How our tapas catering works in Wadwick
Tapas and paella go hand in hand, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they work on their own too. Whether it is evening grazing and sharing tapas starters, we will put together a menu of patatas bravas, tortilla española and Manchego with membrillo.
Near Wadwick, tapas and sangria suit a garden or field party. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
