Tapas catering in Warren Street, made fresh on the day
Tapas and paella go hand in hand, served while the paella cooks, but they work on their own too. We cook Manchego with membrillo, patatas bravas and croquetas, and typical bookings are for tapas and paella menus and engagement parties.
Near Warren Street, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Standard canapés can feel samey. Spanish tapas bring colour and flavour. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
