Tapas catering in Welborne, made fresh on the day
Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. Canapés go round while guests mingle, or table tapas go out to share. We are frequently asked to cater birthday and anniversary parties and sharing tapas starters, serving gambas al ajillo, croquetas and Serrano ham.
For a country party near Welborne, tapas and sangria set the mood. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

At midsummer, it is light in Welborne until about 9:20pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. By late September it’s dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm.

We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Who clears up?

Can you cook indoors?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

How we price tapas catering
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Parking and unloading
- Your choice of paellas
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The length of service
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
