Tapas catering in Well Head, made fresh on the day
Tapas are sharing food, made for conversation. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. Whether it is table tapas as a starter and birthday and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of patatas bravas, croquetas and Serrano ham and more.
Near Well Head, tapas and sangria suit a garden or field party. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know if tapas are a starter or the main event
- Pair tapas with sangria, cava or sherry
