Planning an event in Westcott?
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Tapas catering for your event in Westcott
For standing receptions, canapés work best; for seated meals, table tapas. Lots of events do both. Whether it is sharing tapas starters and cocktail parties, we can cook tortilla española, albóndigas and patatas bravas for your guests.
Near Westcott, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
