Tapas catering for your event in Wierton
Tapas pair naturally with a live paella, as a starter while the rice cooks, but they work on their own too. On the menu are gambas al ajillo, patatas bravas and Manchego with membrillo, and typical bookings are for drinks reception canapés and engagement parties.
Near Wierton, tapas and sangria suit a garden or field party. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

What to look for in a quote
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- When final numbers are due
- VAT, if it applies
- Space, access and power needs
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Parking and unloading
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything your venue supplies
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, your venue or ME17 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

- Pair tapas with sangria, cava or sherry
Table tapas are set down to share at the start of the meal.

Is live paella right for your event?
Nibbles fill a gap. Tapas make a proper course. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
