Tapas catering in Wintershill
Tapas catering for your event in Wintershill
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, such as tortilla, bravas and padrón peppers, and some can be gluten-free. For evening sharing boards and birthday and anniversary parties, we can cook albóndigas, tortilla española and croquetas.
In a rural spot like Wintershill, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Waiting and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The courses you’d like
- Anything your venue supplies
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Sunset in Wintershill is around 9:25pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
