Tapas catering in Wooden Hill, made fresh on the day
For standing receptions, canapés work best; table tapas suit seated meals. Lots of events do both. Whether it’s birthday drinks and launches and office parties, we can cook albóndigas, gambas al ajillo and tortilla española.
In a rural spot like Wooden Hill, tapas can be served in a garden, barn or marquee. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

How we price tapas catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many guests are eating
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
