Tapas catering in Woolley Green, 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. Typical bookings include canapés with welcome drinks and anniversary parties, with Manchego with membrillo, croquetas and albóndigas.

Near Woolley Green, tapas suit gardens, barns and marquees. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

FAQs for Woolley Green

Do you come out to small places like Woolley Green?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Which station should guests use for Woolley Green?

Maidenhead station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.

When do you arrive?

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

How much tapas do we need?

That depends on their role in the meal. Tell us about the event and we will suggest quantities.

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Do we need staff for canapés?

Canapés work best with staff serving, and we can provide them.

What do you need at the venue?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Planning for every diet

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Collect dietary needs
  • Add sangria or cava
  • Label seafood clearly
  • Make sure dishes are labelled

Tapas go out to the tables at the start of the meal.

Spanish desserts to finish.

The process

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Sunset in Woolley Green is around 9:25pm in June, which suits an outdoor reception.

  1. Send us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. We suggest a selection and a quote.
  3. We set up and finish the hot dishes.
  4. Canapés go round or tapas go to the tables.
  5. We pack down when service ends.

Planners, venues and businesses

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Crisps and nibbles fill a gap. Tapas are a real course. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.

Why us?

  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
