How we price tapas catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Timings and hours
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if you can
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies
- Keep seafood and meat dishes clearly separate
- Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
Each dish is labelled.
Waiting staff for canapés.
The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it is light in World's End until about 9:25pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:10pm; winter receptions, dark by 4:00pm, are better indoors.
- Tell us the date, venue and numbers.
- You get a selection and a price.
- We set up and finish the hot dishes.
- Canapés go round or tapas go to the tables.
- We clear our equipment afterwards.
How to prepare

Should I cook it myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
World's End questions
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Are there vegetarian tapas?
Plenty are vegetarian, such as tortilla, bravas and padrón peppers. Each dish is labelled.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including West Berkshire. See all areas.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.

Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
