About our tapas catering in Wrecclesham
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers, and several can be made gluten-free. We cook albóndigas, gambas al ajillo and patatas bravas, and we are regularly asked to cater engagement parties and tapas and paella menus.
Around Wrecclesham, tapas suit garden parties and village-hall celebrations. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
