About our tapas catering in Wycombe Marsh
For standing receptions, canapés work best; for seated meals, table tapas. Many events have both. We are often asked to cater cocktail parties and office parties and launches, serving tortilla española, croquetas and Manchego with membrillo.
For a country party near Wycombe Marsh, tapas and sangria set the mood. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
