Tapas catering for your event in Yeading
Tapas are made for sharing and talking over. We serve them in two ways: canapés carried round while guests mingle, or table tapas set down to share. We cook croquetas, Manchego with membrillo and padrón peppers, and we are regularly asked to cater drinks reception canapés and work receptions.
Canapé tapas suit smaller London spaces in Yeading. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
