Tapas catering for your event in Yiewsley
Tapas and paella go hand in hand, served while the paella cooks, but they work on their own too. We are often asked to cater table tapas as a starter and launches and office parties, with padrón peppers, albóndigas and Manchego with membrillo.
Tapas work well for receptions and parties in Yiewsley, in a home, a venue or an office. Tell us about access and parking. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

At midsummer, it’s light in Yiewsley until about 9:20pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. By late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Label seafood clearly
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
- Ask guests about diets and allergies
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
Canapés go round with the drinks as guests arrive.
