What’s in the pans
Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or your cake as dessert.
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
