Tapas evenings
Tapas Evenings & Spanish Small Plates Sharing, the Spanish way.
Authentic Spanish small plates drawn from James's specialist tapas training across Spain — served sharing style for a genuinely social evening.
James trained in tapas in Spain, and it shows in the detail: albóndigas in a slow-built tomato sauce, croquetas with a proper béchamel, seafood cooked hard and fast, and vegetables treated with the same care as the meat.
Tapas evenings are served in waves rather than courses, so the table never empties and the conversation never has to stop. It is the most relaxed format we offer and, for many guests, the most memorable.
Ideal for birthdays, hen parties, relaxed wedding receptions and any evening where you would rather your guests grazed and talked than sat formally through five courses. We cater tapas evenings across Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent and The Cotswolds.
