Tapas

authentic Spanish tapas
                ...served in your own home..
...8 dishes and dessert for £20 pp or less

As an alternative to eating out, where you would typically pay £3 to £5 per dish for tapas (then add your drinks, dessert, travel costs, service charge...) why not host a tapas party in you own home? My charge is a fixed £20 per head for 6-9 people, £19 per head for 10-20, and £18 per head for 21-30 (plus any travel expenses). For that you will be served 8 dishes of your choice from the lists below, plus 2 savoury dips, plenty of fresh bread and a dessert.The maximum party size is around 30 (but I try to be flexible).

I am based in St Ives, Cambridgeshire and am well placed also for Huntingdon, Peterborough, Cambridge and Norfolk. Contact me now to book and arrange your tapas evening.

Choose your own custom combination from the menus, then sit back and relax. Hot and cold dishes, meat, fish and vegetarian options are offered. Food preparation will be completed at your home so it is fresh and hot. The tapas can be served as a sit-down meal, or a fork or finger buffet. I guarantee there will be more than enough food for everyone!

For the fixed price tariff, please choose 3 or more dishes from Menu 1, and the remainder from Menu 2. If you would like a larger selection of dishes, then please ask for a quote.
