Spanish food made for a party. Start with tapas, gather around a grazing table, make paella the center of dinner, and save room for churros. Our menus can stay simple or build into a full progression from cocktails through dessert.
The Menu
Paella
There is a reason we built a catering company around paella. It feeds a crowd beautifully, brings people together and, when cooked live, turns dinner into part of the celebration.
Our chefs arrive with the pans, burners and equipment needed to prepare paella on site when the venue allows. Guests can watch the rice, sofrito and saffron come together before the finished pans become the centerpiece of the meal.
We offer a range of paellas and can build the selection around your menu, guest count and dietary needs. Live cooking is a signature part of Ñora, but when it is not practical we can also work from a suitable venue kitchen or prepare the food for service another way.
Tapas
Our tapas menus range from familiar Spanish favorites to original dishes developed through our restaurant kitchen. Expect bold flavors, thoughtful presentation and plenty of variety, from passed bites and pintxos to larger shared plates and custom menus created for the event.
Tapas can open the evening before paella, anchor a cocktail-style reception or become the entire meal. For larger events, we can build a menu that moves from lighter bites into richer dishes throughout the celebration.
Grazing Cheese & Charcuterie Tables
Our cheese and charcuterie tables are built to be both generous and beautiful, combining Spanish cheeses and cured meats with olives, membrillo, conservas, breads, nuts, fruit and other small bites. The presentation can be scaled from a focused board for an intimate gathering to an elaborate grazing table that becomes a centerpiece of the room.
They work especially well during cocktail hour, giving guests something abundant and easy to enjoy while they arrive, drink and mingle. Pair the table with passed tapas, a jamón carving station or both, and the opening of the event starts to feel like a complete experience rather than simply the time before dinner.
Jamón Carving
A whole jamón on the stand immediately becomes part of the experience. Our skilled carvers slice each piece by hand in front of guests, using the technique and attention that great jamón deserves. It is part tasting, part theater and one of the most distinctly Spanish additions we can bring to an event.
We offer options ranging from Serrano to Pata Negra Ibérico, served freshly carved throughout the reception. A carving station is especially strong during cocktail hour and pairs naturally with cava, Spanish cheeses, conservas, grazing tables and passed tapas. It can stand on its own as a focal point or become one element of a larger cocktail-hour spread.
Dessert
Dessert can be as simple or as elaborate as the rest of the event. We can finish dinner with plated desserts, create an abundant dessert bar filled with an assortment of mini desserts, or make churros the entire finale. Warm churros on their own are always a crowd-pleaser, especially after paella, but they can also be one part of a much larger dessert display.
For weddings, dessert bars give guests something to explore beyond the wedding cake and can stay open as the celebration moves into dancing. For private parties and corporate events, they create another visual centerpiece and an easy way to offer several different sweets without committing everyone to the same dessert.
Our catering team can help build the dessert service around the flow of the event, whether that means a plated final course, a table of small-format desserts, churros passed late in the evening, or a combination of all three.
Beverages
From a few pitchers of house-made sangria to a complete bar program, beverages can be as simple or as fully serviced as the event requires. We offer house-made sangria, Spanish wines and cava, beer, custom cocktails and full bar packages, along with thoughtful non-alcoholic options such as house-made lemonade, iced tea, mocktails and other alcohol-free drinks.
