About This Caterer

This family-run catering business was established in 2011 in Romsey and is operated by Anneliese Kiely Polo, a BBC MasterChef finalist from 2011. They specialise in authentic Spanish cuisine including paellas and tapas, serving areas across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, and Surrey. The business can accommodate orders ranging from intimate gatherings of 2 people to large events of 300 people.

Their comprehensive menu includes pintxos, tablas ibéricas, tapas, raciones, empanadas, salads, and desserts with their signature dish being Pork and Chorizo Empanada alongside traditional “Gallega” and vegetarian empanada options. All recipes originate from family traditions passed down from the owner’s Spanish mother, Andalucian grandmother, and Galician godmother, emphasising authenticity, tradition, simplicity, honesty, and quality.

The business offers flexible service options including home delivery with finishing instructions, on-site event completion, and cookery lessons conducted either in their Romsey kitchen or at clients’ homes with gift vouchers available. Popular dishes are served in traditional paelleras and earthenware dishes, eliminating the need for replating and simplifying cleanup whilst maintaining authentic presentation.
