This is not a restaurant, it’s a catering company, they don’t have tables for dining in so unless you want them to provide food for a party don’t go there thinking that you can dine in. The page on Google maps is all wrong. No idea what the food and service is like as we were unable to try it.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to a friend's house for a Spanish evening and WOW! The food was truly amazing, so fresh and delicious. The tapas menu was extensive and I would honestly struggle to say which was my favourite. Then came the show-stopper paella - again absolutely amazing. Then came the puddings - great selection, great for sharing. I was blown away by the quality and quantity of food. A fabulous evening - Thank you Carmen :-)

What an amazing evening of authentic Spanish food, wine and music. Was luckily enough to enjoy a tasting menu courtesy of friends. Each course arrived looking and smelling so enticing it was hard to choose a favourite, Spanish food looked from the heart by Carmen. And then desserts arrived :) and they all looked so good I had to try them all. A lovely idea having someone cook the food in your kitchen while you enjoy entertaining your guests but would also consider a takeaway option. Thoroughly recommend. Photo: one of the many courses, paella of course ❤️

Held a ‘Spanish’ evening for my friends. Carmen devised and cooked an amazing Tasting Menu, the food was simply outstanding. Having Carmen attend the evening and cook in my kitchen allowed me to relax and enjoy the evening. The food was simply outstanding, We simply couldn’t choose a favourite course. Carmen recommended the wines (to meet all budgets) which complimented the food and even shared her Spanish playlist on Spotify to add for to the authentic feel of the evening. Carmen provided menus and her charming son helped to serve the food. If you are looking to cater for just a few or larger numbers then I can’t recommend Abanico highly enough.

Full of authentic flavours and dishes from across Spain, we enjoyed our lunch from Carmen... The Spanish menú is perhaps a tradititon that hasn't been as 'imported' to the UK as tapas has, but makes for an enjoyable home experience (especially if accompanied by a good Spanish wine and post-meal 'sobremesa'!). All dishes were well received, easy to prep and well balanced. We look forward to seeing what's on the menu for next month!

Feeling tired of cooking and the generic takeaways available in Thame, we tried Abanico this weekend. From the moment we switched on the oven and pressed play on the Spanish themed Spotify playlist provided it turned out to be a unique dining experience . Carmen provided three authentic Spanish courses along with all the necessary instructions to simply reheat in the Oven. The care given to the preparation and quality of the ingredients was obvious throughout. If you’re after a unique home dining experience with excellent food I would recommend giving Abanico a try.
