What we do

One kitchen, two ways to eat well.

Events and catering

Local fiestas and barracas (fiesta marquees), paella and live cooking, First Communions, christenings and company lunches. We’ve been cooking for big groups for years, and we have the team to cater for 40 or for 500 guests at a single event.

Everyday cooking and delivery

Good old-fashioned dishes of the day, made every morning in our kitchen: rice dishes, stews and hearty soups to take away or have delivered to your door. Daily delivery in Aspe and the surrounding area.

The rice

Rice is the heart of the house.

Of everything that comes out of our kitchen, rice is what people ask us for most and what we do best. Paellas and rice dishes cooked live, in front of your guests, for 40 people or for 500 in a single service.

Behind it is José Galipienso, who runs the kitchen. And behind José, a family that has been feeding Aspe since 1960.

Four generations

The same family feeding Aspe since 1960.

Xepep didn’t start out as a catering company. It started out as a village shop. That’s where the name, the stews and the way we work come from: good, traditional produce, cooked every day and in quantity.

Pepe and Antonia open Alimentación Virgen de las Nieves. Today’s name comes from grandfather Pepe and the Valencian ‘xe’.
