How festival paella catering works in Windsor and Maidenhead
Big batches mean lunchtime rushes are easy. Portions are served in seconds. Popular choices include churros, vegan paella and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for VIP and hospitality areas and open days.
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
What you will pay
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Running an event in Windsor and Maidenhead
Across Windsor and Maidenhead, fairs, fêtes and markets happen in Maidenhead, Windsor and Boyn Hill and in 42 villages and hamlets. Paella suits town markets and village fêtes alike.
Maidenhead: School fairs, for a school like Claires Court Schools, are a natural fit for a paella stall. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as All Saints' Church, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola. Evening events in Maidenhead have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Schedule crew meals
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Extra pans for busy periods.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Trader information and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
