What affects the price in Bray Wick

Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
- The courses you’d like
Send us the date, your venue or SL6 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Mention any other courses or food
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you or your venue about timings.
Tapas or canapés make a good start while the paella cooks.
Why choose live paella in Bray Wick?
Food trucks and street-food vans serve one portion at a time. A big pan serves many guests fast, so everyone can eat at the same time. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Bray Wick hosts choose us
- We cover Bray Wick and the whole of Windsor and Maidenhead
- Drinks service on request
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan

Bray Wick questions
Is Bray Wick close to London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
How much does paella catering cost in Bray Wick?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring all the cooking equipment. Tell us what the venue provides, such as tables or crockery.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Evenings in Bray Wick stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- On the day, we set up the burners and pans and get the stock going.
- The rice cooks in full view, while tapas or canapés go round.
- We serve it hot from the pan and clear our area when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Make sure we can park close by to unload

Dishes our guests love
Black rice

Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, cooked until the rice is golden. It’s generally the most photographed pan.
