Paella party catering in Windsor, cooked live
Paella is relaxed food: it is served from the pan and shared, without any fuss. For christenings and naming days and garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of mixed paella, seafood paella and vegetable paella.
In a town like Windsor, a garden party is the classic choice, and a hall or club works if the garden doesn’t. All we need is a level cooking spot. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Windsor: your questions answered

Do you cater in Windsor?
We do. We cook at events in Windsor and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.

How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, it’s light in Windsor until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Why Windsor hosts choose us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Drinks service on request
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
Take a look at How we price Or The cost guide.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

How we price paella party catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of paellas
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d cook
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
