About our wedding paella catering in Braywoodside

We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Whether it is vow renewals and civil ceremonies and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts for your guests.

Near Braywoodside, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Braywoodside: your questions answered

Can you cook in Ockwells Park?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Do you come out to small places like Braywoodside?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Where do you cater?

We cover London and the South East, including Windsor and Maidenhead. Find your area.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Do you do desserts?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.

Do you do starters?

Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

DIY paella versus live catering

Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Why choose wedding paella catering in Braywoodside?

It works as a wedding breakfast or evening food, so it fits any plan.

Live paella suits almost any gathering. People in Braywoodside book us for events such as:

  • Vow renewals and civil ceremonies
  • Wedding receptions after a small ceremony
  • Weddings with lots of dietary needs
  • Weddings in a marquee or garden

Nearby historic houses include Dorney Court (3.8 miles north-east) and St Leonard's Hill (3.9 miles east). Historic houses and estates often have their own rules on caterers and cooking, so check early if that’s your venue.

Before booking anyone

  • Staff numbers and hours
  • When final numbers are due
  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • Space, access and power needs

How to compare caterers

What we need at the venue

Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

How we price wedding paella catering

We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:

  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • The length of service
  • How many guests are eating

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

What we need to know

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • What the venue already provides
  • The date and rough timings
  • Where the event is

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
  • Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
  • Put us in touch with your venue
  • Choose pan-side or table service

Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, usually timed after the first dance.

Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

Paella compared with other options

Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
