Wedding paella catering in Britwell
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Britwell
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. Whether it is barn and farm weddings and marquee and garden weddings, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella and more.
For a smaller place like Britwell, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we are needed on site
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space, if you can
- What the venue already provides
- Your date and when you want to eat
Send us the date, your venue or SL2 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Britwell
Which station should guests use for Britwell?
Burnham station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

- What the caterer needs from your venue

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
