- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.

FAQs for Hanworth
What’s the nearest station to Hanworth for guests?
Bracknell station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
How the day works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. Golden-hour photos in Hanworth at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
