About our wedding paella catering in Old Windsor
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Typical bookings include rustic barn weddings and evening wedding food, serving Spanish desserts, evening paella and canapé tapas.
Weddings in a place like Old Windsor often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, sunset in Old Windsor is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
