How our wedding paella catering works in Wildridings
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and farm and barn venues.
For a smaller place like Wildridings, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We will need a level spot and a way to reach it. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of people
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Wildridings: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Wildridings for guests?
The closest is Bracknell station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is served at its best.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Wildridings, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
