About our wedding paella catering in Winslow
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we are frequently booked for garden and marquee weddings and weddings with mixed diets.
For a smaller place like Winslow, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

What else we do in Winslow
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables.
Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago.
FAQs for Winslow
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Laurence: can you cater afterwards?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Winslow close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Pick a serving style
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Winslow, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

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

Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

- The date and time of the event
- What the venue already provides
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
