About our wedding paella catering in Winsor
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, with a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella.
There is something special about a country wedding near Winsor, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Winsor, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- 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.

Planning help
Winsor: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Winsor?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
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.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
