About
About Love Paella
Paella made the way it’s meant to be: outdoors, in a big pan, for a crowd.
What we do
Love Paella is a live paella caterer covering London and the South East. We cook paella from scratch, in giant pans, at weddings, birthday parties, garden parties, office events, fairs and festivals.
We also serve Spanish tapas and canapés, desserts and sangria, and we can provide bar staff, waiting staff and crockery, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
How we cook
Paella starts with a sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, cooked down slowly in olive oil. The stock and saffron go in next, then the rice, which is spread evenly across the pan and left alone. No stirring: that’s how the rice cooks evenly and the base forms the toasted crust the Spanish call socarrat.
Each paella is cooked in its own pan, which is how we keep vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal paellas separate from the rest.
Where we work
We cater across London and the South East: London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight. Find your area.
