- Think about shade and seating

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many guests are eating
- How long we are needed on site
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Live paella or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why choose Love Paella in Apuldram
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
