Bowl food
Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The paellas you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- Waiting and bar staff
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Where the event is
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of where we’d cook
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your work event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why choose Love Paella in Ibsley
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Fast service from the pan

Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Ibsley questions
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Ibsley too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking.
