Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Which courses you have in mind
- What the venue already provides
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Ask staff about diets in advance
Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.
Bar staff and sangria on request.

Common questions in Oakfield
What’s the nearest station to Oakfield for guests?
Ryde St Johns Road station, in Oakfield itself.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Oakfield.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why choose Love Paella in Oakfield

Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
Oakfield is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
