- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Paella compared with other options
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why choose Love Paella in Ottershaw
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
