Paella compared with other options
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Paella adds something different in a food line-up. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why choose Love Paella in Aston

Festival paella catering in Aston, cooked live
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. Typical bookings include village fêtes and music and food festivals, serving vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
At a field event near Aston, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

How the day works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Aston stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
