For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What affects the price in Cores End
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of paellas
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, 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:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Your trader pack and site rules
- A level pitch on firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why choose Love Paella in Cores End
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Paella cooked from scratch on site

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
