Your questions about festival paella catering in Hunton
Do you come out to small places like Hunton?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Hunton from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How many paellas should we have?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Live paella or other catering?
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Why choose Love Paella in Hunton
- A quote that spells everything out
- Events in Hunton and across Hampshire
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
