DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Flat, firm ground
- Trader information and site rules
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Tapas
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Seafood paella
- Churros
- Giant paella pans
- Vegan paella
Paella compared with other options
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. There’s 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 Mundy Bois
- Fast service from the pan
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Drinks service on request
