Perfect for your event in Rowley Green
One trader, many diets.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Festivals
- Race days and sports events
- County and country shows
- Open days
Events in parks such as Barnet Gate Wood need permission from the council or landowner, and we’ll send any documents they ask for.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if it rains
- How many staff are coming, and for how long
- Who provides the crockery
- The venue requirements
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Paella compared with other options
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why choose Love Paella in Rowley Green

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
Allergen details are available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Extra pans for busy periods.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening events in Rowley Green have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Let us know the timings for the day
