Live paella catering in Motspur Park

About our paella catering in Motspur Park

We cook every paella from scratch on the day, starting with a slow sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, then the stock, saffron and rice. On the menu are vegetable paella, mixed paella and vegan paella, and typical bookings are for weddings, from canapés to evening food and naming days and family parties.

Around Motspur Park, most London events we’re asked about are in gardens, courtyards and hired venues. The thing to plan is parking and unloading, so let us know about parking permits or a driveway. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

Catering for every guest

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
  • Have seats for most of your guests
  • Ask for labels on each pan
  • Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences

Paella is best eaten as soon as it is ready, so we serve when guests are ready.

Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter as the rice cooks.

Before you choose a spot

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

Motspur Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Why choose Love Paella in Motspur Park

  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
