- Confirm allergies by email
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we serve when guests are ready.

About our paella catering in Myrke
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We will recommend what fits your event. For garden parties and summer barbecues and naming days and family parties, we can cook vegan paella, seafood paella and black rice for your guests.
In a rural place like Myrke, the setting does a lot of the work: a huge pan in a garden or field fits perfectly. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Around midsummer it stays light in Myrke until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu and a clear quote.
- We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan, then clear our cooking area away.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches

What paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
- How long we’re needed on site
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, paella makes vegetarian, vegan and halal guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate pans. It is served quickly from the pan, so queues move. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why choose Love Paella in Myrke
- Drinks service on request
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
