About our paella catering in Tingewick
We arrive with the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook the paella in front of your guests. When it’s ready, it is served straight from the pan. On the menu are seafood paella, vegetable paella and black rice, and typical bookings are for birthday celebrations and community events and fairs.
For a rural spot like Tingewick, the countryside is part of the appeal: a giant pan in a garden or field fits perfectly. Tell us about access and the ground. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Is live paella right for your event?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and food can sit out for a while. Paella is cooked live and served hot. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why choose Love Paella in Tingewick
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Fast service from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Have seats for most of your guests
Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, and that is when we invite guests up.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t provide them.
