What else we do in Eastbury
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a late-May party in Eastbury, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we offer
- Mixed paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Churros
- Vegetable paella
- Tapas
- Seafood paella
- Paella Valenciana
Why choose live paella in Eastbury?
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why choose Love Paella in Eastbury
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Your questions about paella party catering in Eastbury
Is Eastbury too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Eastbury close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
