Paella party catering for Gibraltar events
Paella party catering in Gibraltar, cooked live
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. For retirement celebrations and wakes and memorial gatherings, we can cook mixed paella, seafood paella and tapas and more.
Country parties near Gibraltar suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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.
For event organisers in Gibraltar
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Common questions in Gibraltar
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Saints Peter and Paul?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Gibraltar?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What affects the price in Gibraltar
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading

Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- Anything your venue supplies
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Send us the date, your venue or HP17 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Warn the neighbours
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Count adults and children separately
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
Live paella or other catering?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so everyone eats together. And there is no host stuck at the grill. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why choose Love Paella in Gibraltar
