The process

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Sunset in North Street is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

  • The date and rough timings
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • Diets and allergies you know about

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Should I cook it myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Why choose Love Paella in North Street

  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
