The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer party in Norwood Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

For event organisers in Norwood Hill
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Live paella or other catering?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why choose Love Paella in Norwood Hill
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Served hot, straight from the pan
See Our pricing Or The cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
- The length of service
- Parking and unloading
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Often, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send us a photo of the space.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
