What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Expected numbers

Why choose live paella in Sheet?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why choose Love Paella in Sheet
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Fast service from the pan

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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
