A wedding in a small place like Hill Brow frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Hill Brow
We’re having a ceremony at Rake Mission Church: can you cater afterwards?

How far is Hill Brow from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why choose Love Paella in Hill Brow
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
What’s in the pans
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.
Canapé tapas
Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, ideal for the drinks reception.
What wedding paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks. In Hill Brow, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
