Wedding paella catering in North Camp, cooked live
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Typical bookings include relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and evening food for extra guests, serving evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.
For a smaller place like North Camp, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Paella compared with other options
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. 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 North Camp
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- A quote that spells everything out

Common questions in North Camp
Could we have live paella in Ramillies Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mark?
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.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
