Questions from North Looe
Can you cook in Priest Hill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
Perfect for your wedding in North Looe
Couples choose paella because it feels relaxed and generous, and because guests remember it.
These are some of the occasions we cater:
- Vow renewals and civil ceremonies

- Parties after a register office wedding
Couples marrying at local churches such as St John's Church often hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so the meal is ready when you arrive.

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For a summer wedding in North Looe, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Put us in touch with your venue
We generally set up where guests can watch, and it makes a great photo.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Live paella or other catering?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Why choose Love Paella in North Looe
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- The courses you’d like
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
