St George's Fields: your questions answered

What about parking in St George's Fields?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.

We are having a ceremony at Former Church of St Jude: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

Can you bring crockery?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.

How do you work out quantities?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.

Who clears up?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.

Planning for every diet

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Choose pan-side or table service
  • Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
  • Tell us when speeches will be
  • Ask about your date as soon as you have one

Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.

Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.

Where we can cook in St George's Fields

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:

  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee

St George's Fields is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Why choose Love Paella in St George's Fields

  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Events in St George's Fields and across Greater London

What affects the price in St George's Fields

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • The paellas you choose
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Parking and unloading

Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Details that help

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • What the venue already provides
  • The courses you’d like

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
