Nearby historic houses include Kelmscott Manor (2.7 miles south-west) and Buscot Park (4 miles south-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for caterers.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

FAQs for Clanfield

Is Clanfield too small for live paella?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

How far is Clanfield from London?

Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.

What do you need at the venue?

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

What paperwork do you have?

Send us the venue’s requirements.

Should we have more than one paella?

Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.

Do you provide plates and cutlery?

If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.

Do you cater in Clanfield?

Yes, we do. Clanfield is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

How it works

The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Clanfield, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:30pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
