How our paella party catering works in Clay Hill
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. Whether it is summer garden parties and family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas.
In Clay Hill, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A photo of the garden helps. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
Booked staff help serve and clear so you can relax.
Sangria sets the mood.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
What you get with us
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Sangria and bar staff available

Hosting a paella party in Clay Hill
Clay Hill is about 1 mile north of Enfield, in Greater London. We bring paella party catering to gardens, halls and venues around Clay Hill. Clay Hill is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Clay Hill to London (about 12 miles away).
Historic houses near Clay Hill include Forty Hall (0.7 miles east) and Wyllyotts Manor (5 miles west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. After a christening at a church like Church of St John the Baptist, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends.
Here we cover the EN2 and EN1 postcode area. Local streets include Cedar Road, Flash Lane and Acacia Road; a party at home on any of them works well with live paella. For parties just outside Clay Hill, we cover Gordon Hill (1 mile south), Forty Hill (1 mile south-east), Crews Hill (1 mile north-west), Enfield Chase (1 mile south-west) and Enfield (1 mile south).

How we price paella party catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The length of service
Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Anything your venue supplies

It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
Clay Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Clay Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Questions from Clay Hill
Can you cook in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
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.
How early should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
