Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Paella compared with other options
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella fits perfectly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why Clayhill hosts choose us
- Drinks service on request
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. A summer party in Clayhill stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
