Wedding paella catering near Clayhill
Wedding paella catering in Clayhill, cooked live
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. We are often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and weddings with mixed diets, serving canapé tapas, table tapas and evening paella.
A wedding in a small place like Clayhill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s 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. 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.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, sunset in Clayhill is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

About the dishes
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food.
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you don’t have to.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How long we’re needed on site
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
