What’s in the pans

Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, not seafood. It is often the most popular pan at an event.
Questions from Tyburn
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Annunciation?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Tyburn for guests?
London Paddington station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Are premium seafood options available?
Seafood choices are agreed when we plan the menu, including premium options if you want them.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can paella be the only main course?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add tapas first or dessert after.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Make sure each pan is labelled
- Confirm allergies by email
- Mention any other courses or food
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If timings shift, we adapt.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t provide them.
Paella compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
