Where we can cook in Tyburn
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Space on each table
- A suitable spot to finish hot tapas
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
Tyburn is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.

What tapas catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The number of people
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer drinks reception in Tyburn has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. By late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.

Tyburn questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Annunciation: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

The closest is London Paddington station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Tyburn.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
