Avery Hill parties: what to know
Avery Hill is about 1 mile north-east of Eltham, in Greater London. Parties in Avery Hill are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. We cater in 764 places across Greater London. Our events stretch from Avery Hill to London (about 8 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Eltham Palace (1.2 miles west) and Danson House (1.9 miles east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Parks such as Shoulder of Mutton Green usually need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.

Streets in the area include Bexley Road, Glenure Road and Perpins Road, and we can cook for a party on any of them. Being close to the A210, Avery Hill is easy for us to reach.

The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. For a late-May party in Avery Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Tell us when you want to eat

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Avery Hill questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
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.
Is parking a problem for events in Avery Hill?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
What does paella party catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you cover Avery Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Avery Hill. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Where we can cook in Avery Hill
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
Avery Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
