FAQs for Burwood Park
Is Burwood Park close to London?
About 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is typically the best advert for the party.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Normally, if there is outdoor space to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Is my garden big enough?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a picture and we will check.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Planning the cooking area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What affects the price in Burwood Park
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many staff you need
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d cook
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer party in Burwood Park stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
