We cater in all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Gunnersbury to London (about 8 miles away).
If your garden is too small, local venues and clubs near Gunnersbury can be an alternative, as long as there is outdoor space to cook. Thinking of a party in Turnham Green? Cooking in a public park generally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first.

What’s in the pans
Tapas
Tapas keep guests going while they watch the pans.
Seafood paella
A seafood pan with prawns and mussels.
The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer party in Gunnersbury stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
