Northwood parties: what to know
Northwood is in Greater London. For a party in Northwood, we can cook in gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and offices in and around Northwood. We cook in all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Northwood to London (16 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, Carpenders Park station is about 1.7 miles away. Parks such as King George V Playing Fields normally need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Let the neighbours know
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Give separate numbers for children
Kids are fascinated by the huge pans, from a safe distance.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.

Northwood: your questions answered
Can you cook in King George V Playing Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Carpenders Park station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

On request. Crockery or disposables are available.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability right away.
Do you have a kids’ option?

How many different paellas?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, it is light in Northwood until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:

- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
Northwood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
