FAQs for Oakgrove
Can you cook in Campbell Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
We’re having a ceremony at The Woolstones Community Centre: 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.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Generally, if there’s outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you cover Oakgrove?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Oakgrove. For a quote, use our quote form.

Party venues around Oakgrove

Thinking of a party in Campbell Park? Cooking in a public park normally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first. Nearby historic houses include Linford Manor (2.7 miles north-west) and Bletchley Park (3 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Woolstone (1 mile north-west), Middleton (1 mile east), Woughton on the Green (1 mile south), Walton Hall (1 mile south-east) and Simpson (2 miles south). We also cook in nearby towns such as Bletchley (3 miles south), Newport Pagnell (3 miles north), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (3 miles south), Furzton (3 miles south-west), Whitehouse (4 miles west) and Fenny Stratford (3 miles south).

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. At midsummer, it is light in Oakgrove 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
