Oakwood questions
What’s the nearest station to Oakwood for guests?
Winchmore Hill station, about 1.3 miles south-east of the centre.
We are having a ceremony at St Thomas's Church: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. A summer party in Oakwood 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.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
