Parties in Rise Park: gardens, venues and local tips
Rise Park is about 1 mile north of Romford, in Greater London.

Rise Park is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our events stretch from Rise Park to London (14 miles away).
Historic houses near Rise Park include Hare Hall (1.3 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Local halls and clubs near Rise Park are an option if the garden is small.
This part of Greater London takes in RM1, RM5 and RM2, so your party can be anywhere in it.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. A summer party in Rise Park stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve, then clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Plan cover in case of rain

Rise Park: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St James?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Rise Park?
The closest is Gidea Park station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Rise Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
