Catering events across SW18
Across SW18, we cook in 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Wimbledon, Clapham Junction and Battersea or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Wandsworth: Historic houses near Wandsworth include Fulham Palace (1.5 miles north-west) and Carlyle's House (2.2 miles north-east). Historic venues frequently limit cooking, so ask early if you’re booking one. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Anne's Church, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Evenings in Wandsworth stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Put allergy details in writing
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
