What else we do in Westcombe Park
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
As a London location, Westcombe Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
