Rosy’s
The perfect private catering venue in Willesden Green, London NW2
Celebrate in a quiet and magical place
Whatever your occasion, Rosy’s provides a truly individual setting – perfect for those wishing to celebrate any special occasion in a peaceful and welcoming environment.

3 reasons to choose Rosy’s
As if the location and magical venue weren’t enough, here are 3 reasons why choosing Rosy’s is what makes the most sense: for your budget, as well as your palate.

#2 The chef
The outstanding quality of Rosy’s food and her inventive menus mean that your guests’ palate will be treated to heavenly delights.
#3 Transport
Whether you’re driving to Rosy’s or using public transport, getting there and back is so easy – and free parking is readily available.

The venue is unique, the food excellent, especially as you had to cope with two (2 and 4 year-old) small children and a vegetarian – you coped with humour and grace. My birthday party was a great success. Every detail was perfect. Thank you!
Anna Jansz – March 2025
“Rosy’s Food” was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The food was beyond delicious, the staff were warm and professional and Rosy herself took full charge of the organisation with such ease and confidence — it made the whole experience seamless. Friends are still talking about the cocktails and the canapés. Just perfect!

London’s favourite venue for a unique dining experience
Situated in North West London’s Willesden Green, Rosy’s is an amazing venue for celebrating special occasions.
Each one of your guests will enjoy a sophisticated and stress-free experience in calm and peaceful surroundings.
Three important ingredients set this amazing space apart from other venues – charismatic chef Rosy Walker, our money-saving ‘bring your own’ drinks policy and excellent parking & transport connections.
An all-weather venue with a heart-warming fireplace, in a lush, wild garden
With its wood-burning fire, the air-conditioned pavilion is an all-weather year-round venue set in the middle of a 55-metre garden between a delightful patio area and a magical wild back garden – which is lit after dark by concealed lighting and candles.
Using a marquee on the patio area can increase the number of guests seated for a meal from 36 to 65, or up to 100 guests standing.
Impeccable service in a relaxed, elegant style
At Rosy’s service is attentive but never intrusive; Rosy’s team of professional butlers will look after all your needs superbly.
And yet, whilst the style is elegant and refined, it is never stuffy. That’s the Australian in Rosy coming out!
Rosy herself can also be relied upon to deliver outstanding meals which help create the kind of joyous experience that a special occasion should be, but so often isn’t, because organising one can be so stressfRosy’s elegant style and the ambience of the setting mean you can arrive relaxed and leave replete and happy!

The ideal environment for any occasion
Rosy’s offers the perfect environment for any special occasion – we have had birthday lunches and dinners, brunches, high teas, cocktail parties, baby-showers, baptisms, bar mitzvah, weddings and wakes. We have had photo and film shoots here too!
The pavilion is also a perfect setting for anyone who needs a peaceful space for classes, board meetings, away-days or any similar activity.
The view that greets you as you enter Rosy’s wonderful venue.
Rosy’s – the value
Australia popularised BYO (Bring Your Own) in the 1950s and 60s, and that is why Rosy Walker has adopted it for Rosy’s – her reasoning “It simply saves our guests a lot of money”.
The rules are simple: buy your favourite tipple & soft drinks, bring your selection or have it delivered to Rosy’s.
There it will be stored and chilled (if required), served (with aplomb), and will not have incurred any mark up or corkage charge!
If you calculate the marked-up price of alcohol at any London restaurant or other venue against Rosy’s BYO policy then you will realise that entertaining at Rosy’s is the sensible option.
Wakes and memorials
Organising a funeral, wake or memorial service will always be an unexpected undertaking at an emotional time.
The lack of bespoke venues offering a private, dignified, intimate, and peaceful environment can add to the stress.
Rosy’s place and her bespoke service provide the ideal solution to this difficult circumstance. With her husband David, Rosy will help you take the stress out of planning the occasion to suit your wishes.
The garden and venue offer plenty of private corners where to find quiet and a moment of reflection.

A huge thank you for making the celebration day for Mum’s wake. It was such a special event. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. People loved the venue and some have expressed an interest in booking their own event in the future. Thank you again for all your efforts – hope to be back sometime!
Deborah Phillips – March 2025
What a pleasure it was to say goodbye to dear Agnes in your wonderful care. We all remember a delicious lunch in a gorgeous garden. We were well look after. You and your butlers were simply amazing.

Where to begin?! Having spent months ruminating and considering various options, the moment I met you and saw your glorious pavilion I knew I’d landed. My 70th party was just magical! The venue looked fairytale beautiful, aided by your fabulous garden and lighting. The food was imaginative and delicious, further enhanced by the wonderful butlers you organised. My friends felt very pampered, comfortable, well-fed and happy, which made me happy. I’ve had reams of delightful thank yous from them. Thank you, thank you Rosy for enabling my party to be the success it was!
Dorit Zak – February 2025
I held a 50th food and drinks party at Rosy’s Food and wanted it to be a semi formal affair with seated arrangements, but a flexible and social affair at the same time. She organised a huge amount of food for 30 guests, the staff she employed to look after us were great with the right touch of suitability for the occasion.
The timing for everything was spot on and everyone was very complimentary and had a great time… thoroughly recommended for any social gathering!
Nigel Reed – March 2025
Such an atmospheric venue to entertain in.
Rosy’s Story
Rosy Walker left rural Australia for London when she was just 19 – and has never looked back. Getting the taste for French cuisine on a traditional Aussie European tour, she gained her culinary spurs by training in both London and Paris.
Extensive travel has further broadened her range of cookery styles and skills. For ten years Rosy was the partners’ Chef at top UK law firm Allen and Overy. Since then, she has catered for multiple one-off memorable events for many years.
For the last 14 years, these memorable occasions have mostly taken place in the Japanese-style dining pavilion in the garden of her own home. There, Rosy creates the magic.
With the help of her butlers, she uses the combined expertise and experience from all her team to make every event effortless and stylish.

Could I please thank you on behalf of everyone for a superb lunch yesterday. We all had a wonderful time and agreed that we need this to become an annual event.
David Lewis – April 2025
Thank you so much for last night. You did an unbelievable job!
Maxine Jaffa – April 2025
Yesterday was magical. We had a totally brilliant time and lots of our friends have already written to us about how fantastic it was: the enchanting setting, the utterly delicious food, the charming but unobtrusive service and the lovely welcome you gave us all. It was all we hoped for and more: even our friends we are having difficulties in their life totally entered in the spirit of the occasion and came away smiling.
Matthew and Françoise Delas-Reisz – May 2025
Rosy and her team went out of their way to make my baby shower special! From the start Rosy had great ideas on the menu and what would work. Not to mention the impeccable cutlery that she has for her guests to use.
The event space itself is stunning and the beauty is that it’s weather agnostic- so it’s perfect any time of the year because of how she’s designed it! The space ensures that there is natural light always and an air of openness due to the ceiling to floor glass windows that overlook her beautiful rustic garden. Rosy was also super flexible in allowing our friends to bring their dogs which was great!
There was not a single one of our guests who didn’t comment on how gorgeous the venue was or how amazing the food was! We had barely any leftovers which just goes to show that the proof was in the pudding as they say!
Thank you, Rosy, and your wonderful service staff for allowing me to enjoy my day with our family & friends with barely any effort on my side! Couldn’t have asked for more!
