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.
The magnificent garden guarantees privacy and quiet spaces: its recently renovated Japanese-style pavilion can seat up to 36 guests or has standing room for 50 or more.
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.
#1 BYO booze
Rosy’s typically Australian “Bring Your Own” drinks policy – with no corkage fees added – makes it much easier to entertain in style, without breaking the bank.
#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.

Thank you for treating us to a most enjoyable and delicious, tasty and visually appealing lunch yesterday in your beautiful pavilion surrounded by the beautiful garden.
I was able to forget about my usual life and allow myself to be transported to a different place as if I were on holiday.
Anne Holve – 24/3/2024
Thank you, Rosy. It was a truly amazing celebration with so much love and joy shared with all our most precious loved family and friends.
Friday night was a great success with our guests absolutely bowled over by the venue, the food, the service, the beauty and warmth of your home. Thank you for making it so special for us.

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 stressful.
Rosy’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.
Guests enter the garden through a private side passage.

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.
Hear it from Rosy’s guests
It is very difficult to choose a venue for a funeral reception, for anyone. For my father’s last November, I decided on Rosy’s pavilion as I hoped for an intimate, cosy, family lunch in celebration of my father’s life. I cannot imagine a more lovely environment for this.
Close family joined us from Scotland and all were enchanted by the surprisingly beautiful location, truly delicious food (all food needs were catered for individually and without fuss), courteous and discreet service and warmth. The fire roared, the newly refurbished pavilion glowed and we all relaxed and enjoyed each others’ company. Rosy makes planning effortless, takes on any requests without issue and creates a magical atmosphere with absolutely wonderful food. I had a birthday party at Rosy’s in 2021 and now know that she really can create the perfect atmosphere for whatever occasion you may desire.

Dear Rosy, I can’t thank you enough for the perfect evening you created for me on Friday night. Every single detail was divine. It was like taking all my friends to a perfect magical island for a dinner party. The food was incredible, so delicious. The butlers attended to every detail – I felt like a Princess. Thank you for everything, love
Hanna Garfield – 22/6/2024
The kitchen where Rosy creates the magic
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.

As always, my former colleagues were full of praise for you personally at our reunion gathering yesterday – and for your wonderful food! None of us can believe that this is the fourth year of our meeting for our lovely lunch – and now you know all of us personally I know that a great part of their pleasure is to be so warmly welcomed by you and to partake of your gorgeous food.
Anne Hogg – 1/7/2024

Thank you so much, we will be back…
