Our Services

Outdoor events in London require more than just great food. You’re dealing with unpredictable weather, strict venue rules, transport restrictions, and guests who expect flawless service regardless of the setting. That’s why our outdoor catering services are designed to cover every detail, so your event runs without disruption and your guests leave satisfied.

From corporate events in Canary Wharf to weddings in Richmond, we bring structured planning, flexible menus, and mobile catering solutions that work across any London venue.

Here’s how we serve you at your most important occasions:

Corporate Event Catering

Business events are about timing and image. Whether it’s a financial board meeting in The City, a product launch in Shoreditch, or a networking evening in Mayfair, catering must run with clockwork precision.

How we deliver corporate catering outdoors:

  • Service schedules built around your agenda to avoid interruptions during key presentations.
  • Menus adapted for diverse dietary requirements including vegan, gluten-free, and halal.
  • Mobile catering units that provide hot, fresh, and hygienic meals even in open-air setups.
  • Trained event staff to maintain service standards that reflect your company’s reputation.

With over 72% of London businesses hosting at least one major event every year, our catering ensures you stay focused on business while we handle the food and service logistics.

Wedding Catering

Your wedding day should be unforgettable for the right reasons. From a marquee celebration in Richmond Park to a rooftop ceremony in Southbank, our outdoor wedding catering ensures food and service align with the scale and importance of your day.

What our wedding catering includes:

  • Multiple menu packages to suit different budgets and styles, from formal dining to relaxed buffet spreads.
  • Full service staff for plated meals, canapés, or food stations.
  • Coordination with florists, planners, and equipment suppliers to create a smooth flow of service.
  • Drinks and dessert stations designed to keep guests refreshed during long outdoor receptions.

With wedding costs in London averaging £30,000, our catering safeguards one of the biggest investments of the day—the food your guests will remember.

Private Party Catering

From intimate garden parties in Hampstead to milestone anniversaries in Chelsea, private events require a balance of personalisation and professional execution.

Why clients choose our private catering service:

  • Menus curated around specific themes, cuisines, or preferences.
  • Flexible formats including live food stations, canapés, or family-style platters.
  • Staffing and logistics managed to prevent long queues and food shortages.
  • Transparent pricing with packages that work for both small gatherings and larger guest lists.

Whether it’s 20 guests or 200, we deliver the same level of detail and service.

Festival and Large Event Catering

London’s festival scene is vibrant and demanding. With over 250 festivals hosted annually across areas like Brixton, Camden, and Greenwich, catering for thousands requires operational strength.

Our large-event catering covers:

  • Full compliance with all council health and safety requirements.
  • Strategic placement of food stations based on crowd flow to avoid bottlenecks.
  • Scalable menu options that can serve thousands while maintaining quality.
  • On-site logistics teams handling waste, stock, and power needs.

When catering becomes the backbone of a large event, we ensure service is steady and scalable.

Street Food Catering

Street food is part of London’s culture, from Borough Market to Brick Lane. We bring that street market energy to your event with gourmet stations that combine theatre and taste.

Street food catering highlights:

  • Freshly cooked food served live at themed stations.
  • Menu options ranging from Mediterranean wraps and Asian fusion bowls to British classics.
  • Biodegradable packaging for eco-conscious events.
  • Service designed to keep guests moving and engaged.

This format is popular for festivals, casual weddings, and corporate events wanting a relaxed but stylish vibe.

Outdoor BBQ Catering

Nothing sets the summer mood like a BBQ. Whether it’s a riverside party by the Thames or a corporate day out in Greenwich, our BBQ catering creates a lively, flavour-packed experience.

Menu and service options include:

  • Chargrilled meats, fish, and vegetarian alternatives.
  • Side stations with fresh salads, breads, and sauces.
  • On-site grill chefs who manage timing and presentation.
  • Equipment provided for outdoor cooking and service.

BBQ is consistently one of the top three outdoor catering formats requested in London, and we deliver it with precision and flair.

Pop-Up Café Catering

Exhibitions, trade shows, and outdoor fairs often require lighter, café-style catering. We provide mobile café units that deliver both convenience and quality.

Pop-up café catering features:

  • Barista-made hot drinks using mobile espresso bars.
  • Freshly baked pastries, sandwiches, and salads.
  • Options for custom branding to align with sponsors or event hosts.
  • Flexible setups for indoor-outdoor venues such as ExCeL London or Hyde Park.

This service creates a relaxed space for networking or refreshment within larger events.

Drinks and Bar Catering

No event is complete without the right drinks service. From champagne receptions in Westminster to cocktail parties in Shoreditch, our mobile bar setups provide both sophistication and compliance.

Bar catering services include:

  • Licensed bartenders and mixologists.
  • Full packages covering alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.
  • Compliance with London’s strict licensing laws for outdoor events.
  • Customisable menus to match your food offering.

A well-run bar adds energy to an event while ensuring guests remain well-served and safe.
