At work

Connecting teams in the workplace extends beyond lunch breaks and post-work pints. It's about fostering genuine connections and building camaraderie among colleagues. And food is the secret ingredient that brings people together, sparking conversations and creating shared memories. Especially when the food in question is bountiful platters of delicious food radiating flavour, colour, and generosity.

Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of bringing the joy of our kitchen to countless workplaces, from bustling offices to corporate events. We've helped create memorable dining experiences that not only keep colleagues talking but also leave them feeling satisfied.

Our chefs can prepare a feast for your team off-site, then deliver and arrange your display with a member of our front-of-house team. We’ll handle everything from setup to cleanup, allowing you to focus on what matters most — connecting with your colleagues or entertaining clients. Or, if you want to keep things simple, you can either collect from our delis or let us deliver your dishes to your doorstep – all boxed up and ready for you to enjoy.

If you have an event coming up or have any questions, drop us an email at catering@ottolenghi.co.uk or complete the form to the right. We’re here to help. You can either let our experienced Catering Manager propose a perfect menu for your occasion or pick exactly what you want from our menus. We also lean on our fantastic chefs, bartenders and waiting staff to create unforgettable events and are happy to assist with presenting your food, cooking at your event, arranging waiting staff or simply delivering your food. 

"Huge thanks to you and your team for a magnificent service, delicious fresh food, wonderful selection and variety, beautiful presentation, thorough communication and timely delivery…. we couldn’t have ask for anything more, we will be back again soon for sure!!!"
