You can either arrange a collection from one of our delis or let us deliver to your doorstep anywhere in Greater London, Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds.

We lean on our fantastic chefs, bartenders and waiting team to create unforgettable events and are happy to assist with presenting your food, cooking at your event, arranging staff or simply delivering your food. 

Have some questions? We have answers.

Do you cater for events outside of London?

What are the minimum or maximum numbers you can cater for?

We love catering events big and small and therefore do not have minimum or maximum capacity policies and would be happy to accommodate any occasion and size.

How much notice do I need to give you?

We are able to accommodate most events within 48 hours, however there are some items on our menus that do require longer notice. Please, get in touch with us and we will make even the last minute event happen.

Do you accommodate dietary requirements?

Yes. We can cater to all dietary requirements. Just let us know of any guests' dietary requirements at least 48 hours in advance of your event and we’ll try our best to accommodate everyone.
