Event catering in Clare Market, served hot
Across Clare Market, we cater everything from garden parties to staff days. We adapt the menu to the event, but the approach is the same: cooked on site, served hot, cleared away afterwards. For wedding breakfasts and evening food and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, beef brisket and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Clare Market, access is the first thing caterers ask about. We need an outdoor space and a route in, which rules out some flats but suits most gardens, yards and courtyards. A photo helps. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Space, access and the venue
We cook outdoors, so the cooking spot is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Flat ground outdoors for the cooking
- Access wide enough for our equipment
As a London location, Clare Market is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
Our chef cooks and our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we tidy up and pack away. Around midsummer it stays light in Clare Market until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. By late December, sunset is about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, venue and rough numbers.
- Choose your menu with us.
- We arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served at the time you chose.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
