Caterers in Greenwich
Event catering near Greenwich
Unlike kitchen-based caterers, we cook outdoors at your venue. In Greenwich, that opens up gardens, fields, car parks and marquees. We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and christmas parties, serving halloumi skewers, pulled pork and rotisserie chicken.
In a London neighbourhood like Greenwich, 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, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
We bring the cooking equipment with us, so there is nothing for you to find or hire for the cooking.
For a big event, have both menus.
How the day works
We cook outdoors under cover, so a shower will not stop the food, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Sunset in Greenwich is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which gives summer events long evenings.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and the kind of event.
- You get a menu suggestion and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef cooks and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.

How we compare with other caterers
Compared with a traditional caterer, our food is hearty and informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue, which suits outdoor and informal events.

What the cooking area needs
We cook outdoors, so the cooking spot is the main thing to plan. Here’s what helps:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A clear way in from where we park
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and trees
Greenwich is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
