Choosing caterers in West Hackney
Compared with a caterer who drops food off, we stay, cook and serve, and clears up afterwards. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Planned to your running order
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
If timings change on the day, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it.
Ask us to label the meat-free food.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
