Lead times, packages, halal & dietary handling, invoicing, and what 'professional' actually looks like on the day.
Corporate catering goes wrong when caterers treat it like a private party. This guide is written for EAs, office managers, and event leads booking lunches, training days, AGMs, and client hospitality across Richmond and South West London.
From a 10-person training-room lunch to a 600-person AGM, the format flexes — the standards don't. Drop-off lunches arrive in branded recyclable packaging with full allergen labelling. Hot buffets come with chafing dishes and a uniformed server.
Standard lead time is 48 hours. We accept genuine same-day requests subject to capacity (call us — don't email). Recurring office lunches can be set up on a standing order with a single monthly invoice.
All meat is halal supplier halal. Vegan and vegetarian dishes are prepared in clearly separated batches. Every order ships with a printed allergen matrix; severe allergies trigger isolated prep on request.
We invoice on company letterhead with PO numbers and 14-day terms for established accounts. New accounts pay on confirmation for the first booking, then move to terms.
