Hiring a caterer in London: what to know

Anyone booking suppliers in Greater London soon discovers London is the UK's biggest events market with venues from Mayfair townhouses to riverside warehouses. Caterers working in London are regularly booked at venues like The Savoy, Kew Gardens and Asylum Chapel.

Expect to pay roughly £68–£120 per guest, depending on menu for a caterer in London. Quotes move on menu choice, service style (plated vs buffet), staff numbers and on-site cooking versus drop-off.

For weddings and large events, book 6–9 months ahead. Smaller private parties and corporate catering can usually be arranged in 3–4 weeks. In London, the best-reviewed pros are often booked 6–12 months out for summer Saturdays.

Venues such as The Savoy each have their own quirks (access, curfews, power, sound limits), so share your venue when requesting quotes. Also, London is a premium market, so confirm what's included before comparing quotes on price alone.
