Who we cater for
Pearl Lemon Catering is an event catering company based in London, working across the UK and Europe. We have catered for teams at Microsoft, Wise, Reddit, Meta and Zscaler, alongside private clients, conferences, festivals and family occasions.
We are not a meal-delivery service. We work to a schedule agreed in advance, with staffed service, self-serve delivery and drop-off formats depending on each brief. Lead time can be as little as 48 hours.
Case studies
- Meta – bubble tea bar, Amsterdam: a staffed drinks bar built on site, sized so the queue kept moving.
- Zscaler – corporate catering, Barcelona: conference catering planned backwards from the agenda.
What clients tend to care about
- Published prices. Our bands are on the catering prices page, so a budget can be signed off before a call.

- Insurance and paperwork. GBP 10m public liability and GBP 10m employers’ liability; details on the credentials page.
