Do you deliver office lunches in London?
Yes — for larger, higher-value orders. We take delivered office lunch enquiries from around 25 people upwards, with a £450 minimum for delivered and set-up catering. Smaller one-off desk drops are not something we do well, and we will say so rather than take the booking. Everything is made for a named delivery window, delivered and set up by our own team, and cleared away if you want it cleared away.
What does office lunch delivery cost in London?
- From £18 per head — working lunch: sandwiches, salads, fruit, soft drinks.
- From £28 per head — hot buffet or bowl food for client-facing days.
- From £38 per head — executive and board-level lunches.
- £95 per platter — grazing and finger-food platters.
- £450 minimum delivered and set up; £1,200 minimum for staffed events; staff at £28 per hour, four-hour minimum.
Prices are guide prices per person excluding VAT and vary with menu, headcount and location. Full detail is on our London catering prices page and our 2026 London catering cost report.
How quickly can you deliver?
We work to a 48-hour lead time for confirmed menus. Larger or more complex orders are better placed a week ahead, particularly for multi-floor offices and events with significant dietary complexity.
How do we compare to a standard office lunch delivery service?
Volume delivery platforms are built for speed and low minimums. We are built for the orders where getting it wrong is expensive: board lunches, client days, all-hands, investor meetings, launch events. That means a named contact, chef-prepared menus rather than assembled boxes, allergen documentation per dish, and our own staff delivering and setting up. If your requirement is a £60 sandwich drop, a platform will serve you better and faster.
Are you insured and food-safety compliant?
Yes — £10m public and products liability and employers’ liability, HACCP-based procedures and Level 2 food-hygiene trained staff. See our credentials and allergen and dietary policy.
Can you handle allergies and dietary requirements?
Every order comes with a written allergen breakdown per dish. Vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher-style, gluten-free and nut-free menus are standard rather than an upgrade.
Who do you deliver to?
Offices across central and greater London, including the City, Canary Wharf, Belgravia, Bayswater, Shoreditch and the West End. Named clients include Microsoft, Wise, Reddit, Meta and Zscaler — see our client case studies.
Budget-friendly options
If budget is the constraint, the honest answer is: fewer hot items, more volume per platter, and a single menu rather than individual choices. A £18-per-head working lunch for 40 people lands inside the minimum and still arrives set up and staffed to the door.
