Cold buffets

Cold fork buffets for large events

If you want a lunch more substantial than the usual sandwiches, a cold fork buffets menu is a great solution when organising all day meetings, conferences or training events in your company.

Smith’s is one of the leading catering companies in London, providing cold fork buffets and catering for offices without kitchen facilities. Food is prepared daily at our central kitchen in Whitechapel, East London. Our chefs use fresh seasonal ingredients from London’s wholesale markets at Billingsgate, Spitalfields and Smithfield to produce a wide variety of menus, both hot and cold.

Below you will find some cold fork buffets menus from our repertoire, but we are always happy to quote for your specific requirements. Please, call us to discuss your ideas.

Smith’s Catering created this menu for a VIP event at the opening/closing ceremonies for both the Olympics and Paralympics. It was so well received that we added it permanently.
