If you are responsible for organising food at work, whether that is a daily working lunch, a client meeting, a training day or a celebration for the whole team, you will know that getting it right matters. Food that arrives late, runs short or fails to account for dietary requirements reflects on you as much as on the caterer. At Smiths Catering London, we have been providing lunch catering in London since 1986, and we understand exactly what office managers, PAs and event organisers need from a catering partner: reliability, good food and a team that does not need chasing.
We are a family-run business with our own kitchen in Kent, on the edge of London.
What We Provide for London Offices
Our office catering covers a broad range of formats, so whether you need something simple and regular or something more considered for a specific occasion, we can put together a menu that suits your requirements.
For daily staff lunches and working meetings, our lunch delivery service brings individual lunch boxes directly to your office. This works particularly well for companies without kitchen facilities on site. Lunch boxes are available with a minimum order of 40, and the format keeps service straightforward without any fuss.
For larger gatherings or occasions where you want something with a bit more presence, we offer a full range of buffet and sharing formats. Hot buffets and cold buffets both work well for training days and all-hands lunches where guests are serving themselves. Our fork buffet menus sit nicely in the middle ground, offering something a little more generous than a finger buffet while still keeping the format relaxed and sociable.
For client meetings and board lunches, sharing boards make a strong impression without being fussy, while finger buffets remain a reliable choice across a wide variety of office occasions.
The Occasions We Cater For
Our corporate catering service is built to fit around the way London offices actually work. The occasions we cover regularly include:
- Daily working lunches for staff
- Client and partner meetings
- Training days and workshops
- Board meetings and leadership lunches
- Team celebrations and office milestones
- Away days and company briefings
For each of these, the food needs to arrive on time, look the part and leave no one without something to eat. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every booking.
Dietary Requirements
Modern workplaces include a wide range of dietary needs, and catering that does not account for them causes problems. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other common dietary requirements as standard, and we ask about your guests’ needs as part of every booking conversation. Our blog post on catering for every dietary requirement in the modern workplace covers this in more detail if you would like to read through the options before we speak.
How Ordering Works
The process is straightforward. Get in touch with the date, your expected numbers and a rough idea of the format you have in mind. We will come back to you with a menu proposal that fits your occasion and your team. We build each booking around what you actually need. For minimum numbers on any particular format, please ask us directly and we will confirm what applies.
A Caterer You Can Rely On
Smiths Catering London has been feeding London offices and businesses since 1986. We are not a large corporate operation; we are a family-run team with our own kitchen, straightforward communication and a genuine interest in making your event go well. For offices that need bowl food one week and a buffet the next, we are the kind of caterer that is worth having in your contacts.
To discuss your requirements or request a menu, please get in touch. We will get back to you promptly with everything you need to make a decision.
