Timing is the whole job
A lunch that arrives twenty minutes into a meeting has failed, however good it is. Give us the time food needs to be on the table — not the time the meeting starts — and the building access arrangements.

Corporate Catering in Luton
Corporate catering is judged on two things: whether the food is good, and whether it arrived when you said it would. Both matter, and the second is what gets a caterer re-booked. We cater meetings, staff events, training days, Eid and Diwali celebrations in the workplace, and client hospitality across Luton and the surrounding business parks.

Planning it properly
What to think about before you book
Honest guidance, written from what actually goes wrong at events like yours. Get these four right and the catering takes care of itself.
Mixed dietary needs are the norm
A workplace guest list usually spans vegetarian, halal, and various allergies. We will build a menu with clearly separated options rather than one compromise dish.
Invoicing and purchase orders
If your finance team needs a purchase order number, specific invoice wording or payment terms, tell us at booking and we will set it up from the start.
Repeat and account arrangements
If you cater regularly, a standing arrangement saves you re-briefing every time. Ask about it when you enquire.
Suggested packages

Common questions
What areas do you cover?
We cater across Luton, including Bury Park, and the surrounding towns — Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Bedford, Harpenden, St Albans and further into Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire depending on the date and the size of the event. If you are outside that, ask anyway and we will tell you honestly whether we can do it well.
How much does catering cost?
Our packages are quoted rather than fixed-price, because the cost depends on guest numbers, the dishes you choose, and whether you need delivery or collection. Send us your date, guest count and the package you are interested in and we will come back with a clear figure.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our packages are built around 50, 100 and 200 guests. For anything larger, or for an event with several sittings, ask us for a quote and we will tell you what we can commit to for your date.
Can I change what is in a package?
Yes. Every package can be customised, and you can also build a menu from scratch using the full menu. Tell us what you want on the table and we will price it.
