Wedding menus at the ready...

Whether you’re a sit-down dinner kind of couple or prefer to keep things casual with canapes and sliders, we’ve got you covered; these are the best wedding caterers to book for your big day.

Wedding Caterers To Know Now

Rocket

Set up by brother-and-sister duo Michael Symonds and Caroline Hall, Rocket is one of London’s go-to wedding and event caterers. The team like to work with the bride and groom closely when curating their wedding menu, tailoring dishes to specific tastes and preferences – before styling them to fit in with themes and venues.

The Admirable Crichton 

A favourite of Prince Charles, and inspired by an extraordinary butler who could whip up a dinner party from a sorry shipwreck, Admirable Crichton has become a byword for luxury entertainment.

Lettice Events

B Corp certified caterer Lettice Events makes every morsel of your wedding dinner meaningful. The family-run catering business creates zero-waste menus using seasonal, local produce – you’ll even find that scraps used to make ‘wasteful canapés’.

Kemp and Kemp

Run by husband-and-wife duo Richard and Karen Kemp, this caterer has been satiating hungry wedding guests across the Midlands since 2010. Expect a collaborative experience (Karen says she ‘love, love, loves discussing’ her ideas with brides and grooms), with the final menu (meaty, vegetarian and vegan, as per request) offering a curation of both classic and playful dishes. And Kemp and Kemp even provides crockery, cutlery and linen to avoid single-use plastic waste.

Blame Frank

Not a fan of sit-down dinners? You can skip the tradition with Blame Frank, which serves up BBQ boards, tacos and delicious desserts on aesthetically designed serving boards.

Rhubarb Events

Another London favourite, Rhubarb Events has been dazzling wedding parties since 1996. With menus curated by an expert team of top chefs, this caterer can seemingly do it all – from extravagant three-course dinners and stylish canapés to relaxed (yet no less tasty) food stalls set up in a sprawling garden.

Social Pantry

Dubbed London’s top sustainable wedding caterer, Social Pantry’s motto is to ‘deliver extraordinary food while creating meaningful change.’ Seasonal ingredients and zero-waste food options are the stars of the menu – served up as a traditional dinner, theatrical live cooking demonstrations and even creative food stations (where your guests can get stuck in too).
