Quick answer
Corporate catering in London typically costs £10–£20 per person for delivered working lunches and £18–£30 per person for hot, staffed team meals. Lebanese mezze is ideal for the office — it is shareable, generous, and covers vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and halal diets in one order, so nobody is left out. Book midweek and confirm numbers early to keep costs down.
Feeding a team well is one of the simplest ways to make people feel valued. Whether it is a board lunch, a client pitch, a team celebration or an all-staff away day, food sets the tone. After 20+ years catering across London, we have learned what works in an office setting — and how to keep it easy on the budget and the diary. Here is the practical guide.
What to order for the office
- Working lunch: mezze platters, wraps, salads and pastries — easy to eat at a desk or in a meeting.
- Team celebration: a hot buffet of grilled meats, rice and dips.
- Client event: a grazing table or live shawarma station to impress.
- Breakfast meetings: pastries, fruit and labneh to start the day.

One order that covers every diet
Modern teams are diverse, and dietary requirements matter. The beauty of Lebanese food is that a single order is naturally halal and covers vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free colleagues in the same spread — no separate suppliers, no awkward “special” boxes. We explain how in our guide to inclusive Lebanese catering. It is inclusion that feels generous rather than tokenistic, which is exactly what you want when you are hosting clients or looking after staff.
Save money without cutting quality
Book midweek — Tuesday to Thursday services are often in less demand than a Friday. Order a shared mezze buffet rather than individual boxes, which is more generous per pound and less wasteful. Confirm numbers early so nothing is over-ordered, and consolidate to one caterer for the whole team rather than juggling several. A single Lebanese order covering every dietary need is usually cheaper than assembling separate options.
Delivery across London
We deliver to offices across London and beyond, with delivery priced by distance from our kitchen so you only pay for what your location needs. For regular team lunches we can set up a recurring order so it is one less thing to organise each week.
Impressing clients vs. feeding the team
The right choice depends on the occasion. To impress clients, presentation matters most — a grazing table or a live shawarma station turns a meeting into an experience and signals that you have made an effort. To look after the team, generosity and ease matter more — a shared hot buffet or platter lunch that everyone can dig into, covering every diet, does the job beautifully. Tell us the occasion and the impression you want to make, and we will shape the menu to match.
