Live Food Stations

Bring the cooking to your event — shawarma carved from the spit, charcoal BBQ, and whole roast lamb. Chef-attended, 100% halal.

Enquire about a live station

Guests remember two things about an event: how they felt, and the food. Live stations deliver both — the sizzle, the aroma, the chef’s welcome. It’s what we’ve built our name on over 20 years catering across London.
