At The London Kitchen, we understand that in the world of event planning, last-minute decisions are sometimes unavoidable. Whether you’ve been let down by another caterer or simply had a slip in your planning, we are here to ensure your event goes off without a hitch—no matter how close to the date.
Why Choose The London Kitchen for Last-Minute Bookings?
As a versatile caterer, The London Kitchen has extensive experience in providing catering solutions for a range of events, from grand banquets for over 300 guests to bowl food service for up to 2,000. We are trusted by event planners, corporate clients, and wedding organisers alike to deliver high-quality catering tailored to the specific needs of each event. Whether you are planning an intimate private event, a corporate reception or a large scale wedding, The London Kitchen is your go-to event catering partner.
Our team is known for exceptional flexibility—we believe in making things work, even when the clock is ticking down. We offer full-service solutions, including venue finding, event theming, and third-party services such as AV or décor, to ensure your event is seamless from start to finish.
How Does The London Kitchen Handle Last-Minute Bookings?
If you find yourself in need of a caterer on short notice, give us a call. After discussing your requirements, we will begin crafting a tailored menu for your event. Our team works quickly—within hours of your initial call, we can send over your custom menu for approval, and we are often able to take bookings as soon as 48 hours in advance.
While we pride ourselves on accommodating last-minute bookings, we do recommend getting in touch as soon as possible for the best availability, especially for larger events, as we cater to over 500 events per year across London.
Dietary Requirements & Last-Minute Changes
We understand that dietary preferences and allergies are a top priority. If you have any specific dietary needs, such as vegan, gluten-free, or vegetarian requirements, the earlier we know, the better. However, we also recognise that last-minute changes are sometimes inevitable, and we always do our best to accommodate these needs on the fly.
For example, if a severe nut allergy is discovered too late in the process, we may need to adjust the menu, and we could bring in sealed meals prepared safely outside of the kitchen environment to ensure the event is allergy-free. Similarly, for religious dietary needs, such as kosher meals, we can ensure these meals are separately prepared and delivered in line with specific requirements.
Our goal is to ensure no guest is left behind, and we aim to always offer a solution, even when the request comes at the last minute.
Pricing & Tailored Solutions
When working on short timelines, we make sure pricing is clear upfront, and we always strive to work with your budget. We can adjust the menu to suit your financial needs or come up with a completely customised option based on your specifications.
At The London Kitchen, we’ve created magnificent banquets for 300 guests in just a week and pulled together bowl food for 500 guests with only 48 hours’ notice. We understand the pressure that comes with last-minute planning, and we are here to help ease that stress with top-tier catering, no matter the timeline.
