Why choose DOM Catering for your event?
We combine creative food with careful planning and reliable event logistics, helping every part of your catering service run smoothly.
Bespoke menus for your event
Your menu is designed around the occasion, service style, season and preferences of your guests rather than selected from a rigid package list.
Creative food and artistic presentation
We develop interesting flavour combinations and present every dish thoughtfully, from individual canapés to buffets, grazing displays and multi-course dinners.
Full-service event management
Our team can coordinate menu planning, delivery, venue logistics, chefs, waiting staff, drinks, equipment, setup, service and clear-down.
Dietary requirements managed carefully
We can prepare vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and other suitable menu options. Dietary information is gathered before the event, communicated to the kitchen and clearly displayed during service.
Please discuss serious allergies with us directly. Although we follow appropriate food-safety and cross-contamination procedures, we cannot guarantee an entirely allergen-free preparation environment.
Sustainable and responsible service
We prioritise seasonal produce, responsible suppliers, careful portion planning, minimal waste and reusable or environmentally responsible packaging wherever possible.
Experienced service team
Our professional chefs, waiting staff, bartenders and event team work together to maintain the agreed timings and deliver a smooth service for your guests.
Trusted across London
DOM Catering provides event catering for corporate organisations, private clients and venues throughout London, from intimate dinners and office celebrations to large receptions and launches.
Genuine London experience
We understand venue access, loading restrictions, limited preparation space, strict setup windows and the logistical demands of London events.
Event catering formats and dining styles
Different occasions require different styles of food and service. We’ll help you choose the right format based on your event schedule, venue, guest numbers and budget.
Canapés and cocktail receptions
Refined one- or two-bite dishes designed for networking events, product launches, openings and drinks receptions.
Choose from cold, hot and dessert canapés, presented on serving trays or arranged as a display. Professional waiting staff, drinks and bar service can also be provided.
Multi-course plated dining
Formal seated dining for weddings, gala dinners, award ceremonies, client entertainment and private celebrations.
We can provide seasonal multi-course menus, chefs, waiting staff, tableware, drinks service and coordination with your venue.
Hot and cold buffets
Flexible buffet catering for corporate lunches, conferences, birthdays and informal celebrations.
Menus can include seasonal mains, salads, vegetables, side dishes, breads and desserts, with delivery, setup, buffet equipment and service staff available.
Sharing platters and grazing tables
Generous food displays designed to encourage relaxed, social dining.
Choose from cheeses, cured meats, vegetables, dips, breads, fruit, salads and freshly prepared bites. Our team can deliver and arrange everything before your guests arrive.
Food stations and live cooking
Chef-led food stations can add an interactive element to launches, parties and larger events.
Depending on the venue and facilities, we can create themed counters, freshly finished dishes and live-cooking experiences tailored to your event.
Bowl food and substantial finger food
Small, individually served dishes that offer something more substantial than traditional canapés without requiring a formal seated meal.
Bowl food works particularly well for longer receptions, networking events and occasions where guests are standing or moving around the venue.
Dessert tables and late-night food
Complete your event with dessert canapés, petit fours, seasonal sweets or more substantial late-night food.
We can combine these with your main catering package or create a separate evening service.
Sustainable sourcing and inclusive menus
We believe excellent event catering should be both responsible and welcoming to guests with different dietary needs.
Seasonal and responsible sourcing
We prioritise seasonal ingredients and work with responsible suppliers wherever practical. Our menus are planned around quality, availability and the requirements of each event.
Dietary menu options
Menus can include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and halal options. We aim to integrate dietary alternatives thoughtfully so that every guest receives food of the same standard.
Reduced-waste planning
We use careful portion planning to reduce unnecessary food waste and can provide reusable or environmentally responsible servingware and packaging, depending on the event format.
Clear dietary communication
Dietary requirements are gathered in advance, communicated to the kitchen and clearly identified during service.
Serious allergies must always be discussed with us directly before confirming the booking.
Frequently asked questions about event catering in London
Q: What types of event catering do you offer?
A: We offer everything from delivery-only food orders to complete, fully staffed event catering.
Our services include breakfasts, lunches, canapés, finger food, bowl food, hot and cold buffets, grazing tables, food stations, seated meals and desserts.
Depending on your requirements, we can also provide chefs, waiting staff, bartenders, drinks, equipment, setup, event service and clear-down.
Q: How much does event catering in London cost?
A: Our catering options start from £10 per person. Full-service events are quoted individually according to the menu, guest numbers, staffing, equipment, venue, location and service time.
Our minimum food spend is £350. This applies before additional charges for delivery, staffing, equipment, drinks, setup, service, travel or other event requirements.
Q: Is there a minimum order?
A: Yes. Our minimum food spend is £350.
Delivery, staffing, equipment, drinks, setup and other services are priced separately where required. Send us your event date, location and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we can accommodate your booking.
Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: For straightforward delivered catering, three to five days’ notice is helpful, although we will try to accommodate shorter-notice requests where possible.
For larger or fully serviced corporate and private events, we recommend booking four to twelve weeks in advance. Weddings, galas and major events may require two to six months’ notice, particularly during busy periods.
Q: What information do you need to prepare a quotation?
A: Please provide:
- Event date
- Venue or postcode
- Estimated guest numbers
- Event timings
- Type of occasion
- Preferred catering style
- Dietary requirements
- Approximate budget
- Whether you require delivery, setup, staff, drinks or equipment
The more information you provide, the more accurately we can recommend a menu and prepare your quotation.
Q: Do you provide waiting staff, chefs and bar service?
A: Yes. We can provide professional waiting staff, chefs, bartenders, baristas and event support staff.
We will recommend appropriate staffing numbers based on your guest count, menu, service style, venue and event schedule.
Q: Can you provide catering equipment?
A: Yes. Depending on your event, we can provide crockery, cutlery, glassware, linen, serving trays, display stands, buffet equipment and other service items.
Equipment requirements and costs will be clearly set out in your quotation.
Q: Can you accommodate several dietary requirements at the same event?
A: Yes. We can prepare suitable options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and other dietary requirements.
Dishes can be clearly labelled during service. Please provide complete information about serious allergies in advance so we can assess what can be prepared safely.
We cannot guarantee an entirely allergen-free kitchen.
Q: How many canapés should I order per person?
A: For a one-hour reception, five to six canapés per guest is usually appropriate.
For a longer reception or when canapés are replacing a meal, eight to ten or more pieces per guest may be required. Bowl food or substantial finger food can also be added.
We’ll recommend quantities based on the duration, time of day, other food being served and your guest profile.
Q: Do you coordinate directly with event venues?
A: Yes. Where required, we can communicate with venue managers and event planners regarding access, loading, preparation space, kitchen facilities, setup, service schedules and clear-down requirements.
We can also coordinate catering timings with other suppliers where this is necessary for the service.
Q: Can you cater at a venue without a kitchen?
A: Often, yes. The appropriate solution depends on the menu, guest numbers, venue access, available power, water and preparation space.
We may adapt the menu, bring suitable equipment or complete more preparation off-site. Tell us about the venue facilities when requesting your quotation.
Q: Which areas of London and the surrounding areas do you cover?
A: We provide event catering throughout Greater London and can travel to selected locations in the Home Counties.
Areas we regularly cover but we are not limited to, include:

Delivery, travel and staffing costs depend on the venue location, access arrangements, schedule and size of the event.
