Do you cater for other styles of events?

Of course we do! There are too many different styles of events to list on one website. Send us some information on your ideas and we can tell you how we can help turn them into reality. Whether it's grazing tables, standing bowl food, multi-course dinners, sharing feasts, conferences, or a BBQ for your employees at your home, we can cater for them!

Can we provide staff for our events?

Yes! We discuss with you what you need from us (as well as the food and drinks of course) and go from there. Bartenders, waiters, kitchen staff—you name it, we can help. If your event needs staff to work, we can provide professional front-of-house staff, event managers, chefs, and bartenders for full-service events.

Do we have to use Tasting Plates for everything?

No, not at all. We work with you to adapt our service to your requirements. If your event is sponsored and already has the bar sorted, we can slot in where you need us and bring fantastic food and staff to serve it. Or the other way around.

Can Tasting Plates cater at dry hire venues with no kitchens?

Yes. Of course! Tasting Plates can build fully self-sufficient mobile kitchens, bringing induction equipment, mobile ovens, refrigeration, and prep tables to raw spaces, warehouses, private residences, and marquees. We can operate anywhere with or without power and adapt the menu to suit what is possible.

What geographical areas do you cover?

Anywhere we are needed anywhere in the world. We are up to travel and for the challenge! But more specifically - London-wide coverage (Central, West, North, East, South) plus the Home Counties (Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, and Oxfordshire).

Can our menus be customised?

Menus on our website are representative seasonal samples. All event menus are bespoke and tailored to client preferences, seasonal produce, and dietary requirements. It is your event and we want to make sure it's exactly how you picture it.

Do we offer tastings?

Yes absolutely. Paid menu tastings are available prior to booking confirmation, giving clients complete confidence in menu selection. Or if you book with us a tasting will be included as part of the package.

Do you provide drop-off catering without waiting staff?

We certainly can, yes. We offer pre-ordered ready-to-serve canapé platters and luxury picnics/hampers with chilled delivery across London (subject to our £500 + VAT minimum spend).

Can we help with hire orders?

Of course. We work with some great hire companies that have vast stocks of equipment that bring your design ideas to life.

How much notice do we need?

Not as much as you would think. Lead times depend on scale. Corporate bookings can often be accommodated from as little as 3 days. While weddings and larger events typically require a bit more notice. It is always worth enquiring to find out though!
