Amanda fitted my event in at relatively short notice and helped with the food choices. They arrived in good time on the day to set up the van. The food was served promptly and all the guests said how nice it was. I would definitely use them again!

I can't recommend Andy and his team enough, not only was their set up great and everybody so lovely...The food was 10/10. Everybody was raving about it at our wedding! The quality and variety exceeded what comes to mind when you think of a BBQ and the price for catering a wedding was unbeatable. The service was fast and efficient without compromising on quality and the relaxed vibe made it perfect for our guests to pick when and what they wanted to eat. They catered for vegetarians and gluten free and everybody was happy and stuffed! Andy was always pleasant and easy to communicate with leading up to our wedding too and we felt totally confident in having them as our wedding caterers. Thanks again ♥️

Genuinely the best pizza we’ve ever had! Perfectly smokey, crispy and tasty.
Our 60 guests were so impressed and are still raving about them. One guest was gluten free and we didn’t know, yet Pizza Wisdom came prepared with some gluten free options and made her a whole one, bless them.
The options were great and some of the guests challenged them to make super spicy ones- which went down a treat.
They set a table up and continued to make various pizzas consistently so no one was queuing or waiting. It was excellently planned by the team!
They personalised a pizza box with a message for the birthday VIP which was so sweet.
Tiegan and Nick were so lovely and caring for us. They even ensured I had a whole pizza on the side for me as I was busy running around playing hostess!
Would highly recommend and this company deserve every penny they make. Beautiful website also to check out more about them & contact.
Thanks so much guys ☺️Will see you again!

Chef Eugen was great! Very responsive, on time, good was more than we expected, and I think the macarons came free (and was very delicious!)

Arrived in good time to set up, very friendly and exceptionally fresh noodle dishes, the ingredients really stood out and everything was cooked fresh to order. Would definitely use Ninja again!

Delicious food, beautifully presented. Some extra jam for the scones would have been appreciated - not quite enough. Arrived on time. Enjoyed by adults and children alike. Would highly recommend and will probably use again.
We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies
We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Your Guide to Hiring Christmas Catering in London
Hiring a professional caterer for your festive event can completely transform your holiday experience. First of all, it saves a huge amount of time during the busiest season of the year, no need to spend days planning, prepping, and cooking. Instead, you can focus on what really matters: enjoying the moment with friends, family, or colleagues.
Catering also helps impress your guests with restaurant-quality food, prepared by experienced chefs who know how to present festive dishes in a visually stunning way. Menus can be fully tailored to suit your preferences and accommodate any dietary requirements, from vegan options to gluten-free needs. Add to that professional service, festive tableware, and seasonal presentation, and you've got a seamless, stress-free celebration.
Types of Christmas Catering
Whether you’re hosting a cosy family meal or a grand office party, there’s a wide variety of catering styles available through Poptop to suit your event:
-
Traditional Christmas dinner: Think roast turkey with all the trimmings, buttery mashed potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, seasonal veggies, cranberry sauce, and a generous helping of gravy. Don’t forget the Christmas pudding or mince pies to finish.
-
Buffet-style catering: Ideal for informal office parties and house gatherings. Guests can graze at their own pace, and you can offer a wide range of savoury and sweet dishes to suit everyone.
-
Grazing tables or sharing boards: Visually impressive and packed with artisan meats, cheeses, breads, fruits, and seasonal treats. These setups encourage social interaction and feel luxuriously indulgent.
-
Canapés & finger food: Perfect for standing events or drinks receptions. Bite-sized festive creations add elegance and are easy to serve, requiring minimal space and setup.
-
Festive afternoon teas: A charming option for midday gatherings. Think cranberry scones, turkey finger sandwiches, and mini Yule logs served with tea, fizz, or mulled wine.
-
Street food stalls: A hit at winter markets and large events. From Christmas-themed burgers and bratwurst to festive crepes and mulled wine carts, these bring a warm, energetic vibe to any outdoor celebration.
No matter your event size or format, you’ll find catering options that fit your vision, and the full spectrum of Christmas catering London has to offer.
Popular Christmas Events in London for Catering
Christmas catering in London suits a wide range of festive events. Corporate holiday parties are a major driver, with many companies choosing to treat their teams to catered meals in offices or stylish venues across the city. Groups of friends also gather for "Friendsmas" — a relaxed and often more fun celebration in the run-up to Christmas Day made better with easy catering. Families embrace catering for Christmas Eve or Day itself, easing the pressure and bringing a sense of occasion to the table.
