There’s a certain magic to an outdoor event in London, isn't there? When the sun decides to grace us with its presence, the city’s green spaces, hidden courtyards, and sky-high terraces come alive. Whether it's the gentle clinking of glasses at a summer wedding or the buzz of a corporate away day, an outdoor setting adds a special ingredient that you just can't replicate indoors.
But let's be honest, the true heart of any great gathering is the food. Great food turns a good party into an unforgettable one. And when you're planning an event under the open sky, the catering needs to be more than just delicious; it needs to be smart, stylish, and perfectly suited to the setting.
As event professionals with years of experience in the London party scene, we’ve seen it all. We know that organising outdoor catering can feel like a daunting task. You're not just booking a menu; you're coordinating logistics in a space that probably wasn't designed to be a kitchen. But don't you worry. We're here to guide you through it, making the process not just simple, but genuinely enjoyable.
First things first, where is this magnificent al fresco affair taking place? London is packed with a surprising number of brilliant outdoor venues, each with its own unique character. The right caterer will know how to make the most of your chosen location.
Choosing your venue is the first big step. Once you have an idea of the space, you can start thinking about the fun part: the food.
Forget soggy sandwiches and a flask of tea. Outdoor catering in London is a vibrant, creative scene with options to suit any taste and theme. The key is to choose a style that complements your event and is practical for an outdoor setting.
Ah, the budget. It’s the question on everyone’s mind, and rightly so. In London, you can expect to pay anywhere from £14 to £35 per person for quality outdoor catering. So, what does that get you?
At the lower end of the scale, around £14–£20 per head, you can find fantastic single-option services like a gourmet pizza van, a top-tier burger stand, or a hog roast. This is perfect for casual, high-volume events where you want one thing done exceptionally well.
As you move into the £20–£35+ per head range, your options expand significantly. This can cover multi-course BBQ menus, elaborate buffets, street food market-style setups with several options, or sophisticated canapé receptions. This price point will generally include more staff, more complex logistics, and a wider variety of food.
Booking the food is one thing, but making sure it all runs smoothly on the day is another. This is where a bit of professional insight comes in handy. Using a trusted platform to find your suppliers takes away a huge amount of the stress, connecting you with vetted professionals who know exactly what they’re doing. Here’s how we make it a walk in the park.
You shouldn't need a degree in event management to plan a brilliant party. We believe the process should be simple and intuitive. Our platform is designed for exactly that. All you need to do is enter your event date, guest numbers, and a London postcode. Instantly, you’ll see a curated list of fantastic caterers and services that are available and perfectly suited to your needs. No more endless searching, no more dead-end enquiries.
Your time is precious, and waiting around for quotes is a drag. We’ve done away with that. On Poptop, you get instant, all-inclusive pricing, so you know exactly where you stand from the very beginning. You can compare options, check availability, and make decisions right away. Our suppliers and dedicated support team are known for their speedy responses, meaning your planning process is swift, smooth, and entirely hassle-free.
Forget having twenty tabs open as you try to coordinate a caterer from one site and a mobile bar from another. Poptop is a one-stop shop for all your event needs. Whether you're just looking for that perfect street food van to complete your party, or you need to organise everything from the food and drink to the entertainment, you can find it all right here. It’s the smarter, more efficient way to plan.
Your event should be a reflection of you. A generic, off-the-shelf package just won't do. Our suppliers are experts at tailoring their offerings to bring your vision to life. Want to adapt a menu for dietary requirements? No problem. Need a custom cocktail named after the guest of honour? Consider it done. This incredible flexibility ensures the final experience is personal, memorable, and exactly what you hoped for.
If you want to create a celebration that your guests will be talking about for years to come, you need something a little different. Poptop specialises in extraordinary services that go way beyond the standard fare. From unique food trucks to spectacular live cooking displays, we help you find those special touches that surprise your guests and create a truly memorable atmosphere.
We believe that great service is about more than just efficiency; it’s about people. Our suppliers are hand-picked not only for their skill but for their ability to create a warm and engaging atmosphere. You get more than just a caterer; you get a friendly face who connects with your guests, ensuring everyone feels welcome. It’s this human touch that transforms a great event into a truly happy one.
Wondering if your caterer will turn up? Stressing about the details? Not with us. We ensure you receive clear communication and regular updates at every stage. Knowing exactly what’s happening and when gives you the confidence to relax and actually look forward to your celebration. Leave the logistics to the professionals so you can focus on being the host.
Your peace of mind is our top priority. We thoroughly vet every single supplier on our platform, so you can trust that you're booking a reliable and high-quality professional. In the unlikely event of an issue, we guarantee to find you a suitable alternative. Paired with our money-back guarantee, you can book with total confidence, knowing your event and your investment are completely protected.
