Wedding Catering in London and the UK
Your wedding is one of the few days you will remember for the rest of your life, and the food is one of the things your guests remember most. We are a London based Italian family, and we put a great deal of care into the food, the service and the small details that make the day feel effortless.
From the first enquiry to the final cleardown you deal with people who know your wedding, never a call centre. We are happy to visit your venue with you beforehand, so we understand the space, the timings and the practicalities, and design a service that truly fits the day.
Most weddings follow a familiar rhythm: a canapé reception while photos are taken, the wedding feast, then late-night food when the dancing starts. We cater every part of it, and everything below can be mixed to suit your day.
A wedding is a day you remember forever. We take that responsibility seriously, quietly making it work from the first canapé to the final toast.
Everything we cater for your wedding day
The drinks reception
Six to eight canapés per guest with chilled Prosecco or Champagne while photographs are taken, passed by our team. Allow forty five minutes to an hour.
Bowl food and finger food
For a longer reception or in place of a starter, small bowls and finger food specials such as sliders, chicken fajita wraps and mini fish and chips cones.
The wedding feast
The main meal, your way: plated sit-down, family-style sharing, a generous buffet or a live BBQ, detailed in the four formats below.
The evening
Late-night street food when the dance floor needs it: Roman-style pizzas, dirty burgers, fish and chips and fresh pasta bowls.
The mobile bar
Cocktails, prosecco and soft drinks from our mobile bar, poured by professional bartenders alongside the catering.
Your team for the day
Trained chefs to finish the food on site, waiters for service, bartenders for the drinks and a senior lead coordinating it all, scaled to your guest count.
A wedding is a day you remember forever. We take that responsibility seriously, quietly making it work from the first canapé to the final toast.
A family-run Italian kitchen with over 30 years of experience, every dish made fresh, never assembled from a catalogue.
More than 1,000 events catered across London and the UK, trusted by teams at Amazon, Meta, Google and Octopus Energy.
