About Route Catering
We are a London catering company cooking Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food, fresh every morning, for offices, corporate events, festivals and weddings across the capital.
Our story
Good Food at Work Should Be Something to Look Forward To
Route Catering started life as a small café in Hackney with a simple idea: the food people eat at work should be as good as the food they would choose for themselves.
That idea grew into a dedicated corporate catering kitchen in London. Today we feed teams at Nike, Amazon, Google, J.P. Morgan and Salesforce, alongside universities such as UCL, Imperial and King's College London, and more than 500 London businesses in total.
Our cooking is rooted in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food: grills, mezze, fresh salads, grains and bakes, made from scratch and seasoned properly. From a breakfast meeting for ten to a wedding for more than a thousand guests, the standard stays the same.
