Catering That Turns an Office Day Into an Event

A pop-up is catering with the kitchen brought to you: our chefs arrive, set up a live station at your venue and cook in front of your guests. The smell of the chargrill does the marketing for us.

London offices book our pop-ups for the days that matter: pancake stations for Pancake Day at Faculty AI, Halloween menus for Bolt, Wise and Kraken, and Mediterranean BBQs for summer socials. Most pop-ups can be booked online with three working days' notice.

FAQs

Pop-Up Catering Questions, Answered

What is pop-up catering?

A pop-up is a live food experience at your venue: our chefs bring the kitchen to you, set up a station and cook in front of your guests, from chargrilled BBQ skewers to pancakes flipped to order.

Which pop-ups can we book?

Mediterranean BBQs, pancake and dessert stations, build-your-own burrito bars, Greek street food, falafel stations, grazing tables, mulled wine carts and staffed bars. Seasonal specials include Christmas dinners, Halloween menus and Iftar pop-ups.

How much notice do you need for a pop-up?

Three working days for most pop-ups, booked online or by enquiry. Bespoke experiences and large events are best arranged earlier so we can plan the station and staffing properly.

How many guests do pop-ups work for?

Most pop-ups are designed for 50 guests and upwards, and we regularly serve several hundred at a single event. Tell us your numbers and we will scale the station and chefs to match.

What space do you need at our office?

Less than you might think. We assess your space when you book and bring everything with us. Kitchens are not required, and we run pop-ups in office breakout areas, rooftops, gardens and event spaces.

How is pop-up catering priced?

Per person, with pricing shown on each bookable pop-up in our online collection. Bespoke pop-ups are quoted individually based on the menu, guest numbers and staffing.

Do you cover dietary requirements at pop-ups?

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, halal and gluten free options are built into every station, prepared in our 5 Star Food Hygiene approved kitchen, with allergens labelled at the station.

Can a pop-up be part of a bigger event?

Absolutely. Pop-ups work brilliantly alongside full event catering, as evening food at weddings or as the centrepiece of a company celebration. See our event catering London service for the full picture.
