Our Contract Catering Services

Whatever your facilities, headcount or dining goals, we offer three contract catering models built for flexibility and quality.

In-House

If your workplace has its own kitchen facilities, our In-House service is the gold standard of workplace dining.

We provide a dedicated chef and front-of-house team to run a complete food programme on site—breakfast, lunch, snacks, meetings, events and more.

Styled & Served

Perfect for workplaces without a full kitchen.

We prepare food in our London kitchen and deliver it to your office, where our team sets up and serves your employees with the elegance of a restaurant experience.

Drop Off

Our most flexible and cost-effective contract catering model.

We prepare your food in our London kitchen and deliver it directly to your workplace—ready for your team to serve themselves.

In-House Contract Catering

Our signature dish. With In-House catering, Social Pantry moves in! We build a team for your business, including your very own dedicated chef and front of house team, to run your workplace catering and take care of every last crumb. Everything is prepared on site, offering unbeatable freshness, flexibility and creative freedom.

What’s Included

In short? Everything. With our In House catering option, we really do take care of every aspect of the service, from preparing, cooking and serving the food, to the post-meal clean-up.

We move into your on-site kitchen and make it our home – from here, our chefs will create exceptional meals, our servers will ensure the smoothest service for your team and our kitchen porters will sort the dirty dishes!

What You Need

All we need from you is a kitchen to prepare the food in, and somewhere to serve. Ideally, your kitchen will be equipped with hobs and an oven as well as a dishwasher or sink for washing up. If these provisions are not already in place, our operations team can work with you to build the perfect catering kitchen that will be capable of serving your office well into the future.

We’ve cooked in all kinds of workplace kitchens throughout the years. With hot food served in chafing dishes, to self-serve cold buffets and even alfresco barbecue stations… we’ve catered it all! Speak with our contract catering team today to discover how we can cater to what your business cares about.

Why Our Customers Like It

Our In-House catering is the most convenient workplace catering option for you and your business. Why? Because we really do take care of it all. Once we know exactly what kind of catering you’re after, we’ll make it happen. We’ll move a dedicated Social Pantry team into your building to take care of everything from the preparation and cooking of your meals to the plating, the serving, and the clean-up. That means you’ll be fed seasonal, delicious and stylishly-presented food without having to lift a finger (…just a fork!)

Styled & Served Contract Catering

Our Styled and Served option is best if you don’t have a kitchen (or space to prepare food) in the building. We’ll fully prepare your food at Social Pantry HQ, then safely deliver it to your workplace in beautiful ceramic bowls and platters, ready to be set up as a styled food station by our front of house team. Using crockery means you’re ticking the box for sustainable catering too as we can wash and reuse for your next catering date.

What’s Included

With our Styled and Served option, you’ll receive your food prepared and ready to serve immediately. We’ll discuss with you how many front of house team members you’ll require on the day, as they will be on hand to present the food ready for service, as well as serving your team and replenishing dishes throughout service. We’ll also be able to provide all the serveware, glassware, cutlery, napkins and anything else you require for a seamless service. Depending on the food service you require, we’ll talk through whether a chef is required onsite.

What You Need

All you’ll need is somewhere to place the food upon arrival. We can arrange to deliver disposable cutlery and napkins – just speak with your contract catering partner to arrange this.

Why Our Customers Like It

Our Drop Off option is great for businesses who are still looking for the same delicious, exciting and sustainably-made seasonal dishes that Social Pantry is known for, but without the need for kitchen, staff, or a dedicated dining space. It provides businesses with flexibility to serve the food at a convenient time for them, even allowing team members to ‘grab and go’ individual lunches if they need to.

Drop Off Contract Catering

For teams that like to keep it simple, our Drop Off service is exactly what it sounds like – your food is fully prepared at Social Pantry HQ, then arrives at your workplace, boxed up in eco-friendly, biodegradable packaging, just in time for service.

What’s Included

With our Drop Off service, you get the same fresh, delicious seasonal food that Social Pantry is known for, only it’s packaged up into eco-friendly boxes, ready to hand out to employees. We can either individually package up salad boxes, sandwiches and bento boxes for employees to help themselves, or, alternatively, we can provide disposable platter boxes that allow teams to pick and choose from a variety of options.

Monthly Customisable Menus

Our monthly-changing workplace menus are designed with variety in mind, and we always cover a diverse range of tastes – as well as dietary and cultural preferences – in our dishes.

With sustainability at the heart of what we do, our dishes are plant-rich and many are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. For any dishes that do contain meat, fish and dairy, this has been responsibly sourced. 

As always, our menus are a guide and can be tweaked and tailored to the needs of your business. Whether you need more plant-based, allergen-free or halal options, just let us know and our chefs can create a menu that will accommodate everyone. 

Looking for something totally different? We are happy to go ‘off-menu’ to provide something bespoke for your business – just chat to one of our dedicated contract catering partners about what you’re after.

From considered menus built around local, hyper-seasonal ingredients to behind-the-scenes practices you may not have accounted for, we’ll help strengthen your sustainability credentials and support your wider environmental goals.
