PART 1: PLANNER INSIGHT

Best For: Corporate lunch meetings and office events, Wedding receptions and formal celebrations, Private dinner parties and intimate gatherings, Conference catering and multi-day events

What planners usually like:

  • Seven-day availability means flexibility for weekday corporate events, weekend celebrations, and last-minute bookings without the typical Monday-Friday constraints
  • Central Silver Street location in London provides reasonable accessibility for deliveries and on-site service coordination across the capital
  • Direct contact approach allows planners to discuss custom requirements and negotiate packages tailored to specific guest counts and dietary needs
  • Responsive communication during business hours helps streamline the quote-to-booking process without lengthy email chains

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm whether pricing includes service staff, equipment rental (tables, linens, serving utensils), and setup/breakdown, as these significantly impact total event cost
  • Establish minimum guest count requirements and whether they accommodate smaller gatherings or have tiered pricing for different group sizes
  • Verify dietary accommodation capabilities including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and religious dietary requirements to ensure all guests are catered for
  • Clarify delivery radius and whether there are additional fees for venues outside central London, as this affects feasibility for events in outer boroughs

Common questions

What event sizes does Simply Catering typically handle?

Contact them directly at +44 20 8374 5542 to discuss your specific guest count, as catering services often have minimum and maximum capacity requirements that vary by event type. They can advise whether your party size fits their operational capabilities and adjust pricing accordingly.

Can Simply Catering accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?

Most professional catering services in London can handle common dietary needs including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. When you contact them, provide a detailed list of dietary requirements so they can confirm capability and plan appropriate menu alternatives without cross-contamination risks.

Are there additional charges for events in outer London areas?

Delivery fees and travel time charges vary by distance from their Silver Street location. Clarify your venue postcode when requesting a quote to understand whether delivery costs, setup charges, or mileage fees apply to your specific event location.

What's included in their catering packages—just food or also service and equipment?

This requires direct clarification, as some caterers include wait staff, bar service, and equipment rental while others provide food only. Ask specifically about staffing levels, equipment provision, and whether setup/breakdown are included or charged separately.

How far in advance should we book, and do they offer short-notice catering?

Seven-day operating hours suggest some flexibility, but professional catering typically requires 1-4 weeks' notice depending on guest count and menu complexity. Contact them early to confirm availability for your desired date and whether they accommodate rush bookings.

Do they provide menu tasting sessions before finalizing orders?

Many London caterers offer tastings for larger events, though this may depend on group size and timing. Ask whether tastings are complimentary, how many people can attend, and whether they're required before booking or optional.
