Planner's guide

Best For: Corporate lunch events and business functions; Wedding receptions and celebration dinners; Private parties and intimate gatherings; Community events and larger group occasions

What planners usually like:

  • Extended operating hours (9 AM–7 PM daily) provide flexibility for consultations and event coordination across your planning timeline
  • Willingness to discuss customized menus and arrangements suggests adaptability to different event themes, dietary requirements, and guest counts
  • Local London-based operations mean shorter lead times for site visits, tastings, and service delivery logistics
  • Direct contact availability allows planners to communicate preferences clearly and build working relationships before committing

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm whether pricing is per-person, per-dish, or based on full event packages, and request written quotes for your specific guest count and menu selections
  • Ask about minimum guest counts, event size limitations, and whether they service both on-site and off-site locations across London
  • Discuss staffing options—whether service includes servers, bartenders, setup/breakdown, and what happens if your event runs longer than initially planned
  • Verify their cancellation policy, deposit requirements, and timeline for finalizing menus and specific dietary accommodation details

Common questions

How far in advance should I book Taverna Catering, and do they have availability year-round?

While advance notice is typically recommended for catering services in London, contacting them directly at +44 330 133 6239 will clarify their current availability and minimum booking windows. Given their seven-day operation, they may accommodate both short-notice and planned events, though peak seasons (summer and December) often require earlier confirmation.

Can Taverna Catering accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?

Most professional catering services work with clients to address dietary needs, but you'll need to discuss specific requirements—vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal—when requesting your quote. Provide a detailed breakdown of guest dietary needs during your initial conversation to ensure they can safely deliver customized menus.

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

The description mentions coordinating catering arrangements, but specific inclusions (staffing, equipment, tableware, bar service) require direct contact. Ask whether your quoted price covers delivery, setup, staff uniforms, clearing, and whether gratuity is included or added separately.

Do they offer tastings before finalizing menu selections?

Many London catering companies offer pre-event tastings for larger bookings, though this depends on their specific policies and your event size. Request this during your consultation—tastings help ensure the menu matches your vision and allow you to verify quality firsthand.

Are there additional charges I should expect beyond the initial quote?

Beyond the base catering cost, clarify whether service charges, delivery fees, setup costs, equipment rental, or staff gratuity are included or added separately. Request an itemized quote to avoid budget surprises, and confirm what happens if your final headcount changes close to the event date.

Can they work with other vendors (florists, photographers, venues) on my event day?

Professional catering teams typically coordinate with other vendors, but confirm Taverna Catering's experience with your specific venue and whether they've worked with your other suppliers. Understanding their communication style and flexibility helps ensure smooth day-of coordination.
