The London Kitchen is highly recommended. We had to cancel an indoor restaurant booking for my wife’s significant birthday event because of Covid restrictions and quickly needed to replace it with an outdoor event for 14 people (in our own small garden). I sent an SOS to a handful of caterers and Damian at TLK was the first to respond. Within a day or so he was round at our house to size up the space and the possibilities. Quite literally going the extra mile(s)! No one else offered to do that.
We then agreed menus and on the day itself Damian arrived 2-3 hours before kick-off with Paul, who

Incredible service from Damian and the London Kitchen team.
Damian rescued us and catered at 120 guest wedding with 8 days notice. From the moment we spoke with him he put us at ease and we immediately felt in extremely capable hands. Professional, kind, knowledgable and caring he’s a gent and a hero.
The food was a total hit and exactly what we wanted. Thiago and the bar team were phenomenal keeping 120 thirsty guests well looked after on one of the hottest days of the year.
Would highly recommend.

I have had the pleasure of working with Damian Clarkson for 30 years and with the London Kitchen since inception. They are without doubt the best and most professional catering company I have ever dealt with. … Damian is very hands on and has a "can do", positive attitude that ripples throughout his hardworking team. The food is outstanding too.

The London Kitchen is a business built on more than two decades of experience organising top end events from a private dinner for four to events catering for several hundred guests. Damian and his team work with energy, enthusiasm and immense creativity to deliver success for their clients and their guests. I was always impressed how well Damian looked after and rewarded his staff, which the long service of the core team is testament to.

Damian Clarkson and his able staff provide unparalleled professionalism.
A decade ago, I was hiring Damian on behalf of clients. His strong, positive management style was embraced by the capable people who worked with him and we looked forward to these yearly events. Having Damian present throughout the planning, prep and set-up ensured that all ran effortlessly.
When a personal milestone event was looming, I became a client as well. My friends and family who travelled from Europe, the U.S.A. and from various parts of the UK still talk about how remarkable our event was.
I recommend The London

I've liaised with The London Kitchen as both a client and an attendee at various events catered by them and have always received gold standard service from commission to execution.
For my part I've engaged the Kitchen for intimate events where the food was exceptional, the service seamless and the added extras made for unforgettable memories.
Catering is notorious for a high turnover of staff, yet with Damian at the helm the service is uninterrupted, first class and always delivers beyond expectation.

Innovative....outstanding....trending. The London Kitchen is led with a flourish by Damian Clarkson, his many years of experience in the high end catering business show very clearly in the product and service he and his team offer. Damian was disrupting the event catering industry way before we knew the benefits that a challenger brand can bring. Thoroughly recommended...
