Caviar & Champagne Corner
Caviar & Champagne Corner Catering in London
The Caviar & Champagne Corner is the most indulgent and prestigious live station catering experience Vlamber offers for events in London. A dedicated service station presents premium caviar — Oscietra, Beluga or a curated selection — alongside artisan blinis, crème fraîche and the finest Champagne, served continuously throughout your reception. It is the station that defines the standard of an event. At Vlamber, we bring the Caviar & Champagne Corner to weddings, corporate hospitality events, brand launches, VIP receptions and private celebrations across London. Nothing communicates quality at a catering event in London quite like it.
What Is The Caviar & Champagne Corner?
The Caviar & Champagne Corner is an exclusive station that offers a tasting of premium caviar accompanied by high-quality Champagne — including blinis, Melba toast and artisan accompaniments — served by a dedicated team throughout the event. TakeWalks
In practice, it is one of the most powerful single additions available to catering events in London. A styled station — ice, tins of caviar, perfectly made blinis, crème fraîche, chilled Champagne — operated by our team throughout the reception, with each portion presented and served individually to guests.
Whether indulging in a 30g tin with blinis and crème fraîche or sampling a curated selection of caviars, the experience promises refined quality in an intimate, personal service format. Hog Island Oyster Co.

It is visually exceptional
caviar tins on ice, blinis, chilled Champagne flutes and the styling of the station all photograph and film beautifully
It works alongside any other catering format
as a premium addition to a canapé reception, a wedding drinks reception or a brand event catering setup in London, the corner elevates the entire food and drink offer of the event
The Caviar — What We Use And Why It Matters
Caviar is one of the most misunderstood luxury ingredients in the world. The quality, species, provenance and handling of the caviar determine everything about the experience — and at Vlamber, we use only properly sourced, correctly stored and expertly presented caviar at our London catering events.
Understanding the varieties:
The most requested caviar at Vlamber's London catering events and the foundation of our Caviar & Champagne Corner. Medium-sized eggs with a golden to dark brown colour. The flavour is nutty, buttery and complex — with a clean, long finish. Considered by many to be the finest caviar for event service because of its balance of flavour, texture and consistency. Cured for a minimum of 6 months.
The largest and most prestigious of all caviar varieties. Soft, large eggs ranging from light grey to near-black. The flavour is subtle, buttery and extraordinarily delicate — almost creamy. Available in smaller quantities than Oscietra and priced accordingly. Reserved for our most prestigious London catering events and VIP occasions.
Smaller, darker eggs with a more intense and briny flavour than Oscietra or Beluga. A more assertive caviar — preferred by those who want a stronger, more pronounced experience. Available on request.
(Option 3 and 4) For London catering events where guests appreciate the full range of caviar varieties, we offer a curated tasting of two or three varieties side by side — each presented in its own tin with a paired Champagne or vodka recommendation. This turns the corner into an educational and gastronomic experience rather than simply a service station.
All caviar used at Vlamber's London catering events is sourced from licensed, sustainably farmed producers — primarily from farms in Italy, France, Germany and China that meet the highest standards of aquaculture and fish welfare. Wild caviar from Caspian sturgeon is not used. We are transparent about sourcing on request.
The Champagne — What We Pair And Why
The drinks list at a Caviar & Champagne Corner should include the finest Champagnes with an emphasis on complementary pairings — alongside a selection of premium spirits, particularly exceptional vodkas, which are the traditional pairing for caviar. Merepointoyster
At Vlamber, the Champagne selection at the corner is chosen to complement the caviar — not simply to serve as a drink alongside it.
Our standard Champagne pairings:
Blanc de Blancs Champagne (the classic pairing) Made from 100% Chardonnay — mineral, precise and with a fine persistent mousse. The acidity of a good Blanc de Blancs cuts through the richness of the caviar and lifts the flavour. Our preferred pairing for Oscietra caviar at London catering events.
Brut Nature / Zero Dosage Champagne No added sugar — bone dry, precise and uncompromising. Works particularly well with Beluga caviar, where the subtlety of the Champagne allows the delicacy of the caviar to speak clearly.
Prestige Cuvée Champagne (Option 3 and 4) Krug Grande Cuvée, Dom Pérignon, Bollinger R.D. or equivalent — for the most prestigious London catering events where the Champagne is as much a part of the statement as the caviar itself.
Vodka pairing (available on request) The traditional Russian pairing for caviar — ice-cold, unflavoured premium vodka served in a small chilled glass alongside each portion of caviar. We include this as an option at London catering events where guests appreciate the traditional pairing.
Champagne and vodka are quoted as part of the drinks package and can be bundled with the corner or coordinated separately.
What Is Served At The Corner
The Caviar & Champagne Corner at a Vlamber London catering event is a complete, styled service — not a tin of caviar on a table.
Standard service includes:
Caviar:
- Oscietra or Beluga caviar (variety confirmed at proposal stage based on availability and budget)
- Served from the tin, presented on ice
- Mother-of-pearl spoons (essential — metal oxidises caviar)
- Portions of 5–10g per person
Blinis:
- Freshly made buckwheat blinis — warm and soft, prepared and held properly to maintain texture throughout service
- Size calibrated to one or two bites — the correct format for event service
Accompaniments:
- Artisan crème fraîche (full fat, properly sourced)
- Finely chopped shallot and egg white (for guests who want a more traditional serve)
- Fresh dill and chive micro garnish
- Lemon wedges
- Melba toast and artisan crackers as an alternative to blinis
Champagne service:
- Chilled Champagne flutes presented alongside each portion of caviar
- Champagne poured by our team and replenished throughout the event
Optional additions:
- Vodka shots (chilled, served alongside caviar — traditional pairing)
- Dressed oyster with caviar and crème fraîche (combining raw bar and caviar corner)
- Smoked salmon with caviar cream alongside the corner
How The Corner Operates At Your London Event
The Caviar & Champagne Corner is a staffed service station — not a self-serve display. Each portion of caviar is presented and served by our team, with Champagne poured and offered alongside.
Setup and service:
- Our team arrives at least 60 minutes before service to set up and chill all elements
- The station is styled and ready before guests arrive
- Caviar is held at the correct temperature throughout service (0 to 4°C)
- Blinis are prepared fresh and held correctly — warm, not cold
- Each guest receives a portion on a blini with crème fraîche and garnish, accompanied by a Champagne flute
- The team replenishes and manages the station continuously throughout the event duration
Service flow options:
Fixed station service Guests approach the corner and are served by our team. The corner operates as a destination within the room — guests come to it rather than it coming to them.
Roaming service (Option 3 and 4) In addition to the fixed corner, a member of our team circulates through the room with a tray of blinis topped with caviar — bringing the experience directly to guests who have not yet found the corner. Particularly effective at larger London catering receptions.
What Events Is The Caviar & Champagne Corner Ideal For In London?
The Caviar & Champagne Corner is one of the most talked-about additions to wedding catering in London. During the drinks reception, it creates an immediate and powerful first impression — guests who encounter the corner within minutes of arriving know they are at an exceptional wedding. The combination of Champagne, caviar and the theatre of the service sets a standard for the entire day.
At the highest level of corporate entertainment in London — client dinners, VIP receptions, board-level hospitality and prestige corporate catering events — the Caviar & Champagne Corner communicates a standard that no other catering addition can match. It tells guests that the host takes hospitality seriously.
At product launches, press events and influencer catering events in London, the Caviar & Champagne Corner creates some of the strongest visual content available — the combination of ice, caviar tins, blinis and Champagne flutes photographs beautifully and communicates an unambiguous message about the brand's positioning.
A caviar tasting is an ideal start to a dinner party — an evening your guests will not forget. For private dining events at home in London, the Caviar & Champagne Corner as a welcome station before dinner is one of the most impressive hospitality gestures available. TakeWalks
For VIP guests, high-net-worth individuals and concierge-level catering events in London, the corner is a standard feature — not a luxury addition. It is what guests at this level expect and remember.
Champagne and caviar are two of the great festive indulgences. A Caviar & Champagne Corner at a Christmas party catering event in London is genuinely celebratory, deeply seasonal and completely memorable.
Pre-ceremony receptions for award events and gala dinners in London benefit enormously from a Caviar & Champagne Corner — it gives VIP guests and nominees something exceptional to encounter on arrival and sets the tone for the entire evening.
