How much does Vlamber catering cost?
Our pricing depends on your guest count, menu selection, service style and event location. As a guide, canapé receptions typically start from £65–£85 per person, while seated fine dining dinners range from £120–£250+ per person including staff and equipment. Use our catering cost calculator for an instant estimate, or request a tailored proposal.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for weekends and peak seasons (May–September and November–December). For weddings and large corporate events, 6–12 months in advance is ideal. We do accommodate shorter timelines when our availability allows — contact us to check.
What areas of London do you cover?
We cover all 33 London boroughs and regularly cater for events across the Home Counties and UK-wide for larger engagements. There are no additional charges for most central London locations. Travel supplements may apply for events more than 30 miles outside central London.
Do you cater for dietary requirements and allergies?
Yes — comprehensively. Our chefs are experienced in creating dishes that accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, halal, kosher and other requirements without compromising on quality or presentation. We collect dietary information from all guests in advance. See our full dietary and allergen information page.
Do you provide staff and equipment?
Yes. A full Vlamber service includes professional front-of-house staff, qualified chefs, all crockery, glassware, cutlery and linen. We bring everything needed to create a complete fine dining experience in any venue — including private homes and outdoor spaces.
Can I see the menus before booking?
Absolutely. Browse our sample menus online, or better still, book a tasting to experience our food firsthand. We believe the best way to choose a menu is to taste it.
What is included in a tasting?
A tasting session gives you the opportunity to sample dishes from your proposed menu, meet our team and discuss all aspects of your event. Tastings are offered to confirmed bookings and serious enquiries. Book your tasting here.
Do you work with external venues?
Yes. We work at any venue — hotels, private members’ clubs, marquees, private homes, rooftop terraces and event spaces. We have established relationships with many London venues and can recommend spaces that suit your requirements. Browse our venue partners.
How does the booking process work?
Start by submitting an enquiry or requesting a proposal. Our team will respond within 24 hours to discuss your requirements. We’ll then send a detailed proposal including menu options, staffing plan and pricing. Once agreed, we confirm your date with a deposit. Read more about our full process here.
