Lombard Hospitality Catering Menus

As a trusted London catering company, we’ve spent over 20 years creating seasonal, thoughtful menus that adapt to every kind of event.

In this post, we’re taking you inside our current catering menus—from multi-course dinners to breakfast trays, sharing platters, and modern canapés. Each menu is shaped to fit the format, mood, and purpose of your event.

Seated Dining Menus

Our plated dining menus are built for moments that call for structure, service, and a bit of ceremony. Available as Menu A, B, or C, these multi-course options are ideal for weddings, awards dinners, leadership off-sites, or any event where guests are seated and the food sets the tone.

Each tier follows a classic structure—starter, main, dessert—with variations in complexity and ingredients to suit different preferences and budgets. Highlights from the range include Devon crab on toasted sourdough with dill crème fraîche, sirloin steak with béarnaise and hand-cut chips, and a rich truffle mushroom risotto that’s a favourite among vegetarian guests.

Whether you’re looking for something refined and formal or a more contemporary take on British-European cooking, our seated menus are designed to flex. Each tier offers a different price point, allowing you to scale the experience while keeping flavour and presentation front and centre.

Breakfast Options – Start Strong

Our breakfast menus are designed to start the day with energy and style. Whether it’s a morning boardroom briefing, a creative team session, or a relaxed client meeting, we offer a range of options that feel polished but unfussy.

From mini brioche rolls filled with smoked salmon or egg mayo, to rye toasts topped with avocado, crushed beetroot, or peanut butter and banana, every item is made fresh and thoughtfully assembled. For something lighter, we also offer fruit salads, homemade granola pots, and flaky pastries that pair perfectly with good coffee and conversation.

Available for office drop-offs or fully staffed events, our breakfast menus bring flexibility without compromising quality. It’s a simple way to make an early start feel considered and a little more enjoyable.

Nordic Smørrebrød & Rye Selections – A Point of Difference

Our Nordic smørrebrød selection offers something distinct—open-faced rye sandwiches that combine clean presentation with bold, satisfying flavour. Inspired by Scandinavian lunch traditions, these dishes are a subtle nod to our Nordic roots and continue to set us apart.

Favourites include rare roast beef with horseradish remoulade and crispy onions, Danish blue cheese with pear and walnut, and Skagen: a Nordic-style prawn cocktail with dill and crème fraîche. Served cold and beautifully arranged, they’re easy to eat and visually striking.

These selections work especially well for working lunches, gallery events, or informal networking spreads where guests graze as they go. It’s a refreshing alternative to the standard sandwich tray—lighter, smarter, and full of character.

Buffet & Sharing Platters – Effortless Abundance

Our buffet and sharing platters are built for events where ease and abundance go hand in hand. Designed to be set down and enjoyed without formality, these options encourage guests to help themselves, making them perfect for casual gatherings or fast-paced working environments.

From artisanal cheese boards and charcuterie platters to whole fish dishes and vibrant crudités with dips, everything is arranged to look generous and inviting. These setups work especially well for film production catering, all-day boardroom sessions, or celebratory office moments where structure isn’t essential but quality still matters.

It’s food that holds up well, travels easily, and delivers big on flavour, without needing cutlery, menus, or a service team. Just open, plate, and share.

Wraps, Salads & Bowls – Fresh, Flexible & Fast

For events that call for something lighter, our wraps, salads, and bowls offer a fresh, balanced alternative. These menus are built around vibrant, nutrient-rich ingredients that don’t compromise on flavour—perfect for wellness-focused gatherings, team-building days, or any setting where clarity and energy matter.

Options range from buckwheat salad with mint, asparagus, and toasted seeds (vegan) to hot honey salmon Caesar wraps and roasted squash with lingonberries and kale. Each dish is designed to travel well, serve quickly, and satisfy without feeling heavy.

Whether it’s a working lunch, a corporate wellness programme, or a midday reset between workshops, these offerings are fast, flexible, and easy to scale—exactly what modern catering should be.

Substantial Canapés – Small Plates, Big Impact

Our canapé and bowl food menus are designed for events where guests want to move, mingle, and still eat well. Perfect for cocktail receptions, art openings, and launch parties, these bite-sized dishes pack real flavour into a format that’s easy to serve and effortless to enjoy.

Think mini burgers and grilled halloumi sliders, Danish blue cheese tartlets with pear, and chicken satay skewers. Fish and chips served in paper cones bring a playful twist, while smoked salmon blinis keep things classic and elegant. For something heartier, bowl food options offer more substance, ideal for longer events without a formal sit-down meal.

What makes this menu style work so well is its flexibility. Guests can graze at their own pace, the service feels seamless, and there’s room to offer variety without overwhelming the setup. It’s catering that feels curated, not crowded—and one of the smartest ways to feed a crowd without slowing down the flow.

Seasonal & Festive Menus – Holiday-Ready Hospitality

Our seasonal and festive menus bring classic comfort with polished execution—perfect for company Christmas parties, December client lunches, or end-of-year team gatherings. At the heart of the offering is roast turkey with stuffing, glazed root veg, roast potatoes, and all the proper trimmings. For dessert, nothing says tradition quite like Christmas pudding served warm with brandy custard.

Of course, not everyone wants turkey. We offer thoughtful vegetarian and pescatarian alternatives, including dishes like mushroom Wellington or citrus-glazed sea bass, so that no guest feels like an afterthought. Everything is designed to be celebratory without being overcomplicated—just good, seasonal food made for sharing and toasting the end of a busy year.

Dessert Highlights – A Sweet Finish

Desserts at Lombard Hospitality are a final flourish, designed to leave a lasting impression. Across all our catering menus, you’ll find options that balance comfort, elegance, and just the right amount of indulgence.

Standouts include our cinnamon bun ice cream, a guest favourite for its nostalgic warmth and creamy texture, and Willie’s double chocolate cake—rich, dark, and unapologetically bold. For something lighter, mini lemon meringue tarts offer sharp citrus and soft sweetness in a single, polished bite.

Whether served as part of a plated meal or passed around at the close of a canapé reception, our desserts are made to finish things properly—with style, detail, and flavour.

Tailored Packages & Service Add-Ons

Every event is different, which is why all our catering menus can be fully tailored to suit your format, audience, and setting. Whether you’re looking to add welcome drinks, pre-meal canapés, or a post-dinner grazing table, we’ll work with you to shape a package that fits naturally into your event flow.

From intimate dinners to 500-person receptions, our team maintains ingredient quality and presentation at scale. We’re here to collaborate—from recommending wine pairings to adjusting dishes for dietary needs or styling food to complement a theme. Whatever your brief, we’ll help you build a catering plan that feels seamless, intentional, and distinctly yours.

Why Our Catering Menus Work

Our catering menus work because they’re built around real event needs—versatile, seasonal, and balanced. Every dish is designed by chefs who understand how food functions within an event: how it tastes, how it paces across a room, how it accommodates diverse diets without compromise, and how it looks when it lands.

We focus on substance as much as style, making sure every plate—whether it’s a canapé or a three-course meal—delivers on flavour and fits the occasion. That’s why production teams, corporate planners, and private hosts come back to us time and again. Our menus aren’t just about feeding people—they’re about enhancing the entire experience.
