About Us
Party Ingredients is a longstanding London caterer with a reputation for fine food and drink, a 21st Century approach to sustainability, including paying a Living Wage to all employees, the ability to deliver to a consistently high standard and an eye for creative detail.
We are different from many of our competitors in that we run a largely in house operation – all food is made by us in our prep kitchens, from Petit fours, to ice creams to specialist breads; we manage our logistics in house and we have our own team of staff, rather than using agencies.  We are active in the private and corporate markets, as well as having a reputation for large scale, set piece formal events (State banquets and receptions etc). We are disciplined and hard working, flexible and profitable catering between 20 and 30 events each week.
We are accredited at many of London’s best events venues, we have a portfolio of contracted venues across the City, central and west London, and our sister company is at the forefront of the English wine renaissance.  We invest in the development of our team with in house and outsourced accreditations, stage placements and tailored training programs.
We have a hands on team of directors who cater on a daily basis with their teams – we are looking for a highly skilled, highly motivated practical and creative events professional to join our very successful operation.
