Catering services in Lavington.

Lavington sits between two kinds of client. There are the embassy residences, diplomatic homes and NGO offices along James Gichuru and Gitanga roads, which cater to procurement rules and documented dietary standards; and there are the established family homes behind the hedges, which host weddings, milestones and memorials. We cater both here, and the one thing they share is that presentation and discretion matter as much as the food.

The practical part

What catering in Lavington actually involves

Dietary requirements are specified, not guessed

Halaal, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergen requirements come up on most Lavington bookings. We're a Halaal-certified kitchen, we take the requirements as part of the brief, and we label dishes at the buffet so guests aren't asking staff what's in something.

Most homes have no event kitchen

We bring the full service setup and work off it, so a compound without a working kitchen isn't a problem. We'll confirm power, water and a shaded prep area with you before the day.

Gate access and sign-in take planning

Gated homes and official residences mean visitor sign-in, and at diplomatic addresses, staff names and vehicle details in advance. Tell us the address at quote stage and we'll send whatever your security or house team needs.

We don't supply tents or chairs

Worth saying plainly, because Lavington garden events often need them: we do food, serving staff and cutlery. Tents, furniture and décor come from a separate hire supplier, and we coordinate with them on the day.
