Multi-award winning catering
Tobacco Dock Food is the in-house catering partner at Tobacco Dock, designed to operate with the flexibility of a dry-hire venue and the confidence of a permanent on-site team. Built to support every scale and style of event, we deliver food and drink that works seamlessly across the entire estate — from single-space takeovers to complex, multi-event days.
A multi-award-winning in-house team, trusted to deliver catering across one of London’s most operationally complex venues. Operating within a dry-hire environment means flexibility is fundamental. Our approach is built around briefs of every shape and ambition — from high-volume service to highly curated experiences — with menus, formats and service styles tailored to the event rather than the other way around.
Recognised at the 2025 London Venue and Catering Awards as Best In-House Caterers (Up to 300 Annual Events), we bring together creative food, operational precision and a deep understanding of the venue to deliver consistently exceptional results.

Built for Scale — Designed for Detail
With two large industrial kitchens on site and the ability to install additional satellite kitchens where required, Tobacco Dock Food is uniquely equipped to deliver complex catering at scale.
Our team is highly proficient at running multiple events simultaneously, often across different buildings and formats, without compromise on quality or service.
Decades of combined venue experience allow us to advise on the most effective catering locations, service flows and space planning — ensuring food and drink enhances the event experience while working effortlessly within the architecture of Tobacco Dock.
Our menus are designed to adapt to the brief, not restrict it. We regularly deliver a wide range of catering formats, including:
- Street food and live food stations
- Gala dinners and seated dining
- Bowl food and canapé receptions
- Grab-and-go concepts and high-volume conference catering
- Dessert tricycles, late-night service and branded activations
Our drinks offering is designed to match the versatility of the venue. From curated wine lists featuring global producers and English vintages to cocktail programmes built for scale or spectacle, our bar teams deliver service that’s efficient, engaging and tailored to the event.
Signature serves, bespoke menus and branded bar experiences can all be created in line with the wider event vision.
Responsible Catering
Whether the requirement is fast-paced and informal or refined and theatrical, our team works closely with clients to create catering that feels purposeful, relevant and well-executed.
All dietary requirements are fully catered for, with plant-based and allergen-conscious options considered as standard rather than an afterthought.
Sustainability is built into our operation. We proudly support One Feeds Two, donating a meal to a child living in poverty for every meal served at Tobacco Dock. Through this partnership, nearly 16,000 meals were donated across 2024 and 2025.
We also work closely with clients to minimise food waste at every stage of planning and delivery. Where surplus food is unavoidable, we partner with OLIO and City Harvest to ensure excess food is redistributed to those who need it most.
