Breakfast Catering in London: Office Menus and Prices

On Ordit partner menus checked in November 2026, breakfast catering in London costs from about £2.40 a head for a pastry box to about £7.70 for hot breakfast baguettes, and £20.48 a head for a catered Full English in thermal boxes.

Breakfast catering prices per head

Prices checked on 12 November 2026 and may change. They are menu prices; the menus do not state whether VAT is included. Per head divides the menu price by the people the menu says it serves or, for counted pieces, by the pieces at one each.

Ordering breakfast catering in London

Areas. Ordit delivers across central London, grouped into five areas: Canary Wharf, the City of London, the West End, Shoreditch and Victoria and Westminster.

How far ahead. Catering partners set a cut-off the day before: Yolk Catering 11:00, Route Catering, Owen Brothers and Polo Bar's platters 12:00, Coco di Mama's catering kitchens 14:00, City Brunch 17:00, Le Montmartre 18:00 and Benugo Catering 19:00. B Bagel's breakfast platters need 24 hours' notice. For a Monday breakfast, order by the partner's cut-off time on Friday: most of these kitchens are closed at weekends (Owen Brothers, Route Catering, Polo Bar and B Bagel open seven days). Cafés can usually take same-day orders for smaller groups within their hours, while larger groups need more notice: Yolk Breakfast runs 07:00 to 11:00 on weekdays, Maples opens at 06:30 and PICK.YOUR.OWN. at 07:30. Coco di Mama delivers breakfast from 07:30 to 10:45.

On Ordit catering orders from August to early November 2026, the median order was placed about three days ahead and a quarter within 39 hours. Tuesday to Thursday carried about 71% of all Ordit orders in that period, so book midweek breakfasts early.

Minimums, delivery and fees. The platters named here have no minimum quantity; some items do (10 for Owen Brothers' hot rolls and Full English, five for Le Montmartre's mini pastries). Catering delivery is £15 including VAT, and a delivery 30 or more minutes late has its delivery fee refunded. Ordit's service fee is 5% + VAT on the monthly total spend, applied on the invoice rather than per order; pricing sets out every charge. More than 80 partner restaurants on Ordit offer breakfast (November 2026): see Ordit catering. For wider planning, read the office catering in London guide.

Coffee and drinks

Route Catering sends coffee or tea in a 5-litre thermal flask (£55.95, 20 to 25 cups, cups, milk and sugar included; the flask is collected afterwards). Owen Brothers' Fair Trade Ground Filter Coffee is listed from £3.72 to £4.82 a head depending on the menu section, minimum 12, one flask per 12 people. For barista drinks, a flat white is £4 at PICK.YOUR.OWN. and £4.80 at Yolk Breakfast. For juice, Polo Bar sells 2.27 litres of freshly squeezed orange for £16; Owen Brothers' 1-litre carton (£6.24) is sized for four.

Vegan, gluten-free and halal options

Order these as separate, labelled items. On the menus checked:

• Vegan: Yolk Catering's Avo Mushroom Breakfast Bap Platter, Benugo Catering's Vegan Pastries Box, City Brunch's Medium Vegan Croissant Platter.
• No gluten (partner-marked): B Bagel's Gluten-Free Bagel Platter, Le Montmartre's gluten-free vegan and bacon butties (£10.90 for two), Yolk Catering's Smashed Avo Egg and Eggs Royale platters.
• Halal (partner-marked): Le Montmartre's Turkey Bacon butty (£10.90 for two), B Bagel's Gluten-Free Bagel Platter, City Brunch's croissant boxes, Route Catering's Veggie Breakfast on Toast.

These are the partners' own menu markings, not a guarantee against cross-contamination: for coeliac disease or a severe allergy, confirm with the partner before ordering. Ask colleagues about allergies before ordering too. Under the Food Standards Agency's allergen guidance, a business selling food online must provide allergen information before the purchase is completed and again when the food is delivered.

How much to order

As a rule of thumb, order one main item per person (a bap, a bagel or two halves), a pastry for every one or two people, and fruit or yoghurt pots for those who want something lighter. Some partners size it for you. Le Montmartre's mini pastries come three per person, Owen Brothers' Mini Viennoiserie one and a half. Order hot food to the confirmed headcount; keep any margin on pastries and fruit.

Is office breakfast taxable?

A breakfast provided on the employer's premises, open to all staff, on a reasonable scale and not through salary sacrifice can fall within the workplace meals exemption. HMRC's manual says the exemption "applies to light refreshments as it does to meals" (EIM21670). The conditions are set out in the employee meal benefits tax guide.
