Office catering London. Boardroom lunch to all-hands.

Up to 15 people can usually order for ASAP delivery — most orders arrive within 30–60 minutes. For 20–50 people, same-day is normally fine with 2–4 hours’ notice, depending on the kitchen’s stock. For 50 people and above, a day’s notice is best so the kitchen and the delivery can be planned properly. There is a maximum as well as a minimum: orders can be booked for any date up to 30 days ahead.

Yes. Orders can be placed for any date up to 30 days ahead, so a mid-December party can be booked from the middle of November. Shorter notice is fine too — up to 15 people can usually order for ASAP delivery, 20–50 people same-day with 2–4 hours’ notice, and 50 people and above with a day’s notice.

Yes, on normal service — the same 300+ vetted restaurants and caterers at their normal menu prices, the same flat £15 including VAT delivery, and the same 30-day booking window. There is no separate festive menu to choose from and no seasonal minimum: you order what your team actually wants to eat. Worth knowing before you book: HMRC’s £150-per-head annual functions exemption is a cliff edge, not an allowance.

Most catering platforms hand you a fixed set menu. On Ordit you order from any restaurant or caterer that delivers to your address, at their normal menu prices — platters and buffets, or individually boxed meals labelled by name if you prefer. One order, one delivery, one invoice.

You pay the menu price plus a flat £15 including VAT delivery fee per catering order, and a 5% + VAT service fee applied to your monthly total rather than to each order. Example: 30 people at £12 a head is £360 of food plus £15 delivery; the service fee is charged once on the month’s total spend. No setup fees, no minimum spend and no lock-in.

Work from the cost per head. At £12 a head — a typical individually boxed lunch — 50 people is £600 of food at menu prices, because Ordit adds no markup to what the restaurant charges. Catering delivery is a flat £15 including VAT for the whole order however large it is, so the order comes to £615. The only other charge is the service fee: 5% + VAT, applied once to your monthly total on the invoice rather than to each order — in a month where that £600 order is the only spend, £30 + VAT. Setup, subscription and platform fees are £0, and there is no minimum spend or lock-in. Individually boxed meals in London usually plan at £12–£18 a head, so £600–£900 of food is the realistic range for 50 people. A day’s notice is best at that size.

Ordit delivers across 15 Central London postcode areas — E1, E1W, E14, EC1–EC4, W1, WC1–WC2, N1, N1C, NW1, SE1 and SW1 — covering the City, Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, the West End and Victoria & Westminster. Offices, hotels, meeting rooms and event spaces are all fine.

Yes. Ingredient and allergen information is shown as provided by each vendor, and menus are filterable by vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, halal and kosher. On a platter order, tell Ordit the requirements when you order and dishes can be plated separately or supplied as individual boxed meals. For a severe allergy, confirm directly with the vendor before ordering.

Every order is monitored, not just the large ones. Support is on live chat Mon–Fri 9:00–21:30 and weekends 11:00–21:00. Tell Ordit as soon as you spot a problem, and within 24 hours of delivery, and we work it through with the vendor on the day — the sooner you flag it, the more the kitchen and the rider can still do. A delivery 30 minutes or more past the end of its window has its delivery fee refunded, and anything else is settled once the team has looked into what happened.

Contracted clients get everything on one monthly invoice with 30-day terms, broken down by team, department or cost centre. Not a client yet? Create an account, place a one-off catering order and pay by card — nothing to sign. Monthly invoicing needs an agreement, and you can move to it whenever it suits.
