Corporate catering Lebanese London style is our answer to that question, and it’s one we’ve been quietly perfecting since 1981. Our food has always meant something and it means sitting together, sharing plates. That spirit translates beautifully into a boardroom, a product launch, or team lunch that deserves better.
Why Lebanese food for corporate events?
Platters of hummus, warm bread, smoky baba ghannouj and bright tabbouleh arrive at the centre of the table. Nobody has to choose a single boxed meal before they’ve even met their colleagues. They just help themselves, pass things along, and start talking.
That’s the quiet genius of mezze as office catering, Middle Eastern style. It’s built for sharing, so it naturally softens a room. People reach across the table for the vine leaves.
A few reasons Lebanese mezze suits business catering teams so well:
- Visually generous: colourful, varied, genuinely photogenic on a boardroom table
- Naturally shareable: no awkward “whose sandwich is this” moment
- Impressive without trying hard: it feels considered, not corporate
- Easy to scale: from six people around a table to two hundred at a launch
Dietary inclusivity
Any event organiser knows the real headache isn’t the food itself. It’s making sure nobody is left out. A good corporate lunch Lebanese menu solves that almost by default, because mezze was built around variety from the start.
Our catering is halal, which matters for a meaningful number of your colleagues and clients, and it’s simply part of how we cook rather than a special request. Vegetarian and vegan guests tend to find Lebanese mezze one of the easiest cuisines to eat well from. Falafel, moutabal, fattoush, stuffed vine leaves, spiced chickpeas. Many guests tell us they hadn’t realised quite how much of the spread they could eat until the plates started arriving.
You won’t need three separate catering suppliers to cover your team. One thoughtful mezze order tends to do it.
Mezze for all
Mezze does something a standard buffet line rarely manages. Because dishes sit in the middle of the table, people naturally cluster, reach, and chat while they eat. It removes the slightly stiff choreography of queuing for a plate and finding somewhere to stand.
For networking events, client mornings or informal working lunch ideas, that matters more than people expect. A shared plate of shish taouk or grilled halloumi gives people something to talk about besides the weather. We’ve catered mezze for chambers of commerce and embassy functions precisely because it works at scale without losing that easy, sociable feel.
Catering for product launches
Lebanese food does that quietly well. It’s distinctive enough to feel like a genuine choice rather than a default, and generous enough to match the occasion. Charcoal-grilled shish taouk, our signature Maroush mixed grill, fresh tabbouleh under the lights. It photographs well for the inevitable social posts too, which never hurts.
We’ve catered everything from small private dinners to large brand events, and the brief is always the same. Make it feel considered, not standard-issue.
A few practical touches worth knowing
- Mezze works equally well as a seated course or a relaxed grazing spread
- Grills can be timed to arrive hot, right when guests are ready to eat
- Presentation can be dressed up or kept simple, depending on your event
Board lunches
Not every event needs a launch budget. Sometimes it’s six people, a long agenda, and a lunch that needs to feel a little special without derailing the afternoon.
This is where Lebanese mezze quietly excels. It’s warm without being heavy, varied enough that everyone finds something they genuinely want to eat, and it doesn’t need much fuss to lay out. A well-chosen spread of cold and hot mezze, some fresh bread, a few grilled dishes if the occasion calls for it. Simple, generous, done.
Enquire with Maroush
We’ve catered for embassies, chambers of commerce and some of London’s best-known companies, and every single one of those events started with a short conversation. That’s really all it takes.
If you’re planning a working lunch, a launch, or your next board meeting, our catering team would love to help you put something together. If you’d rather experience the mezze in person before you commit to booking, you’re always welcome to visit one of our restaurants across London. Many guests come in for a meal before an event just to choose their favourites.
