Discover The London Pie and Mash Company for weddings

The London Pie and Mash Company was established in 2014, and the team are looking forward to celebrating 10 years within the catering industry – quite an achievement in this day and age! The key to its success has been adapting its offering to meet clients’ changing needs privately and publicly. As a business, the team has three core avenues of revenue: public events that include everything from Formula One at Silverstone to Glastonbury, where they cater 9,000 meals in 10 days! 

The second key service is the mail-order business, where the staff sends pie meals via courier throughout the country, a service which certainly came alive during the difficult Covid-19 pandemic. The biggest area of business is private catering, from corporate events and birthday parties to weddings. They have catered well over 1,000 private functions nationwide from 10 to 1,000 guests! The three business streams work in great harmony as many private bookings come from customers who have eaten the dishes at a public event, and the mail order allows customers to have a taster before they commit.

 The team used to just serve pie and mash only in the early days but has expanded to offer a full range of canapés, starters, mains, desserts, buffets and late-night snacks through the wedding business specifically. They can provide staff, plates, cutlery, glassware and linen hire with a relaxed buffet to formal table service. There’s even a fully licenced mobile bar, Tinos, to offer a one-stop shop for clients offering savings and reducing risks. The company works with customers, helping them through the many potential pitfalls of event organising and management. Many people have yet to organise a large-scale event before, so it can be beneficial for the team to share many years of experience with real practical advice. 

With well over 20,000 followers on social media, they’re one of the most followed caterers in the UK. Managing director Olac Coombs says, “In a world where everyone has an opinion, we always need to be on top of our game and never take our history or future customers for granted. Every job is ultra-important, big or small, and we always strive for continuous improvement by listening to what people want and need now and in the future.”
