Our Events
It’s a brilliant idea but the real brilliance is how you translate that into something effective and successful that feeds people and makes them think afresh as they are eating about prison, reform and rehabilitation.
Peter Stanford, Director, The Longford Trust
If you think Liberty Kitchen needs its stall to cook, think again! While the ideal setting involves an outside courtyard or space Liberty Kitchen can work in any area from private home kitchen to professional venue. Engagements permitting, we can deliver within any timeframe to any location - inside or out! Crucially, the menu inspired by the different cultures of its participants means Liberty Kitchen can adapt its recipes to suit any taste or occasion.
- Canape Receptions
Be it the luscious Berkely Square Salmon & Cream Cheese bite sized ball, the delicately seasoned Brick Lane Lamb Keema, Sultan Road Sweet Potato Vegan or any other canape choice to tease your tastebuds we have original sauces to enrich each flavour. And sweets to ‘finish you off’! Events catered in the last year include: the Longford Trust lecture reception @ Church House for 650 +; a PACT AGM for 80 @ Scrubs Visitors Centre; a screening at Publicis Sapiens Optimis Farringdon for 200 ; a Three Hands Anniversary Celebration at St Ethelburgh’s for 80; Koestler’s Postcards From Prison at the ArtWorkers Guild for 100; a Working Chance Report Launch for 120.
- Weddings, Bar Mitzvah & Birthdays
Liberty Kitchen loves catering! Especially for once-in-a-lifetime celebrations. From serving canape platter starters to a casual buffet style or sit down dinner, Liberty Kitchen is happy to help create the mood you seek with the food you most enjoy. Tastings can be arranged to design that special combination for that very special day. Depending on your request we can create recipes, that ideally are ball-shaped! Vegan, Halal, Gluten Free and other options are all available. Venues where Liberty Kitchen has provided formal and informal service include Mile End Art Pavilion, The Hackney & Littleton Manor Farm.
- Charity, Company Lunches & Awaydays
As with its other offers Liberty Kitchen can provide a range of services to suit whatever your need: be it an in-house training/planning session or an out of London Awayday. There’s a classic lunch box option served on site from gastros or the Stall; as well as meat, veggie and vegan wraps filled with hummus, sweet chilli, mayo, tzatziki or the mouth-watering Wah Gwaan. For an away day you might follow NKD’s proposition of wraps followed by an early evening street-ball supper!
- Markets & Festivals
Currently trading at London Farmers Market, Bloomsbury (www.lfm.org.uk/markets/bloomsbury) Liberty Kitchen has sold its yummy lunch boxes packed with street balls, sides and sauces at some of London’s most iconic markets including Leather Lane. It’s a member of KERB with whom it traded at Canary Wharf & Granary Square, Kings X. Watch this space as we look to rebuild Liberty Kitchen stalls. Festivals are back on the menu too! So get in touch if you are looking for a trader. Previously we have served food for celebrations at Spitalfields, with Sample @ the Dome & with Churches across London.
We had the most perfect day and cannot thank you enough for the food, it was honestly amazing! I wish I had a chance to speak to you more on the day and pass on some of the comments we were receiving, …we are still getting comments from people saying how delicious everything was and we cannot stop thinking about those tuna canapes! … I wonder… where we can send a thank you to you and the men of Pentonville? Thanks once again for helping make the day so special!
Bride, August 2023
The Menu – Liberty Kitchen doesn’t just do ‘classic’ street balls ie meat, fish, veg and vegan options it can also provide canapé style sweet and savoury balls like the Delicious Hoxton Mess a profiterole packed with crème de la crème coated in chocolate & sprinkled with exploding. As Michael Gearney, father of the bride explains:
“No one was expecting Michelin star catering, the expectation was 'adequate nosh'. We were to be surprised. The quality and variety of the food was excellent. It ranged from starter, main course and dessert with vegan/vegetarian and a variety of meats courses for mains. All were produced as very tasty and really pleasant to eat. The food was prepared and service was conducted by the same team which was very well trained, efficient and very pleasant to deal with. The team worked hard in settling into the premises which was first used for the wedding ceremony and then, really efficiently, converted for dining for over 200 people. The clearing away of everything was also highly efficient to restore the area for dancing and bar. A remarkable achievement and a golden memory of what can be done.”
