A creative event catering company that delivers every time

Ideas Box have built a formidable reputation as a trusted and creative catering company serving London and the south of England. Their event catering services are used by a wide variety of clients, from ambitious new start-ups, all manner of SMEs to blue-chip multinationals and iconic organisations such as Expedia, BAFTA, Google, The British Museum, Goldman Sachs, the BBC, Mercedes-Benz, Amazon, Porsche, American Express, HSBC, McLaren, AstraZeneca, Facebook, Aviva, and many more.

It says a lot about Ideas Box that many of these prestigious customers use them again and again. Nairn Brown, Senior Operations Manager at Ideas Box, offers one reason why these businesses keep using Ideas Box:

“Our clients trust us because we combine creative catering expertise with exceptional service and attention to detail – consistently delivering experiences that exceed expectations.”

As a leading creative event catering company in London, Ideas Box focus on delivering fun and impactful food and drink experiences for corporate events, exhibitions, and trade shows, as well as for exclusive private parties and weddings.

Based in London (Battersea, SW11 to be more precise) Ideas Box was founded over 20 years ago and were largely responsible for introducing the Chocolate Fountain to London and the South. Handling over 60 events a month at their peak, a sudden decline in appetite for chocolate fountains in 2007 forced a change of strategy for the business. This took them fully into the exciting world of creative event catering built around mobile food and drinks tricycles and stands. As Nairn explains:

“We took the food and drinks tricycles idea to the next level by adding clever, innovative design, super-stylish colours and serving top quality food and drink products. From that, flowed the development of the largest and most diverse range of food tricycles in the world. We now have over 25 tricycles and a further collection of mobile food stands – and we definitely haven’t stopped developing the range yet.”

Ideas Box do indeed offer an expansive range of unique mobile food and drink options which certainly turn heads and bring a smile, not least because of the promise of outstandingly delicious food and drinks.

Ideas Box currently offer their customers a wide choice of fabulous drinks tricycles and stands serving cocktails, Pimm’s, fresh juices, and top of the range artisan coffee. Their mobile bars serve everything from freshly squeezed orange juice to expertly crafted cocktails. Alongside the drinks options, there are 24 standout, hot or cold food options that are as delicious as they are visually impressive, including multiple types of ice-creams, authentic Belgian waffles and Dutch pancakes, gourmet burgers, cheeses, crepes and churros, hot dogs, paninis, fish and chips of course, and the list goes on!
