Lebanese Catering London

Traditional Lebanese recipes have been handed down for centuries, making use of the Mediterranean climate that grows an abundance of herbs, spices and vegetables. A history of foreign presence in Lebanon has made for a rich variation in the cuisine. Lamb is a key part of modern Lebanese cuisine, but it was only since the Ottoman Turks influenced Lebanon that lamb was a staple. In addition, the French brought sweets with them, introducing croissants and custards to the Lebanese cuisine in 1943. Nowadays, the varied Lebanese cuisine we recognise is popular around the UK, especially in London.

Fragrant herbs and fresh flavours remain abundant in Lebanese cuisine, balancing taste and aroma with garlic, mint, parsley, oregano and more. You can expect each dish to be full of flavour and spice. Grilled lamb, Lebanese sausage and beef accompany the fresh vegetables and herbs, served with flat breads and cool dips.

Vegan & vegetarian Lebanese catering

Authentic Lebanese cuisine is rarely meat-heavy as the dishes focus on the rich variety of seafood and fresh produce that grow in the region. With rugged mountain terrain, chicken and goat are the predominant traditional Lebanon meats. Common vegetarian ingredients include iron-rich chickpeas, whole baked aubergines, tomatoes and protein-packed bulgur wheat: just 100g provides over 20% of your daily intake.

Many dishes are vegetarian and vegan friendly, including some well-known-and-loved staples like hummus and falafel. Vegetarian and vegan friendly dishes are marked on each menu so you can easily choose catering that will please everyone.

Hiba salad is great dish you can find on the Hiba Street catering menu. Mixing the usual fresh salad ingredients of lettuce, tomato and cucumber with a sweet mix of peppers, parsley and mint.
Fattoush is another Lebanese salad combining fried pitta bread pieces with chopped raddish, peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables.
Moudardara is a filling dish of Lebanese lentils and rice, perfect for bulking up a light meal.

Ideas on what to order

Lebanese catering is traditionally served as a platter of different dishes, called a mezze. You can order individual dishes from our caterers to make up a diverse spread or pick a pre-planned platter for your convenience. Here are a few traditional Lebanese dishes to be enjoyed:

Cool, savoury dips including hummus (smooth chickpea dip served with pitta), moutabel (spicy aubergine dip) and tzatziki (yoghurt and cucumber dip to compliment grilled meats).
Falafel, a fried ball of ground chickpease, onions and fragrant spices, is the classic choice.
Mousakaat (aubergine dish served with tomatoes) and tabbouleh (zingy salad full of parsley, mint and tomatoes) are light and flavourful alternatives to meat.
Kebbeh, a much favoured dish in Lebanon, combines ground beef or lamb with onion and herbs into round bitesize portions perfect for fingerfood.

How much should I order?

View the menus on our website to find out how many people each platter will serve. If in doubt, consider 1 or 2 Lebanese wraps per person to be plenty. If you’re ordering a variety of dishes for your office party, we recommend 5 or so per 10 people, so everyone can enjoy a taste of Lebanese cuisine.
