When you are planning a corporate event, there is one element that leaves an impression on every guest.
The food.
Whether it is an elegant dinner, a networking reception or a working lunch, exceptional catering can turn a great event into an unforgettable one.
At Glaziers Hall, we are fortunate to work with Life’s Kitchen, our resident catering partner. Together, we create exquisite, bespoke menus that not only complement the style of your event but also showcase the absolute best of British seasonal produce.
So, what benefits does a resident catering team bring to corporate events, and how can you make the most of it?
-
Seamless Collaboration and Expertise
When a catering team knows the venue inside out, everything runs more smoothly.
Life’s Kitchen first started working with Glaziers Hall in 2006 before becoming our resident catering partner in 2023. From intimate meetings in the Thames Room to gala dinners in the Banqueting Hall and Christmas dining experiences in The London Bridge Arches, they have catered for them all.
That familiarity means they understand the flow of service, the acoustics, and how to time each course to perfection.
The result?
Flawless coordination, elegant presentation, and a calm, confident dining experience for your guests.

Bespoke Menus that Reflect Your Event
With a resident catering team, your chosen menu is a part of your story. Life’s Kitchen collaborates closely with clients to design menus that suit the tone, timing and purpose of each event.
Hosting a board meeting? A refined lunch featuring light, fresh flavours keep focus sharp.
Celebrating an award ceremony? A three-course dinner served beneath the interconnecting stone arches makes the occasion feel truly special.
Every dish is designed with care – layered with seasonal ingredients, balanced flavours and just the right umami depth to leave a lasting impression. Whatever your vision, Life’s Kitchen works to bring it to life through flavour, presentation and thoughtful menu design.
-
Fresh, Local and Sustainable Sourcing
Being located besides the famous Borough Market – one of London’s most celebrated food destinations – gives us a distinct advantage. Many of the ingredients that feature on our menus are locally sourced and seasonal, ensuring dishes are as fresh and flavourful as they are environmentally conscious.
Life’s Kitchen puts sustainability at the heart of every menu, from responsible sourcing to waste reduction, so your event can be both impressive and environmentally friendly.
-
Consistency You Can Trust
When you choose a venue with a resident catering partner, you are also choosing to work with a team that is pre-approved, in this case delivering excellence and reliability.
Life’s Kitchen’s attention to detail – from service style to dietary requirements – means every guest enjoys the same high standard, whether they are dining on canapes or a formal three-course meal.
-
Flexibility and Choice
While our partnership with Life’s Kitchen is at the core of our food offering, we also understand and appreciate that some events may call for something different.
When that is the case, we can make recommendations on suppliers that will meet with those exacting needs. At Glaziers Hall, we make event planning simple to deliver the very best experience.
Making the Most of Your Event
To get the absolute best from your catering experience, involve the team early in your planning.
Share the tone, goals and structure of your event so the menu can enhance the overall experience, from energising guests during an all-day conference to setting a relaxed tone for evening networking.
And do not be afraid to get creative.
With Life’s Kitchen’s expertise and access to the best of Borough Market’s produce, your event can feature something totally unique. For example, a bespoke cocktail inspired by your brand, a themed dessert station or seasonal ingredients that just reflect the time of the year.
With our resident catering partner by your side, every plate becomes a talking point.
