Urban Caprice
We are obsessed by food
Insisting on using only the freshest ingredients from sources we know and trust and with whom
we have worked for many years. We offer a wide range of vegetarian, fish and meat dishes and
each menu is put together with careful thought as to who will be eating it. Seasonality, the
duration and nature of the event, guest numbers and guests profile are taken into account.
We can offer signature dishes from our restaurants
We can recreate the classic menus of the restaurants and clubs in our group, including The Ivy,
Le Caprice, J Sheekey, Bam-Bou, Daphne’s, Scott’s, Mark’s Club, George or Harry’s Bar. No
other catering company can do this.
We are accredited by the Soil Association
To offer completely organic menus. Please let us know if you would like to consider an organic
menu. Our over-arching philosophy is to keep things simple, classic and authentic with modern
British, European, Moroccan, Pacific Rim and French-Vietnamese flavours all considered.
Our Executive Chef, Iain Graham
Oversees the menus and culinary creativity of Urban Caprice. Iain has worked extensively in the
UK and overseas. He began his career in The Lensbury Club in Teddington before moving to
Boston working as a pastry chef at The Marriott Hotel and later to Sydney and the stylish W
Hotel.
In London, Iain has worked with John Torode and Peter Gordon working as part of the team
that launched Providores. Iain has also been involved in the creation of Cru in Hoxton, Fifteen
Restaurant (where as sous chef he trained the first group of chefs) and the Tabernacle Bar and
Grill in Shoreditch.
What’s a party without a drink?
Liquid inspiration, all day refreshments, classic or mixed up cocktails and fine wines. We
produce a bespoke drinks list to accompany each menu.
