British Event Catering is a mobile catering company serving events across the UK, from festivals and sport to corporate and emergency catering. We've worked with them since 2016, looking after their brand, website, search and Google Ads.

The starting point

A brand to match the quality of the service.

We've worked with British Event Catering since 2016, and our founder Tom has worked with them since 2013. As the business grew, they needed a brand that showed the quality they'd grown into, and set them apart from the many other mobile caterers out there.

The old website was out of date and needed starting again. Just as importantly, they wanted to be found: a site built to show up for the services they actually sell, not just to look better than the old one.

The British Event Catering brand mark
Brand and build

A modern identity, built on what already worked.

We started with a mark that reads instantly as food while still feeling premium. The burgundy carried over from their previous branding, so existing customers still recognised them, but the dated text treatment was replaced with a clean, modern typeface.

The site behind it had to win corporate work as well as private events, so discoverability was designed in from the start rather than added later, with an SEO foundation built into the structure.

Enhanced features

Booking caterers for 20,000 people is a nervous decision.

Whoever books the catering carries the risk if it goes wrong, whether that is a festival organiser or someone planning a wedding. Every feature here is there to remove a reason to hesitate.

01Client logos front and centre

A scrolling carousel of the brands they cater for, including the BBC, McLaren, Ford, London 2012 and Cancer Research, showing the scale they operate at before anyone reads a word.

02Two routes into the services

The site separates what you need (street food, mobile bars, concessions) from the kind of event you are running (festival, corporate, sports, emergency), so people navigate whichever way they think.

03Real events, with the numbers

Event breakdowns showing sixteen food stalls, twenty thousand guests, multiple food courts, with photography alongside. It is social proof and a scale check in one.

04A multi-step enquiry form

Event type, guest numbers, date and food preferences asked in sequence rather than all at once, which gathers real detail without feeling like a chore and pre-qualifies the lead.

05The full range of cuisine, shown

An animated showcase cycling through twenty-plus options from Greek gyros to stone-baked pizza, which positions them as one supplier for a whole event rather than a single van.

06Trust signals at decision points

Google reviews, accreditations and FAQs placed where the doubts actually surface: dietary requirements, licensing and minimum numbers.

Found on Google

Near the top of Google for over 500 searches.

Event catering is a crowded market, and people tend to book whoever they find first on Google. British Event Catering wasn't showing up reliably for the services and places that matter most.

So we strengthened the key service and location pages, tidied up how the site fits together, and added helpful guides for people still working out what they need. Today it's the first result on Google for searches like business event catering, emergency catering services and concession catering.
