About Us

By Word of Mouth is a specialist event caterer, wedding caterer and event planning company based in London, UK.

For more than 30 years, By Word of Mouth has excelled at creating spectacular events and providing exceptional food that pushes the boundaries of quality, creativity and style.

We work anywhere, including internationally, and in any location – from the tiniest boutique in Bond Street to a marquee 1800m above sea level in the snowy Alps and, of course, in private homes, corporate offices and venues.

Excellence is the focus at By Word of Mouth and we are a company with a firm commitment to creating an enjoyable, positive experience for all those with whom we work.

History & Experience

By Word of Mouth was born in the mid 1970’s as a small, family-run London caterer with a focus on excellence.

This ethos, coupled with a creative, highly personal approach and superb food quickly gained many admirers and our list of both corporate and private clients expanded rapidly. Many of those original clients remain faithful to By Word of Mouth to this day.

By Word of Mouth has occupied its premises at Glenville Mews in London SW18 for over 25 years and we have been lucky enough to be able to expand as necessary to create larger kitchens, new offices and entertaining rooms from where guests have a superb view of the chefs in action.

Corporate Events

By Word of Mouth brings its sense of style and logistical know-how to a wide range of corporate events, whether client receptions, dinners, press days or fashion events. The team is adept at working with your brand identity and creating an event that is a clear reflection of your goals and target audience.

We believe in being clear and upfront about budgets and costs, working to achieve the maximum impact whilst meeting your financial parameters.

Our venue finding service is very popular with all our clients – we will put together a range of possible locations and visit them with you, contributing our knowledge and experience to the decision making process.

Private Events

Private parties have been at the core of By Word of Mouth’s activities since the very beginning. We have been lucky enough to contribute to countless special celebrations, whether birthdays, anniversaries, christenings or just happy gatherings of friends.

Every event is special to us and we bring the same sense of fun, creativity and imagination to everything we do, coupled with a clear quoting process that keeps you informed and updated at every stage of the process.
