Vanda's Kitchen delivers halal-certified, 100% nut-free catering to 30 St Mary Axe — The Gherkin — for any tenant, any floor. Order by 2pm for next-day delivery.
The Gherkin was built around Swiss Re and is arguably the most recognisable office building in the City, but it hasn't been a single-occupier tower for years — it now holds solicitors, insurers and property developers across its floors, financial dealing floors partway up, and a private art gallery and event space near the top, alongside its well-known public restaurant. However it's used, the building's actual workforce is as varied as any other large City tower.
Order for a team at The Gherkin: browse the shop or WhatsApp us with your floor and headcount.
An icon on the outside, an ordinary multi-tenant building inside
It's easy to think of The Gherkin as one thing — the shape on the skyline — rather than what it actually is inside: several different companies, each with their own floor, their own hours, and their own workforce. A law firm on one floor and an insurer on another have no more in common, catering-wise, than any two unrelated companies in any other City building.
Halal, nut-free and gluten-free, whichever floor you're on
The whole kitchen — not a section of it — is independently halal-certified by the Halal Friendly List. It's stayed nut-free since opening, holds over 60% of its menu gluten-free as standard, and labels every product to full Natasha's Law requirements.
