Vanda's Kitchen did not begin as a corporate catering business. It began with a conviction — that genuinely good food should be available to everyone, regardless of their dietary requirements, their cultural background, or their budget. London has no shortage of food businesses. What it lacks is food businesses that are genuinely inclusive by design rather than by accommodation — where certified halal provision, allergen safety, and dietary diversity are the starting point rather than the afterthought. That conviction became Vanda's Kitchen, at Carter Lane EC4, two minutes from St Paul's Cathedral. View our team lunch menu.
The founding question
The question that drives Vanda's Kitchen is simple: why should excellent food and genuine dietary inclusivity be mutually exclusive? The London corporate catering market had options for the standard office lunch. What it did not have — and still largely does not — is a caterer that is simultaneously independently certified halal, operating from a 100% dedicated nut-free kitchen, holding a 5-star food hygiene rating, and supplying Selfridges Food Hall. Building all four into a single business from day one was the founding commitment.
Filipino culinary heritage at the heart of it
Filipino cuisine is built on abundance, generosity, and whole-ingredient cooking. The Filipino approach to food — bold flavours, fresh preparation, nothing artificial, enough for everyone — is a natural fit for corporate catering that takes quality seriously. Vanda's Kitchen brings this culinary philosophy to City offices: food that tastes genuinely good, prepared fresh every morning from real ingredients, to a standard that Selfridges Food Hall independently validated. The Filipino heritage in Vanda's Kitchen is not a marketing story. It is the culinary philosophy that shapes every decision made in the kitchen every morning.
