Deliveroo

The Natural History Museum is one of London’s most iconic event spaces — a breathtaking landmark venue with world-famous architecture and heritage. With Hintze Hall as the centrepiece, it offers a spectacular setting for large-scale receptions, brand moments and unforgettable Christmas parties.

For Deliveroo’s Christmas party, KERB Events brought the energy of London’s independent food scene into one of the capital’s most recognisable venues, delivering a full food and drink operation for over 1,200 guests.

The Brief

The brief was all about brilliant food that reflected the brilliant city we live in – so not just typical Christmas party fare.

So we curated a properly diverse and exciting line-up from London’s thriving independent food scene – including Amani Kitchen’s pulled lamb loaded rice, saffron chicken and vegan kofteh tabrizi, to Arnabeet’s aubergine, beef and chicken fatteh, and Bait’s crayfish and king prawn rolls.

The line-up also included Bian Dang’s Taiwanese bao buns, stuffed with aromatic braised pork belly, fried chicken or black vinegar aubergine; Curry On Naanstop’s Mumbai pockets with tandoori chicken, paneer tikka and vegan soya chaap; and Deeney’s famous grilled cheese toasties, loaded with BBQ brisket, spicy shredded chicken or slow-roasted garlic mushrooms.

Big numbers, smooth event operations

With over 1,200 guests moving through the venue, the operation needed to be planned down to the minute.

Our team managed the full pre-event and on-site operation, including trader sourcing, menu curation, dietary and allergen procedures, floor plans, consultation on trader placement and guest flow, production logistics, power requirements, health and safety, and trader communication and briefing.

On the night, KERB supervised load-in and de-rig, managed all catering staff, oversaw food and drink service, and ensured both front-of-house and back-ofhouse trader teams worked together smoothly throughout the event.

KERB’s bars keeping the Christmas party flowing

A Christmas party of this scale needs a bar operation built for volume.

KERB Events delivered 2 bar set-ups across the venue, including 1 full-width bar in Hintze Hall and 1 support bar in Fossil Way, complete with bar units, staff, equipment, ice, garnish and glassware.

The unlimited drinks package included KERB Lager and Hepcat IPA brewed by our pals at Gipsy Hill, Asahi and Lucky Saint 0.5% lager, red, white and rosé wine and an array of soft drinks. Of course, our special festive cocktails stole the show - including The Rum Remedy, Winter Blush, Vanilla Frost and Honey and It’s Cold Outside.

The result was a bar operation that kept service moving and party energy high from guest arrival through to midnight.

Delivering at scale

Deliveroo’s Christmas party gave KERB Events the chance to deliver a complete food and drink experience in one of London’s most spectacular venues.

From front-of-house traders and back-of-house support to tray-assisted food service, full bar delivery and unlimited drinks, every part of the operation was built to handle serious numbers without losing the flavour, pace and personality that KERB is known for.

A big venue. A big crowd. A brilliant Christmas party — powered by KERB traders, bars and smooth event delivery

“There are many reasons why we enjoy working with Kerb, first and foremost they deliver outstanding street food to our clients – there is always such a buzz among our guests (and staff!) when we know Kerb are catering. The diversity and range of offer is outstanding. Kerb have actually been a key part at some our biggest events – last summer we had 5 consecutive events for one client between 2,500-3,500 people and Kerb delivered seamlessly on each occasion.”
