Where brilliant women meet bold flavours

We're a London-based catering, events and venue management company who transform events into experiences using food, artistry and the power of people.

Powered by brilliant women and inspired by bold flavours, our experienced and dedicated team specialise in crafting and executing exceptional events and catering in London's leading venues.

We take a full-flavour approach to feasting & to life

Dinner Ladies was forged from friendship and cultivated in Asia. Our co-founders, Lily Cai and Emily Plunket, met at university before living in China, where they threw themselves into its culture and cooking, developing a taste for both.

Today, we still believe in the power of brilliant women and bold flavours, and they run through everything we do – from our playfully punchy, Asian-inspired menus, to our fierce championing of emerging female talent. 

People are drawn to our table as a nurturing space to share their stories and their skills. And we couldn’t be prouder of what our family continues to achieve, both at home and in the wider culinary world.
