FAQs

WHAT IS MARIE ET MARCELLE OFFERING?

Marie et Marcelle offers a range of catering services to London businesses and institutions primarily. Our services range from regular office lunch for employees (the canteen service), buffet lunches, business lunches, canape parties and private dinners for board of directors or client events.  

We deliver fresh, handmade food to your office or event space, lovingly prepared with carefully selected seasonal produce. Savour an irresistible and well balanced main dish with accompanying dessert from a menu that changes monthly. Each meal is carefully packaged and refrigerated (or can be delivered hot), guaranteeing a fresh and delicious dish ready for you to enjoy.

I personally prepare each dish, sometimes drawing inspiration from my grandmother’s gourmet passion, other times combining flavours and spices I collected from my travels, to create meals that are unique and inspiring.

Sustainability and locality are key to our food mission. The menu evolves with the seasons; respecting the harvest cycles of fruits and vegetables. Ingredients are sourced from small local and organic producers, wherever possible. Packaging is reusable, recyclable or biodegradable and waste is kept to a minimum. The result is a lunch that suits your refined palate and is good for your conscience.

WHAT KIND OF CUISINE DO YOU COOK?

The Marie et Marcelle's offering is strongly influenced by my French heritage that is best shown through my love for food. I am also fortunate to have grown up in a very multicultural environment, have lived in different continents and have travelled to various places. The meals prepare are therefore a blend of family recipes, memories from my time living abroad or flavours brought from travels.   

HOW CAN I ORDER?

For corporate orders, please do get in touch using the contact form or emailing bonjour@marieetmarcelle.com. We will revert back to you to discuss your requirements in more details. The corporate offering is very much bespoke to our clients needs so please share as much information as you can about your corporate catering needs. We will revert back to you to arrange a meeting and discuss this in more details. 

We work with fresh products and have a reduced waste approach. As such, the food is prepared to order and a minimum of 72-hour notice is therefore required. 

DO YOU OFFER A SIMILAR ALTERNATIVE FOR DINNER?

Marie et Marcelle is primarily designed as a lunch services, however over the years we have supported our clients with a number of private dinners or canape parties. Please do get in touch via the contact form and we will revert back to you to discuss your event in more details.   

CAN YOU GUARANTY THE ABSENCE OF ALLERGENS IN YOUR MEALS?

Allergens are listed in the menu we will share with you in advance. At the time of your delivery, we will include the relevant allergens information. Please note that Marie et Marcelle operates from a shared kitchen environment where all allergens are being handled. This includes cereals containing Gluten, Crustaceans, Eggs, Fish, Milk, Mustard, Peanuts, Sesame, Soybeans, Sulphur dioxide and Sulphites, and Nuts. As such, we cannot guarantee the absence of trace of allergens in the meals prepared and unfortunately cannot cater to people suffering from severe forms of allergies. Please send an email to bonjour@marieetmarcelle should you have any questions. 

IS YOUR PACKAGING ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY? 

Marie et Marcelle works with packaging providers that are certified food safe and offers products either made from plants or are using renewable, lower carbon, recycled or reclaimed materials. Some of the packaging is commercially compostable whilst other would be either recyclable, biodegradable or reusable.
