We were recently invited to provide event catering for a New York-themed activation in Canary Wharf — and it turned into one of the most memorable events we’ve ever been part of.
Working with Canary Wharf Group, and Sketch Events, the goal was to transform part of the area into a fully immersive New York City street.
Bringing a New York Theme to Life
The event was designed to replicate the feel of a New York block, complete with:
street signs
subway-style props
graffiti artwork
themed buildings and displays
Our American school bus and NYC-style pizza slices fit perfectly into the concept, becoming a central part of the experience.
High-Volume Catering in a Busy City Environment
Our role was to provide fast, high-volume catering throughout the event.
We served:
NYC-style pizza slices
continuous service throughout the day
peak-time offers, including £1 slices during busy periods
Across the event, we served close to 2000 slices per day — one of our busiest setups to date.
Going Viral on TikTok
The event quickly gained attention online, with videos of the setup, queues, and atmosphere gaining traction on TikTok.
Combined with wider media coverage, it turned into a standout moment for us — showing how the right combination of:
strong concept
high-quality food
unique setup
can create something people genuinely want to share.
A Unique Catering Experience
Events like this highlight how catering can be more than just food.
Our bus and setup helped:
draw attention
enhance the theme
create a focal point for guests
It’s a great example of how visual, street food-style catering can add value to branded and corporate events.
