Our food & drink

At Rhubarb Events, food is at the heart of the experience. Our expert team of chefs work with creativity, precision and flair to design dishes that are as memorable as the moments they are part of. Every menu is trend-led, crafted to reflect your vision and guest needs. From canapés and cocktails to multi-course dinners and immersive food stations, we use only the finest seasonal ingredients to deliver bold flavour and the very best quality.

Lancaster House is steeped in political and glamorous history, making it an exceptional venue for high-profile events.

Originally commissioned as York House by the ‘Grand Old’ Duke of York in 1825, it became the residence of the Dukes of Sutherland from 1830 until 1911 and was renamed Stafford House. In 1914, Lord Leverhulme, a Lancastrian, purchased the lease and gave the house its present name. The house has also hosted glamorous events, from receptions and dinners to catwalk fashion shows during London Fashion Week. Various rooms on the first floor have appeared in films such as The Young Victoria, National Treasure Book of Secrets, and production of Churchill at War, and The Crown. Lancaster House has also entertained more heads of state, politicians, and celebrities than any other house in London.
