Gallery Catering for a Private View Event in London

Peapod & Co. works with galleries, museums and cultural venues as a trusted gallery caterer in London & the Home Counties, with experience in private view and exhibition catering.

Peapod & Co. was proud to be the exclusive catering partner for Enchanted, Assel Sargaskayeva’s inaugural solo exhibition in the UK. Held over three days in a prestigious Mayfair gallery, the private view brought together invited guests, representatives from esteemed galleries, art collectors, and press to celebrate Assel’s distinctive artistic vision.

The artistic setting called for an elegant and creative approach to gallery catering. Our team designed a bespoke food and drink experience to reflect the exhibition’s themes, balancing style, seasonality and cultural inspiration. Every detail was curated to enhance the creative atmosphere, allowing guests to enjoy an immersive and memorable private view.

Peapod & Co. was delighted to manage all food and drink for this high-profile art exhibition in the heart of London. Drawing inspiration from Assel’s Kazakh heritage and vibrant creative style, we crafted a menu that featured seasonal ingredients, bold colours and refined presentation.

From delicate canapés to thoughtfully paired drinks, every item was chosen to reflect the tone of the gallery event. Our experienced team worked discreetly to ensure smooth service throughout all three days of the exhibition.

As an established gallery caterer in London, Peapod & Co. was proud to support Enchanted, a landmark solo show that marked a key moment in Assel Sargaskayeva’s career. The private view was a celebration of bold new work, and our event catering was designed to match the ambition and creative energy of the artist.

Our role included full food and drink management, setup and staffing. The presentation was refined, and the menu was crafted to complement the exhibition setting and artistic experience.
