Mange

What Mange does

Mange is a London-based event catering company founded in 1993, operating from a single facility at 61 Central Street in Clerkenwell. The company delivers full-service catering — including workplace catering, corporate events, weddings, and large-scale functions supporting 20 to 500+ guests — to corporate and private clients across London, with a distinct niche serving the architectural and design community concentrated in the Clerkenwell area. Service scope spans food preparation, front-of-house staffing, event design, and end-to-end planning from conception to execution.

The business operates two complementary revenue streams. The core stream is bespoke event catering executed on a sales-led basis, with quote-based pricing and direct engagement to corporate clients (e.g., Selfridges, Pimco, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris) and private hosts. A secondary stream, branded Mange Space, rents a 400 sq ft studio/event space and a 1,700 sq ft commercial kitchen for third-party use in commercial shoots, cookery classes, product launches, and meetings.

Mange has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and operates as a privately held SME with a small named leadership (Director, plus Heads of Events, Finance, Event Management, Culinary, and Porter roles). Commercial positioning rests on 30+ years of brand reputation, an ESG-led operating model (100% electric delivery fleet, London Living Wage accreditation, MSC/ASC-certified sourcing, partnerships with Liberty Wines, Redber, Teapigs, and Belu), and an embedded venue-partner channel comprising at least eight London venues that generate referral-driven demand. The technology stack is minimal — a Webflow website and an active Instagram account — with no proprietary software, platform, or AI/ML capability disclosed.
