Searcys has shaped London’s dining scene for over 175 years, delivering exquisite experiences at some of the UK’s most historic venues.
Founded in 1847 by John Searcy, master confectioner to the Duke of Northumberland, the company quickly became the city’s first choice for grand events, ranging from royal weddings and opulent balls to historic coronations.
Today, Searcys remains one of the UK’s oldest and most trusted event caterers, known for fresh, seasonal and sustainable menus paired with exceptional Champagne and fine wines.
In January 2025, Searcys became the onsite catering partner of The Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn, bringing its signature style, expertise and warm hospitality to the venue.
With residencies at destinations such as The Pump Room at the Roman Baths and St Pancras International, Searcys continues to celebrate the best of British suppliers — including London Smoke and Cure’s signature salmon, Greyfriars English sparkling wine, and artisan Notes Coffee from East London.
At Searcys, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From sourcing seasonal British produce to reducing waste and championing ethical suppliers, we are committed to creating exceptional dining experiences that care for people, place, and planet.
Whether it’s a breakfast meeting, private dinner or drinks reception, every event at Gray’s Inn is enhanced by Searcys’ dedication to thoughtful, sustainable and responsibly sourced catering.
“I have had many complimentary emails saying the food was lovely, and it was! The red wine went down extremely well in every way! And the service was brilliant. From our point of view, probably the best event ever”
