What Bespoke Means to Us

Your Occasion.
Our Masterpiece.

At L'Chaims, bespoke kosher catering is not a service — it is a craft. Our executive chef and event team work alongside you from the very first consultation, building a menu, an atmosphere and an experience that is entirely, uniquely yours.

Whether you envision an intimate Shabbat dinner for twelve in your home, a corporate luncheon for eighty in a Glasgow boardroom, or a five-course wedding banquet for three hundred in a grand hotel, we bring the same meticulous attention to every detail — from the choice of entrée to the folding of the final napkin.

And throughout everything — every dish, every garnish, every drop of wine — our Glatt Kosher certification under the Glasgow Beth Din remains absolute. Bespoke at L'Chaims means never compromising on kashrus.

Everything Included

👨‍🍳
Personal Chef Consultation
Your event begins with a private meeting with our Executive Chef, Moshe Friedman. Together you design every course — from canapés to dessert — tailored to your palate, your traditions, and your guests' preferences. A tasting session is included for all events over 50 guests.
📋
Bespoke Menu Design
No two L'Chaims bespoke menus are identical. We draw on Scottish produce, Israeli flavours, Ashkenazi classics and modern European cuisine to create a menu that is yours alone. Menus are presented as beautifully designed booklets for your guests at each event.
✡
Dedicated Mashgiach
Every bespoke event is attended by a GBD-appointed mashgiach throughout. He travels with the team, oversees all preparation and service, and provides a signed kashrut certificate for each event. This is included in every package, not an optional extra.
🏗️
Full Venue Assessment
Our catering manager visits your venue in advance to assess kitchen facilities, plan the kosher setup, and identify any kashering requirements. We bring our own complete portable kosher kitchen when needed, ensuring perfect kashrus regardless of the venue's history.
🌸
Styling & Presentation
L'Chaims works with trusted partners in floral design, linen, crockery and table styling to ensure the presentation matches the quality of the food. From simple elegant tablecloths to full-scale themed décor, we can assist with every visual element of your event.
🍷
Curated Kosher Wine Service
Our sommelier selects a bespoke wine list for each event from our cellar of Israeli, French, Italian and New World kosher wines — all Yayin Mevushal, all GBD approved. Wine pairing options are available for seated dinners, and a dedicated wine steward can be provided.
🎂
Bespoke Occasion Cakes
Our pastry team creates custom kosher celebration cakes for weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and other simchas. All cakes are fully pareve (suitable with meat menus) or dairy, produced in our kosher kitchen under mashgiach supervision, and designed in collaboration with you.
🚚
White-Glove Delivery & Setup
Our team handles all logistics — transport in sealed, certified kosher vehicles, setup at the venue, service throughout your event, and full clearance afterwards. You focus entirely on your guests; we handle everything else from arrival to the final clean-up.
♿
Dietary Accommodations
Within the framework of Glatt Kosher Mehadrin, we accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements — nut-free, gluten-free, vegan, low-sodium, diabetic-friendly and more. All special dietary dishes are clearly labelled and managed separately by our team throughout service.

What Our Clients Say

Bespoke Reviews

★★★★★
"We used L'Chaims for our daughter's wedding reception — 240 guests, five courses, full bar. Every single detail was perfect. Chef Moshe created a menu that was the most beautiful food I have ever tasted at any kosher event, anywhere in the world. The mashgiach was wonderful. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
— Miriam G., Glasgow (Wedding Reception, 240 guests)
★★★★★
"We commissioned L'Chaims to cater our firm's annual client dinner — a kosher requirement for our Jewish partners and clients. The food was extraordinary, the service impeccable, and the kashrut certificate gave us complete confidence. Several clients have since asked for L'Chaims' details for their own events."
— David M., Senior Partner, Glasgow Law Firm (Corporate Dinner)
★★★★★
"The Shabbat catering service is absolutely remarkable. L'Chaims delivered a full Shabbat dinner for 30 guests to our home — challah, soup, roast chicken, dessert, the works — everything arrived hot, perfectly presented and entirely kosher. Our guests were amazed. It felt like having a five-star restaurant come to us."
— Rabbi Y. Bloom, Glasgow (Home Shabbat Dinner, 30 guests)
