Our Story

Great Food, Great People, Unforgettable Events

The Team Behind Scotland’s Favourite Private Catering

At The Lunchbox Boys, we believe that food should do more than fill a plate. It should set the tone, spark conversation, and leave your guests smiling from ear to ear.

Whether it’s a castle wedding, a big boardroom do, or a cosy gathering with your nearest and dearest, we’re here to provide exceptional catering and service.

We’ve been lucky enough to cater some of Scotland’s most incredible events over the years, and we’ve learned one thing: no two days (or menus) should ever be the same.

We build every enquiry from the ground up, crafted around your vibe, your people, and your story.

Meet the Team Behind the Magic

We’re Sam and Dougal - good mates and proud Cairngorms locals.

What started as a few healthy lunch deliveries quickly grew into something bigger (and tastier), earning us a nod at the Highlands & Islands Food and Drink Awards and sparking the idea for The Lunchbox Boys.

We’ve built a brilliant team of 70 around us, bringing decades of experience in private and event catering to the table. With backgrounds in fine dining, large-scale events, and private cheffing, we’re united by a shared passion for exceptional food and standout service.

From intimate dinners to multi-course wedding feasts, we thrive on delivering fresh, creative, locally inspired food — always with quality, care, and a smile.

Our Philosophy - What Matters to Us

Local, Seasonal, Always Delicious

Scotland’s got one of the best natural larders in the world, and we’re proud to show it off on every dish.

Our chefs work closely with local farmers, fishermen, and producers, ensuring that every plate reflects:

Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing – Championing local, seasonal ingredients that support Scotland’s food industry

Creative Menus – Tailored to your tastes, dietary requirements, and event style

Flawless Execution – Delivered with precision and passion, every time

To us, catering isn’t just about food - it’s about creating memorable experiences that bring people together.

"I don't even know where to begin with thanking you and the team. You were absolutely incredible and everyone in the team is great at what they do. Every single one of our guests raved about the food, with everyone saying it's the best wedding food they have ever had. It was the perfect first meal to have as a married couple and I'm so delighted it was delivered by you guys! You were an absolute dream to work with and I would recommend you all to absolutely anyone"

Thank you, Rachael and Ross
