Who are we?
Pique was founded in 2017 as a picnic delivery company and since then has grown into one of London’s most sought after caterers for breakfast & lunch events.

The dream was always to open a café and this dream became a reality in January 2024 when we opened our first site on Lavender Hill. The café is popular both in the week and weekends as both a breakfast, brunch and lunch spot. It seats up to 40 inside with seating for another 20 outside. The café has gone from strength to strength and is becoming a real part of the Lavender Hill community. We run a fortnightly book club, ran a successful first ‘pub’ quiz night and are looking to grow this side of things.
Our mission is to bring fun, delicious, innovative, restaurant quality food to Londoners, whether that be at home, the office, park or our café. We focus on the informal nature of picnic dining- the relaxed feeling of being with friends, with easy to eat, crowd pleasing food. Our focus on sustainability, quality and style sets us apart from the rest.
