Whatever the job — tell Patch in plain words, with the area, date and rough budget. It reads the detail and comes back with a short, reasoned shortlist, and says why each one fits.
Tell us what you need, when, where, and roughly what you want to spend — in plain English. No filters to fiddle with.
Patch reads your brief, works out what actually matters in it, and returns a short set ranked by fit — with notes explaining why each one made the list.
Reviews come only from real enquiries, so ratings mean something. See prices, availability and distance — then get in touch directly.
No commission and no middleman. You contact whoever you like and agree terms between you — Patch never takes a cut or sits in the transaction.
Listings show what they start at, so you can rule things out before you spend an hour on enquiries.
A review can only be left by someone who sent a real enquiry through Patch, so there is a genuine job behind every one.
No commission. No per-lead fees. List for free, and upgrade when you want to read every enquiry and rank alongside paid listings. Clients come to you — already describing the job, the date and the budget.
List your servicePatch is a marketplace for hiring local services in London. You describe a job in plain words — the occasion, area, budget and guest count — and Patch returns a short shortlist of vendors that fit, with a note on why each one made the list. It is the UK London services marketplace at hireonpatch.com, not to be confused with the US news network Patch.com.
Yes, for buyers Patch is free and needs no account. You describe what you need, get a shortlist, and enquire directly. Patch takes no commission and never sits in the transaction — you agree terms with the vendor yourself.
Patch reads your plain-language brief, works out what actually matters in it — the kind of service, the occasion, budget, scale and location — and searches vendor listings by meaning rather than exact keywords. It returns a ranked shortlist rather than a keyword page.
No. Listings are self-declared, and Patch does not vet businesses. Reviews can only be left by someone who made a real enquiry, so ratings reflect genuine jobs — but you should always confirm any licences, insurance or certifications that matter for your booking directly with the vendor.
Patch covers London. Mobile food and catering is the first vertical, with 500+ live vendors across more than 27 areas, and the platform is built to expand to photographers, DJs, mobile bars, cleaners and trades.
