How Can a Lunch Cover Security Guard Keep Your Business Safe in Central London?

Writer's picture: Fahrenheit SecurityFahrenheit Security

Shops, offices, and reception areas in Central London need security at all times. But when your in-house security guard or front-of-house team takes their lunch break, who is keeping an eye on your business? Leaving a retail store on Oxford Street or a corporate reception in Mayfair unattended can be a risk.

This is where a lunch cover security guard comes in. Instead of hiring an extra full-time security officer just to cover an hour or two, you can book a trained, SIA-licensed security professional for only the time you need. This is a cost-effective, flexible way to ensure your business remains protected during break times without the expense of hiring a full-day guard.


At Fahrenheit Security, we provide meal relief security officers across Westminster, Mayfair, Fitzrovia, Marylebone, and Soho. Our head office is opposite Bond Street Tube Station, and with our large pool of security staff already working in the area, we can get a guard to you quickly.


What Types of Businesses Need a Meal Relief Security Officer?

If your business has customers, clients, or valuable assets on-site, you need someone to maintain security and deter threats at all times. Even a short 30 to 60-minute gap can leave you exposed.


Our service is designed for:

  • Retail stores and boutiques on Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Bond Street.

  • Corporate offices and HQ receptions in Mayfair, Fitzrovia, and Westminster.

  • Luxury brands, high-end fashion, and jewellery stores in Marylebone and Soho.

  • Banks, hotels, showrooms, and members' clubs that require professional security.

  • High-footfall commercial buildings needing temporary front-of-house security.


Having a break cover security guard means there is always a trained professional on-site, keeping an eye on things while your staff take their well-earned lunch.


How Does the Lunch Cover Security Service Work?

Booking a security guard for lunch cover is simple. You tell us the time you need coverage, and we send a guard who is already working nearby. This means there is no waiting around or paying for long shifts when you only need an hour.

What You Get with Our Lunch Cover Security Guards:

  • A fully licensed, SIA-approved security officer who arrives on time.

  • Coverage for front-of-house, retail security, or reception duties while your staff take a break.

  • No full-day security costs – you only pay for the time you need, plus travel.

  • A professional, well-presented guard who understands the area and your security needs.

  • Immediate access to guards already stationed across Central London, ensuring quick response times.


Our meal relief security officers handle everything from monitoring CCTV, preventing theft, and checking visitor access to assisting customers and maintaining a visible security presence.


Why Is Our Lunch Cover Security Guard Service Different?

Many companies struggle to find reliable, short-term security cover because most security firms only offer full-day contracts. At Fahrenheit Security, we already have guards working in Central London who can step in for short shifts. This makes it easy for us to provide flexible, cost-effective cover without the hassle of hiring additional full-time security staff.

We are one of the only security firms in London offering this service at scale. With guards already positioned on Bond Street, Oxford Street, Regent Street, and across Westminster, Mayfair, and Soho, we can provide fast and efficient coverage for shops, offices, and corporate buildings.


How Much Does a One-Hour Security Guard Cost in Central London?

The cost of hiring a lunch cover security guard depends on your location and the length of coverage required. However, our service is designed to be more affordable than hiring a full-day guard. You only pay for:

  • The time the guard is on-site (e.g., 60 minutes for a standard lunch break).

  • Minimal travel time for the officer to reach your premises.


This means you are not locked into expensive contracts and only pay for security when you

actually need it. Contact us today for a free quote. We are extremely reasonably priced and if we commit to a job we deliver.
