What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

To be able to give the best proposal to a customer, the first thing we look for is the type of event they're looking to host and how many people this is for. After that, it's important to let us know the types of food and how many people it is for. With this information, we will tailor our menus to give you exactly what's needed for the best price.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

A big thing, is to ask the caterer about their premises. Also, it's good to know you're a priority. We're a purpose built facility that only does catering, so everything is made to order - we're not a cafe trying to cater too!

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

We have always based our beliefs on three principles: that food should be more about fun than convenience, that our catering menus should avoid pretence at all costs and that variety is always a welcome addition to anyone's daily eating pattern. These are the principles we stand by in choosing and creating the food we offer for a variety of events ranging from training meetings through to new product launches. Our food is a product of its ingredients, so we always use fresh quality supplies from trusted suppliers.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

We had one event that we catered for last week, and the whole process start to finish was really simple. The customer had specified ideas of what they needed and I was able to put an idea together and send it over. We conversed back and forth to tweak it, and everything went off without a hitch. Great feedback from them on our service and we wouldn't have got there without Add to Event!
