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

For us to provide a comprehensive quote to a customer, ideally we need the event date, a brief explanation of the type of event they are hosting, the estimated number of guests, and potential venue and whether it's an indoor or outdoor event. From this, we can use our experience and expertise to put together a suitable equipment list and design.

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

Look for the quality of the product. Try and use businesses that are passionate about what they do and try to use locally sourced produce. Some burger vans use the cheapest product possible and sell the product for large amounts. Support the new starters of this world as they are not established yet and need the limelight opposed to the huge catering trailers. Often you will find they can offer a more personalised service.

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

I always wanted to do catering so I started doing kettle corn - the traditional American pop corn - and it failed in a big way! Then I tried Chipstix and borrowed a lot of money to reclaim a little trailer which everyone thought I was mad for doing! It was a 4 burner Pitco in a 6ft trailer. They weren't doing much so a friend said "Do chips and sausage!" and they were more popular. I bought a grill to provide burgers and bacon in a gazebo - now I do great burgers & sausages, and I am looking to buy a paella pan to expand my services!

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

I bid for a job at Stoneacre Mazda through Add to Event and after speaking and communicating I got the bid! I was doing Steak & Stilton burgers with Guinness and beef all on a toasted floured roll with fresh cheese. Everyone was raving about how good they were. A guy came up and said they were amazing and added me and my page on Facebook. He then shared the page and this guy turned out to be Carlie Butler - Henderson Mini racing ambassador and brother to Vicki Butler Henderson from TVs 5th gear! I was really chuffed with my day, thank you Add to Event!
