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

M R Catering can give you a fully comprehensive quote. In order to obtain this, we just need a few details from you. When is your event? A brief description of the type of event i.e wedding catering/ corporate buffet. The estimated number of guests. From this, we can use our expertise to compile a quote and suggest the best ways in which we can help make your event a huge success.

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

Firstly, I would ask about the products they are offering, where they source the produce from and what menus they have. I would also ask them about what events they have done similar to yours. Secondly, I would want to know about the units they have, some caterers have food trucks some have Gazebos and some may give you a choice. In regards to the cooking equipment, what will they use to cook the food? The higher quality equipment the better the results.

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

M R Catering was born from a pasta food truck called Taglia-Tony. Street food gave us the platform to showcase our culinary skills to the general public, which in turn naturally developed us into the business we are today. We offer a wide range of menus including Italian, Mexican, Thai, American BBQ, Cold fork and hot fork buffets as well as canapes. We also run two staff canteens. We still keep our company ethos of customer satisfaction and care close to our hearts and have a dedicated team of highly professional chefs and waiters.

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

We have had many great events through Add to Event, however, if I had to pick just one! It would have to be, ISG men's health week. So, our task was to change the mindset of bacon/burger-eating, fry up for lunch eating builders to eat healthily. The event was one week long Monday - Friday and we provided a different lunch option every day with a salad and dessert. It needed to be different and it needed to be healthy and balanced. We achieved this and went down a storm! The feedback we received was beyond what we expected and the builders even asked for recipe cards. I would recommend Add to Event as a platform, as a small business owner it gets your name out and builds up a reputation for you.
