Supplier Spotlight

Catertasty

Catertasty is a catering company based in Blandford, Dorset with 20 years experience, priding themselves on a professional and friendly service. Check the experience of your caterer is their advice to ensure a smooth running event.

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 a potential venue, and the type of catering they require. 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?

Firstly, ask the provider about the product they are offering, I wouldn't want my hair cut by someone who didn't know much about hair so why hire a caterer or catering equipment from someone or a company who knows little about catering. Experience is key!

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

Catertasty is run by husband and wife team Lee & Hannah Bardsley and is based near Blandford, Dorset. With over 20 years of experience in the catering & hospitality industry. We pride ourselves on providing freshly cooked tasty food along with professional and friendly service always putting our customer's needs first.

We really can cater for all your needs.

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

Wow!! There have been lots of bookings through Add to Event that I am personally so happy about. If I had to pick one, it would be our hog roast catering for a wedding in Blandford for 300 people. The reviews and feedback were amazing. The client and their guests were very happy and are using us again for their next event. I have recommended and recommend Add to Event to all my catering friends in the industry, as well as anyone who does something that is relevant to the hospitality and events sector. Add to Event is still growing, I do my part to promote the platform.

Whether it’s a designer wedding cake, fish and chip cones, or a buffet, food is great way to get people talking. The choice is yours; menus are often customisable and dietary requirements and preferences catered for.

From private party catering chefs and silver service to a catering food van for outside mobile catering, offering pizzas, ice cream or even cocktails. Complete your party catering supplies by requesting a quote from our extensive list of party caterers.
