Supplier Spotlight

Quite Simply Catering Limited

Quite Simply Catering offers a full range of catering services around Surrey, not only do they provide delicious menus but also a fantastic team of waiting staff to help make an event run smoothly. They have some good questions to ask when looking to book a caterer for your occasion.

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

To be able to provide a full quote for your event the following information is required. Your event date, the number of guests you are expecting, some basic details about the venue where your event is being held and a brief description of what style of catering you would like at your event. From this, we can put together a quote and send across some menus and options.

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

Always ask the provider if they are able to meet for a site visit, ideally at the venue where your event is being held this offers you a chance to meet your caterer and for us to view your venue to see what catering equipment may be required. Ask questions about our menus and where we source our food, how we ensure food safety when preparing meals for guests with allergies. Ask us for reviews and what style of jobs we have done before, we are always happy to share our events with you.

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

I started this business after my first child, to offer a good work/life balance for my family, I started small and have grown Quite Simply Catering to where I am now. I have always worked in catering and hospitality from every side of this industry, I have a wealth of knowledge from the last 16 years. I thoroughly enjoy this industry, getting to know my clients and help them personalise their events to make each one special and memorable.

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

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. Once the food is sorted, why not look to hire a DJ for your event to really get the party started!
