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

The TeaPod is all about weddings - from the hen party to the Bridal shower, to the Breakfast - on the big day and often on the morning after - not forgetting the Big Day itself!
During the week, we also regularly cater for children's birthdays and staff treat days, because let's face it, our food is fun - crepes, waffles and milkshakes alongside lots of speciality teas, hot chocolate and of course, some coffees!
Our vibe is professional but chilled and from the great feedback we receive, it seems we hit the right balance.

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

Make sure you are clear about your requirements - if you let us know the type of food you are looking for and what type of event you are having it will help us tailor our menu accordingly.
Our cuisine is vegetarian and often we respond only to find out the client really wanted a BBQ but had one veggie to cater for!
If you can tell us about the site and the amenities available that is a great help as sometimes it dictates what we can put on the menu, for example if there is power we can run two waffles machines which is handy if you have a lot of guests - if the event is in a field and we need to be self-sufficient, our crepe plates and hot water supply run off LPG and we can bring our own generator!

The more information we have at the quote stage the better it is for you and you will get a better response!

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

I wanted to offer food that was a pure treat and frustrated by event catering focused on coffee and limited veggie or vegan options, I decided to provide an alternative and The TeaPod was born. Alongside crepes, waffles and milkshakes - we offer 26 types of tea and for weddings and special occasions, we will create a signature blend that can be served anytime and even be packaged as the wedding favour, which is a little bit different and very classy.
As a vegetarian myself, I found crepes and waffles were often the best choice when eating from a food trailer, quick to make and you can change the menu so your regular customers do not get bored.
I love what I do and I think customers can tell!

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

A recent review had the heading "Oh wow, what a way to do evening food!" It was for a wedding and we were placed in the outside courtyard of a very pretty listed building, so guests were able to find us easily and we could hear when the band took a break so we were prepared for the rush!
We had fun creating a really personalised menu based on the couple's love of French food and we served chevre crepes and the chocolate-orange milkshakes mixed with Cointreau about which the groom was especially pleased!
I reserve a big portion of my budget for the Add to Event platform and it generates steady business for both weddings and corporate events and I post all of the reviews on my Instagram account and you will see I credit the Add to Event more than anyone else!
