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

To provide an accurate quote, we need to know as much as they do about the event they are organising. Obviously, the date and start time, as well as how long the trade will last and whether there are any obstacles. This could be the location, dietary requirements or lack of power and water. We also need to know how many they want catering for and what they have in mind - Fish and chips, Burgers, Hotdogs Sausages! The more they tell us, the more accurate we can be with the quote

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

We would check their reviews and see what other people are saying about their services. Always ask about the products and their limitations, strengths and weaknesses. This will help you formulate whether the provider is right for you and give you confidence in booking them. We'd also ask if they can offer something slightly different. Even if you don't necessarily want it, it is good to see how accommodating they are to your needs.

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

We are a family run business established in 2013. We all love what we do.
Whilst enjoying it, We had this overwhelming urge to have our own business and offer our customers great quality produce at a fantastic value. We knew we could offer a better product to the public at a better price so why work hard for someone else when you can work hard for yourself.

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

We rely on Add to Event to gain events as we don't have our own regular pitch. We have been with Add to Event for under one year now and we can not recommend them highly enough.
At any event that we get talking to other traders, we always mention them, as we believe it is a great platform for any business to be a part of. Every event we have done has been successful. Everyone enjoyed the food and through Add to Event, we now have a great contact and will be back next year with the site being twice the size. Through this platform, we have gained many positive events and formed great working relationships. We will always recommend the website as we would be lost without it.
