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

To provide a fully tailored quote basically we need as much information as possible. Whilst we appreciate that if the event is a long way in advance final details such as confirmed venue, serving time etc may not be available at the time of making your request we still need the basic details in full such as number of guests, area in which the event will take place, and a good understanding of what you require (for example the basic hog roast, or would you like the hog roast and side dishes so it becomes a plated meal rather than served in a roll). The last thing to bear in mind is the needs of your guests, try to have a definite number for special dietary requirements, not just vegetarians also consider those who are gluten free.

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

Research the hog roast companies that provide you with quotes. Do not be afraid to ask for contact details of previous clients - we have details of previous customers we can provide who will give an honest and impartial review of the service we provide. Others should be willing to do the same. Secondly, check that the company you engage to cater for your event have the appropriate certificates and insurances to carry out the work they do. We hold all relevant insurances and hygiene certificates, and will happily supply copies to your or your venue as required.

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

We are a husband and wife family run business. We both trained at Stratford-on-Avon Catering College and are qualified chefs, however we went to work in different industries. Through our work running a local Sports and Social Club we had provided several hog roasts using hired equipment and felt that we had the passion and enthusiasm to turn it in to a business and provide a bespoke personal service. With a menu tailored to your requirements coupled with a high quality, professional setup to make the catering for your event look and taste perfect, we are sure to blow anyone's socks off!

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 several bookings through Add to Event, all of which have been a great success and have lead to both repeat bookings and referrals. Weddings are always great fun to do and it is always a privilege to be involved in the planning and delivery of a bride and grooms special day. We recently catered for a wedding where the bride and groom had married abroad and wanted to throw a party for their friends and family back home at their own pub. The day could not have been better, we were able to supply exactly what was asked for in a professional way and everyone at the event including the bride and groom gave us fantastic feedback and its days like that why we love the hospitality business! I have recommended Add to Event to other suppliers we have met and also we refer anyone who contacts us directly who's functions we can not accommodate to Add to Event to find an alternative supplier.
