Frequently Asked Questions About Event Catering

What types of events do you cater for?

Caterers typically service a variety of events including weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, anniversaries, and more. They can adapt to different themes and gathering sizes.

How far do you travel in Northamptonshire?

Normally within a 25-mile radius of our base, but we are really flexible and do please ask – we are here to provide you with a very professional and helpful service.

How do I choose a good Catering Company?

To choose a good caterer, consider their experience, reviews, menu options, flexibility, and whether they can accommodate dietary restrictions. It’s also helpful to schedule a tasting session.

What should I ask a potential event caterer?

Important questions include their availability on your event date, menu customisation options, experience with similar events, pricing and payment terms, and any additional services they offer such as staffing or equipment rental.

Can event caterers accommodate dietary restrictions?

Many caterers offer options for dietary restrictions such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly menus. Always communicate your needs clearly and in advance.

What is included in event catering services?

Catering services typically include food preparation, delivery, setup, serving, and cleanup. Some caterers also provide tableware, linens, and staff for serving and bartending.

Are references available?

Absolutely – Don’t be afraid to ask! Copies of thank you letters and clients you can contact are readily available.

How far in advance should I book an event caterer?

It’s advisable to book an event caterer as early as possible, ideally several months in advance, especially for popular dates like weekends and holidays. Some caterers may accommodate last-minute bookings depending on their availability and the complexity of the menu. However, it’s always best to plan ahead.

What are the average costs of a catering company per person?

The cost of catering per person varies widely based on the menu, type of service (buffet, plated, etc.), and location. On average, it can range from £8 to £50 per person.

Do you provide event catering staff?

We always supply a fully qualified Chef (dressed in full whites) and an assistant to serve.

Do event caterers provide tastings?

Many event caterers offer tastings so clients can sample their menu options before making a final decision. This is often done after an initial consultation and can sometimes be complimentary or for a small fee.

What about Health & Safety issues and Public Liability Insurance for Catering Companies?

All our staff have the appropriate Food Hygiene Certificates and our company has the necessary product and public liability insurance in place. (Copies are available upon request)

How does payment work with a Catering Company?

We require a 50% deposit to confirm the booking.

We will contact you at least 14 days prior to your function to discuss final numbers and precise timings and at this point the final payment then becomes due
