Dear Busy Event Planner,
Is it your responsibility to organise the catering for the big corporate launch? Perhaps you’ve been told you’ve got to plan the Christmas party but everyone has different dietary requirements and you have no idea where to start? Are you worried that you won’t be able to pull off the outstanding food your boss expects and it will affect your career?
Imagine the embarrassment of ending up with bland, boring food that everyone turns their noses up at. Or someone having an allergic reaction to their food due to a mistake and ending up in hospital!
The last thing you want is for everyone to blame you for terrible catering that winds up costing your company a new client. Or worse, never being trusted to be in charge of anything ever again.
We know that when you’re planning your company’s big event that you need to know everything is going to be perfect.
You’re imagining delicious, mouth-watering food that will really take your guests tastebuds on an adventure they’ll never forget. You want the catering to be exactly as you’ve planned rather than the usual dull buffet food. You want food that will have people taking notice and telling you it was the highlight of the event.
With bespoke menus you can create the ideal food for your event. Whether it’s canapés being served by our professional, uniformed staff to tantalise your guests on arrival, stunning grazing tables to amaze the eyes or a full three-course meal presented in style, your food will be tailored to your vision.
You’ll be able to focus on your guests and when it comes time to eat you’ll be able to tuck in with everyone else without reserve and enjoy the delicious feast we’ve prepared for you.
If that sounds good, you’ll want to keep reading and here’s why…
