Catering for events yourself is a big personal responsibility which requires careful planning and onsite presence throughout the process. You will also need access to the correct catering equipment, staff and a large enough provisions for preparation and storage of the food.
Outsourcing your catering requirements for an event can help you take the stress away from event planning. Onsite Caterers will come to your site and plan a menu through with you, to tailor your event food requirements. Onsite and Outsourced Catering help can be for events such as Weddings and engagements, Proms, Cocktail Parties, Luncheons and Dinner Parties, Corporate functions, Launch parties, Shop opening, Meetings, Funerals, Christening, Communions, Confirmations and Birthday parties and family celebrations.
The taste of the food is important, but also so is the presentation of the food to guests. An outsourced caterer can let you decide on how the food is presented, as well as offering previous photos of previous events to customize to your event. Dietary requirements and ingredients for guests can be sourced and catered for such as Nut Allergies, Vegetarian or even Halal only meat. Onsite Catering can also use disaster recovery techniques to prepare for the worst situations such as power loss or weather changes to ensure your event runs smoothly as possible.
Food prepared for these events can range from a 5 – 7 Course Meal, A Buffet with Canapé's, a hog roast or even a normal sit down meal with Family and Friends! Another advantage of utilizing an onsite caterer, is they can also provide advice as well as recommend reliable supplies for other Catering needs such as Wine to go with the meal, Wedding Cake Creation and waiting staff to serve the food.
