The caterers offer a wide range of catering options including canape receptions, sit-down dinners, buffets, BBQs, afternoon teas, street food, themed menus and fine dining. Many can cater for dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergen-specific needs.

Hiring caterers is essential for weddings, corporate events, private parties, galas, product launches and any event where food and drink are needed. It is advisable to discuss the event format, guest numbers and any dietary needs with the caterer when requesting a quote.

Many caterers provide serving staff, crockery, cutlery, glassware and all kitchen equipment needed. Some also provide table linen and decorations. For the best experience, confirm exactly what is included in the quote, as packages vary between providers.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
