Finding the best outside caterer

It is an extremely important decision to choose a caterer for an event. Corporate, or private, large or small, choosing the right Caterer is imperative. There are many catering companies in the market so you need to do your homework and choose carefully in order to guarantee the success of your event. This article gives you a step-by-step guide to choosing the right Caterer along with a useful checklist.

Preparation

I live in the Brighton area and thought it important to seek the services of a Brighton catering company. Before seeking private catering you need to think about your catering needs and gather together information that a Caterer will need to know:

• What is the time and date of the event?
• Have you considered a budget for the event?
• What is the location of the event? (Or do you require a venue?)
• Is there a kitchen at the venue?
• What number of guest do you think you will have?
• Are any of your guest in need of special dietary consideration?
• Does your event have a theme?
• Will you be requiring a particular style of cuisine?
• Do you think you will need decorations, table setting, flowers?

As soon as you have answered these questions, you will know exactly what type of services that you will be requiring. A great Caterer will offer a complete service to save your running around organizing things separately. Having everything organised by one company will help your event run smoothly and cut down your workload.

What to look for

First and foremost, does the Caterer offer a range of menu options including the particular cuisine you are after? Most good Caterers will have detailed listing for their on their website. If all else fails, you can contact the catering company and request the information in an email or fax.
