What makes good catering the best catering? Here’s a clue – it doesn’t involve set menus and routine service. It’s no longer enough to just look and taste good. Instead, modern catering that really stands out is unique, bespoke and designed especially for the occasion.
Today’s catering clients want food that appeals to all the senses, reflects their personality, uses quality ingredients, and becomes a memorable part of the event experience. So, tick all those boxes and you’ll be well on the way to making your event catering a banging success!
Going the extra mile in your event catering
Here at Thomas The Caterer, we believe that, with no exception, event catering should have plenty of heart, soul – and of course WOW factor. The only way to achieve this is to take real time and effort getting to know our clients’ tastes and visions, not to mention getting a true feel for the venue and type of occasion which we are catering for.
Whether it’s a wedding or a Corporate do, event catering should be an experience in itself. A part of what makes the occasion a success as a whole – and that’s never going to be the case if you’re churning out the same old stuff every time.
In addition, the food has to be super fresh, vibrant and preferably locally sourced. That’s because freshly prepared food delivers stronger flavour, better presentation, and a more premium feel for guests. The extra effort to add freshness, flavour, vibrancy and colour should leave your guests talking about the catering for some time to come, instead of barely remembering that they even ate.
Why is it so important to go local with your catering?
It’s not just the freshness of locally sourced food that makes it stand out so much (although it’s definitely a major plus point!), Locally sourced produce also supports seasonality, quality, and sustainability while allowing menus to feel more authentic and connected to the area where the event is being held. Catering success is all about having your event catering complement the location and theme of the occasion, and using locally sourced produce is a great way to help make it happen.
So, you’ve gone local and your produce is high quality and super fresh – what else can you do to make your event catering top of the class?
Carefully curated menus designed together
The way to achieve catering brilliance has to be collaboration with the clients and the thought process that goes into it; a commitment to making your catering unique and bespoke, rather than offering one size fits all generic catering packages. Be prepared to be different,
focusing on making memorable experiences, not just logistics and put the effort into knowing exactly who you are catering for – this is without doubt a key to success, especially at higher-end events.
