Maybe you feel like you deserve more? 2010 has been a really tough year with concerns about the recession and possible redundancy, UK workers should really be getting on their employers backs to pull out all the stops this festive season. A great way to make your Noel-based knees-up go off with a bang is to let an outside catering firm take the burden of preparing the food and organizing the venue.

Imagine restaurant quality food served up any way you want. Whether you require a formal sit down meal, a finger buffet or even something more extravagant like a hog roast, this new breed of private catering companies can pander to your every whim. Food is not usually top of the agenda for most Christmas party goers but most outside caterers now put as much effort into their array of exciting beers, wines and cocktails as they do their grub.

Many caterers now even offer parties with a distinct theme.Your imagination is the only limiting factor! Want a Christmas do with a toga-dress code and a Greek Mezze buffet? Roy from maintainance may not be too made-up about it, but outside caterers can make it happen. Make sure you have a change from the norm this holiday season, get your company’s HR department to look into outside catering. Yule be happy you did!

Many wedding caterers exist within the UK – some of which offer corporate, outside or other private services, but specialise in the supplying wedding catering.

Couples are often presented with a worrying choice. They may be looking for a relaxed hog roast or wedding barbecue, rather than a sit down dinner. Maybe the preference will be for an Indian or Chinese banquet? Whatever is the choice of theme, they will definitely be on the lookout for the cake! Whether the day is going to be formal and elegant, or relaxed and low key, you can be sure there are caterers out there who fit the bill.

The meal at the wedding is the time when everyone from both sides – families and friends – can sit down together in a relaxed fashion. Of course, by choosing the right wedding caterers at the very outset, a couple can be sure that a team with relevant skills and experience will be responsible for getting the food and drink right on the day, so that all they have to do is worry about the vows!

Wedding catering can vary hugely in price and in product. Casual, less formal and more low key weddings often benefit from smaller, more relaxed. But if the cost is not an issue, then nothing is impossible – you can find companies who will provide extravagancies like caviar in icebars and the best vintage pink champagne.

Number 1, the catering business is about providing food and drink to the customer at their choice of location. Catering as a business is rapidly growing within a lucrative market. Many caters are moving away from simply serving food or drink and adding event planning, outdoor event planning and other food related services into their portfolio of services.

Secondly, private catering companies still focus on providing food and drinks to any location, although it is wise to choose someone who knows the location. Take my case for example, I live in Brighton – so it would be ideal to choose a Brighton catering firm. They can now provide you a full service that can satisfy all your wishes and desires. Many of these companies are equipped to provide music, decorations, furniture and even entertainment in addition to the food and beverage. Even if you need an event location, the caterer can supply one for you. Outdoor event catering involves creating an entire atmosphere for the party. The catering company is expected to provide and complete all of the details regarding the party, whilst staying in budget and avoiding mistakes.

Third, the guest numbers and the menu complexity are generally the factors that determine the eventual cost of the outdoor event. Additional services provided by catering companies are usually charged on a per-item basis. Gratuity and services charges for waiting staff are also a charge for big events. However, it may be a fruitful decision to speak with your accountant when it comes to the eventual disbursement of cost.

A good caterer does more than one might think. They have the necessary training in food selection and preparation, staging a reception,serving and cleaning up afterwards. Some catering companies will offer to decorate for you, supply the bar staff and possibly provide the cake. Some catering companies may only be interested in providing the food and clearing up afterwards.

If, like me you are searching for private catering in Brighton, keep in mind these things:

• Find a privatecaterering company with a good reputation whose food you can sample before signing a contract.
• Make appointments and interview many different caterers to find the right one for you. Some catering companies will provide you with phone numbers of previous clients who can be used as a reference.
• Many reception sites have their own catering services, so when you’re looking for a hall, decide if it has what you want in both catering and atmosphere.
• Check to see that the cater will cover for the following: electricity, lighting, tents, tables, linens, chairs etc, and not just the meal.

Often the cost of beverages is forgotten when a caterer is being considered. This can really send the price rocketing depending on what you want to serve for drinks:

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?
• Do you have a budget in mind?
• What is the location of the event? (Or perhaps you are looking for a venue?)
• Is there a kitchen at the venue?
• How many guests are you expecting?
• Do any of your guests have special dietary requirements?
• Does your event have a theme?
• Do you desire a particular style of cuisine?
• Do you require decorations, flowers, table settings?

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. If everything is organised by one company it will help it to go off smoothly and reduce 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.
