What You Need to Know
Ask your caterer if their prices are per head? If so, what does this include? alcohol, crockery, cutlery, glassware, waiting staff, etc; and what type of service is this for: silver service, buffet, food stations. Also how many of their staff will there be in relation to how many guests that are coming? Are there any hidden charges like corkage?
You should, where possible, arrange a tasting visit, prior to booking your caterer. At this tasting, you should also be able to look at the dinnerware and accessories that the catering company has available for your event. It is also a good idea to check for references – not only for the food, but also for the service provided.
The Law!
All catering companies need to adhere to health and safety laws and if you consider supplying the food yourself, you should consider the rules and regulations that govern the health, safety and hygiene that is required when dealing with the preparation of food.
