Corporate caterers London - FAQ’s

"Are you thinking of throwing a corporate event in London but have no idea where to start in terms of the catering? Here are some answers that should point you in the right direction of your first successful corporate event."

I want to hold a corporate event but I do not know where?

The venue can make an event. First of all you need to establish what kind of event you want to hold. Will be a decadent party for over a hundred or an intimate catered dinner for ten? Whichever you decide, you can then think of a location. Most established corporate catering companies have affiliations with top London venues. If they do not have a specific one that you like, then they will be able to offer you advice on choosing an appropriate venue.

How do I choose the menu?

Corporate caterers in London often have set menus to give you an idea of what to expect at your event. This is not to say you can not put in your own ideas. Sometimes the menus can act more of a guideline, especially if you decide to theme your event. If this is the case then caterers can create a menu to match the theme.

Canapés or sit down meal?

The decision to go with either canapés or a sit down meal has to do with what you want to achieve from your event. Do you want to clinch a deal or thank your clients for their dedication to your business in order to keep them your clients? If you want to impress clients with a large party and the emphasis being more on networking then canapés is perhaps the better option. If you would like an opportunity to discuss business then a sit down meal may be more appropriate.

How should I work out budget?

The budget is generally planned per head whether is be for canapés or a sit down meal. If you have an idea of how many guests you are expecting and whether you are having sat down meals of canapés the corporate caterers will be able to give you a clearer idea of how much you can expect to pay. However, if you have an overall budget in your head then you can put this to the corporate caterers and they will do their best to work within the guidelines.
