When people are invited to events, one of the first questions they ask is what’s on the menu? Particularly if the function is celebratory, it’s important to spend the time deliberating over the starter, main and dessert.
When the food is piping hot, well-presented and delicious, people remember. So too do they when it’s not up to standard.
The last thing you want is to spend months planning the perfect gala dinner, only for people to talk about the rubbery chicken, tasteless cheesecake and warm white wine.
Credible catering partners
While there are lots of catering companies in London, it’s important to choose those that come with a credible track record. Working with those who can provide testimonials and details for clients that actively book them time and time again is a good start.
At Glaziers Hall we work with Life’s Kitchen, our resident catering partner. Having such a close working relationship means that we can bring the catering and event planning together under one roof.
What’s more, as we have onsite kitchens, it means that we can have greater control over the food and service that we deliver to our clients and their guests. This takes some of the pressure from the planning and ensures that everyone is working together to create the very best experience.
Seasonal menus
Life’s Kitchen regularly updates the menus that they serve to reflect the seasons. As well as ensuring that we have a variety of dishes on offer, this also means that they can use ingredients that are locally sourced and fresh for the time of year.
Where bespoke options are required, we can do this too. Working with a team of chefs, we can deliver dishes that cater for certain dietary requirements or that fit with a specific theme.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to the food we serve. With a shared passion for delivering the best quality and service, we know that through our partnership with Life’s Kitchen that is exactly what we serve up.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner
As a venue, we host events throughout the day and evening. Again, supported by Life’s Kitchen we can dish up breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Whether you want pastries and granola or bacon and buns, we have it covered. Bowl foods or buffets, seated dinners or more casual dining – it’s all part of the service that we offer.
We appreciate how important good catering is to the success of an event and so we support you to get it right.
Recommendations
Where appropriate, we will make recommendations. With years of experience, we know what works and what doesn’t. If you want a taster menu with canapes to complement the cocktails, that’s no problem.
Equally, if you want to make sure you serve enough food but reduce waste, again we can help out here too. It’s all about working together to deliver just what you want.
Presenting the perfect dish
Presentation really does matter when it comes to catering for a corporate event. It’s important that there is consistency with the dishes, that they are bright and colourful and plated with no splashes or spills.
The trick is to have an eye on the detail and that’s what we do best.
Every dish is served and the plates are cleared with the minimum of fuss. What happens in the background, all of the preparation and planning, is our job. It means that you can sit back, relax and enjoy your meal.
Working with Glaziers Hall
At Glaziers Hall we want your guests to be sharing their experiences for all the right reasons, one of those being the food that we serve. If you want to choose an events team that take the leg work out of your catering too, then give us a call.
