Signature are such a lovely team and their food is incredible! They are an absolute pleasure to work with from the very start of the process right through to the wedding day. Anita worked with us to not only create a menu that was within our budget and one we knew our guests would like, she also helped us with sourcing tables and chairs etc for our venue as well.
The team were so accommodating to our ideas and tastes and Anita stayed in contact with me through the process meaning I knew I didn't have to worry about the food on my big day and that's so helpful when planning a wedding.
The food was incredible, my wedding guests were asking for the recipes they loved it that much and everyone who came to my wedding won't stop talking about the food. Thank you so much Signature, you were simply amazing!

La Piccola Italia is one of Bournemouth’s longest established restaurants. We first opened our doors on a hot afternoon in May 1981 with the simple idea of serving authentic Italian dishes using the finest ingredients. Over the last 33 years we’ve made a few changes, seen a few people come and go, but we still remain focused on our opening ideals. Still run by the original owner and his family, La Piccola Italia is the perfect choice.

I love wowing your guests at anything from an intimate dinner party at home to special celebrations for up to about 40 people.

Alison catered for my 50th birthday, a private dinner party for 13 people in my own home.
Wow, from enquiring to leaving after the event Alison was professional, helpful, accommodating and a fabulous chef.
From help choosing our menu to clearing up at the end of the evening, Alison provided a first class service.
I would strongly recommend.

What an amazing evening. I had planned a secret weekend in Lyme Regis for my other half's 60th birthday with 14 friends (he was the only person who didn't know :-)). I asked Rob to cater for our Saturday evening meal and it made the whole weekend.
From not having to go out in the cold, to wearing slippers with our dresses, having Rob and his two ladies - who's names we didn't get - come to the house, do all the preparation, serve fantastic food (and lots of it) and clear up was the best idea.
Communication with Rob was excellent and the choices that I had to get down to just two for each course was amazing and it was such good value for money as well.
If you are considering using Rob for your event, just do it :-)

Great Question although probably for me more of a style of service then individual dish.
Originally from Australia and completing my Apprenticeship in commercial cookery (Chef) at some amazing restaurants, and resorts throughout Queensland and Australia.
I have have been a part of the fine dining scene, cruise ships, small boutique bistros, 5 star island resorts, large high street franchise operations, wedding venues and after all that I have a style that I love is live cooking over the flames.....
BBQ's, Grills, Slow n Low, Fresh seafood are my favourites when a special event comes together. I enjoy the theatre of live cooking, the flames, cooking smells, the smoke.
Grazing stations, buffets that showcase local , seasonal and delicious ingredients.
The theatre of live cooking and styled buffets brings people together. The festival style socialising mingling. www.scoutandhunter.com
I always try to get a good understanding of how the event hosts would like to their event to feel and what their expectations are.
I have amazing menus and service styles that suit relaxed and sociable special events. One of our biggest strengths as a team is adaptability, we can alter and adjust our menus, banquet layouts, buffet configurations and timings to suit all event styles.
Once the menus, style of service have been planned. You can enjoy your event and leave the the team to take care of the detail, you and your guests. www.scoutandhunter.com
When customers approach Scout & Hunter they generally have an idea of how they want their day or event to go.

I would say being part of some great special events is the best thing about my job.

I started "Scout and Hunter" because I found the areas around Dorset, Hampshire had some stunning local produce and beautiful locations.
What was on offer at the time was very much a case of the old menu style, the best way to describe it was by saying "are you having the chicken or fish". Or it was a case of another beige buffet and I just thought that it could be so much better.

Personalised, friendly and did I mention adaptable. We can style and customize our menus and event planning to meet and exceed your expectations.

How much does a Caterer cost?
Your expert caterer will be able to advise you on the most suitable menus and service.
What should I look for when choosing a Caterer?
It is important to know the following before deciding on a catering company:
Event Specialists - Many caterers handle certain types of events on a regular basis, such as weddings and corporate events.
Different cuisines - Caterers might specialise in different kinds of cuisine. Some caterers may provide a fine dining experience while others excel at barbecues that suit company picnics.
Special requirements - If you have special requirements for the food or a specific menu in mind make sure your caterer is happy to meet those requirements.
Venue - Your gathering might be taking place at someone’s home, a venue or outdoors. It can be helpful if your caterer has worked at the venue before.
Tastings - Ask for a tasting to make sure the food is of a high standard. Most caterers will prepare one for you at no charge, allowing you to assess the quality of their cooking before you hire them.
How do I check a Catering Company’s credentials?
You could look for caterers with a foundation degree, higher national diploma or degree in Professional Cookery and Culinary Arts.
Before you choose a caterer, you could read testimonials and see pictures of their food on their website.
You could also look at their profile page on Bark and read reviews from past customers, too.
