Excellent service and great staff. I hired Redbreast to cater my wedding and a BBQ for our guests the following day. They were very well prepared and the food was delicious.

How did you get into the catering industry?

We started as a two person operation mostly catering for our friends and families. These events were mainly birthday parties, engagement parties, christenings and other smaller occasions. It wasn’t long before we began to take on bigger jobs, and hired more staff. After several months, we were catering for events such as weddings, funerals and even formal corporate functions. Today, we’re an experienced team of 12 people, including gourmet chefs, professional waiting staff, and even a mixologist.

What are the biggest challenges when catering for an event?

One of the biggest challenges is calculating the right amount of food and drink for an event. Food waste can be a problem in the catering industry so it’s crucial that caterers prepare properly to ensure everyone is fed while also minimising waste. This is normally easier to do for sit-down meals with structured courses, but can be a little trickier with party style food such as with buffets and canapés. However, with experience and the right preparation, you can achieve both full bellies and virtually empty bins. Especially if the food is delicious like ours always is!

How do you ensure that you’re providing your customers with the best possible service?

For us, most of the hard work is done before the day of the event. From ordering only the best quality produce to ensuring all equipment is spotlessly clean, we put the hours in early. As the old adage goes, ‘if you fail to prepare, prepare to fail’. This includes ensuring that any guests with special dietary requirements are prepared for, all staff members are aware of the time schedule, and all food that can be prepared before the event is ready to go. Once that’s all taken care of, we can focus on providing delicious food and a professional service with a smile throughout the duration of the event.

We didn't think Sarah of Piglet's Kitchen could produce any better food than we have had in the past, but she excelled herself this weekend with a fabulous buffet lunch for 30 people, complete with delicious canapes beforehand. All our guests commented on how good the food was and were impressed even before they tasted it because of the lovely presentation. Well done Sarah! I would not hesitate to use Piglet's Kitchen whenever we have an event, be it small or large and I would unreservedly recommend her to all my friends. Thank you!

Harry was absolutely amazing. Chef .Answered promptly to all my questions before he arrived. He arrived on time. Was an absolute life saver overcame some problems we had during the event. His food was excellent and tasty. We had 60 guests at our event and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. I would definitely hire again. He was an absolute legend. We had an ex bath and England rugby union player as our guest speaker and he had 2 plates the food and chef was top notch
