Find out about the 4 most common types of Catering, guaranteed to tantalise the taste buds!
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.
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!
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.

Signature Bar & Events did an outstanding job for our wedding! The food was absolutely incredible, everyone agreed it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. The team was incredibly accommodating, working with our guests' dietary restrictions, and they also provided all of the rentals, which was such a huge help. The appetizers were beautifully presented, the buffet was mouthwatering, and the decor was simply stunning! We're so glad we chose to work with Signature Bar & Events. Our sales rep, Mrs. Moore, was wonderful, patient and attentive to both Bo and me throughout the process. And the bar, our signature cocktails were a hit! My Paloma was not only beautiful but made just the way I like it. We highly recommend them A+ all around!
