As you’ll probably be aware, not all catering companies are made equal. They vary according to not only cuisine but level of experience and price.

Here are seven tips for finding the ideal catering company for your event:

  1. Check out their sample menus and see if they meet your dietary requirements. Lucy Claire Catering has a number of sample menus on our website to give you a taste of what we offer. That includes those for seasonable fine dining, sharing boards, hampers and corporate food.
  2. Find out how flexible the catering company is. For instance, are they willing to create dishes they wouldn’t normally, or tailor food to reflect the unique theme of your event? We offer bespoke catering that makes your celebration as special as possible.
  3. Look at their previous customer testimonials and what kind of feedback they get. This is an obvious tip but one that can prove to be invaluable. You’re welcome to check out our latest reviews on our website.
  4. Make sure that they meet your budget. Our catering team works with people and companies on a range of budgets in Surrey and London.
  5. Find out if they use local suppliers and fresh produce. This ensures you enjoy the tastiest and fullest flavoured food. It also means that a catering company supports local businesses.
  6. Find a catering company that collaborates with you. Lucy Claire Catering always listens closely to your exact requirements and works hard to provide a personalised experience.
  7. Make sure they practise the highest standards of health and safety. Hygiene is key for preparing food. You can be assured we’re highly experienced in this area.
