Outside caterers supplying food for wedding receptions, birthdays and events in halls and marquees. Everything from finger food to full service banquets. for weddings, parties, functions and events in Lochwinnoch, Newton of Belltrees

Catering is an important part in the planning for any event, especially so for a wedding or corporate hospitality, hence a good caterer is needed to help keep the event proceeding in good spirits. Your choice of banqueting location is important for the caterer - most venues for weddings and events offer in-house catering themselves or have a shortlist of pre-approved contractors. They may not allow catering from outside providers since they have their own team on whom they depend for a proportion of their profits. Such limitations are not usually a problem with community venues such as village halls, where you'll usually find some kitchen facilities which can be used by outside caterers even if only for keeping pre-prepared food hot.

If you're planning a themed event, the catering may well be linked. For example, for a school reunion you might want to consider serving "school dinners" canteen style, or, for a beach party, maybe a BBQ or hog roast? There are lots of caterers offing a wide range of styles from finger buffets through to full blown banquets.

This category also includes specialist food suppliers such as popcorn, crepes, candy floss, sweet carts, hot chestnuts, hog roasts etc. as well as specialist menus including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free.
