AM & PM CATERING at Winchester House

Catering, as defined in the concise English dictionary:-

"the procurement and provision of food".

It could follow therefore that, if you were to warm up a tin of baked beans, pour them onto a piece of hot buttered toast and sit yourself down in front of the telly you would be, by definition, a caterer.
Hmmmmmm - if only it were that easy..........

Catering, as defined in our book:-

The professional planning and execution of an event from inception to conclusion; compiling inspired menus; advising, assisting, fine tuning; co-ordinating kitchen, contractors and costs; purchasing of fresh foods, its preparation and presentation; managing the event supported by friendly personnel; above all, to provide a result that surpasses all expectations".

Now that's more like it.

How we operate, in brief

Food-wise - being the appointed caterers to a London venue keeps us very much in touch with food trends. This means that at Winchester House we are able to propose menus that are considered to be ‘in vogue’ as well as menus which are perhaps, slightly more ‘traditional’. Nothing is written in stone though, and we always compile menus according to our clients’ wishes.
Quotation-wise - we don’t believe in ‘hidden’ extras, thus our catering quotes will contain all ‘essentials’ necessary to ensure a successful event. These ‘essentials’ include an event co-ordinator/advisor available from the time of your initial enquiry, the menu/s (obviously), a function manager who is on site from start to finish, all kitchen, bar and waiting personnel, the table lay-up including linen table cloths and napkins, the chilling of drink and the facility of an evening pay bar if you require.
Other-wise - our flexibility and expertise doesn’t just extend to menu selection – it applies to all aspects of the planning and execution of the event, be that just for ‘the catering’ or to include any number of the ‘support crew’ (photographers, florists, entertainment, marquees, car hire and so on).
To summa-rise - we are friendly, flexible, professional and we’d love to look after your event. Please give us the opportunity to do so and to help you make that event everything that you would wish it to be.

A typical 'snippet' from a client

"The reception, the quality of the food, the courteous and professional manner of all the waiting staff, as well as the welcome we received from everyone helped to make our wedding reception everything we wanted it to be, and more – truly unforgettable! A huge and sincere thank you to you all". Winchester House Wedding, September 2009

A little ‘cheesey’ we know, but then this is the feedback we strive for - to exceed your highest expectations by delivering a thoroughly personal and attentive service with professionalism not always associated with in-house caterers.
