If you go to Google or a popular search engine to look for a caterer you'll be swamped with choices; and trawling through the websites can be confusing.

My Advice - From working with customers Check they are a chef Many catering companies especially, hog roasts companies and street food companies often do not employ chefs - that frustrates me beyond belief! Not only does It mean the person cooking is not a skilled professional the 'chef' may not have food hygiene qualifications putting you and your guests at risk. Don't pay extra for equipment hire Mobile catering companies will generally cater at any location from barns to marquees, often the venue will not have a kitchen which is not unusual. If they advertise themselves as a mobile caterer they should already have the majority of the mobile kitchen equipment they need as they will be using it on a regular basis. I know of some customers that have been quoted a large amount of money from other mobile caterers for the hire of the kitchen equipment - unless it is a particular item they don't have you should not charge you for this.
