Something about us, you and your event
We have a good team around us at Kingfisher,
with many experienced service staff who have worked with us
over several years. They are, as you would expect, smart, courteous
discreet and always professional, no task is too small or large-so
you should never be afraid to ask!
 Our
core business values are Approachable,
Accountable & Adaptable.
Kingfisher Caterers is a medium sized, professional, well-established
(21years) outside catering business, owned and operated by
a husband and wife team-Ian & Pam White and their highly
focused team of Chefs waiting & support staff. Between
them they have over the past 6 years (under current ownership)
developed Kingfisher into one of the foremost suppliers of
catering in the region and have gained an enviable reputation
in wedding a specialist marquee catering.
Our aim is to undertake work that best matches our resources
and skills and in doing so, ensure the very best attention
to detail and quality in everything we do…That means
that we really look after you…! We are used to working
in many different types of environment and we pride ourselves
in leaving each and every venue clean, tidy and as found
(sometimes better!) …
Kingfisher prides itself on our attention to detail and we
will work with you tirelessly from your initial enquiry through
the quote stage…from the time your first guest arrives…to
the final clearance of your marquee or venue, we will deliver
on our promises.
For this reason we are unfortunately unable to undertake
formal sit down wedding catering for more than 350 persons,
although we are able to cater for larger functions dependent
on venue and menu selection if considering buffets, finger
food or BBQ/Pig roasts etc. Please also note that we may
also charge a supplement for catering for less than 80 persons,
in order to cover running costs and general overheads for
this type of event.
To further underpin our quality stance, we only take on approx
30 weddings each season and you will always find one or both
of us heading up the management of your day…we never
take on more than 1 major function at any one time, so as to
guarantee that we can exceed your expectations.
That said, it is however always our intention to offer value
for money and “Kingfisher” boasts an enviable track
record and years of satisfied clients and testimonials. To
support this, it is always Kingfisher’s intention to
make our pricing as straightforward as possible and to be ‘up
front’ about any additional costs that you may incur
or that are appropriate to your function we will therefore
always inform you of any costs that are outside of our normal
remit.
To aid the consultation process, we would appreciate a site
or home visit prior to the event to ensure that facilities
are adequate to produce your food to the highest possible standard
and to ascertain if any additional equipment or services may
be required…(All of which will be advised to you in
our formal quote).
We provide and maintain all of our own china, cutlery, crockery
(glassware available to hire separately) and we return all
equipment to our purpose built kitchens to be cleaned.
All of our food is made and assembled at our own purpose-designed
premises. You are always welcome to visit our kitchens to inspect
our facilities by prior arrangement. We follow strict HACCP
guidelines for all food production, handling, storage and distribution
and dealings with our clients and their guests. Of course,
health and safety remains at the top of our list of priorities.
 Ideally we like to meet and discuss every client’s event
and will help you to plan and make your event unique and special.
It is our policy to produce a formal written quote prior to
your agreement to proceed and bookings are not accepted until
our written quote has been formally accepted. We normally ask
for a holding deposit to confirm your order and will advise
on this at the time of our first meeting.
Your peace of mind is of course also high on our list of concerns
and our management is on hand whenever required leading up
to your event to deal with any questions and organisation of
the function. All of these costs are contained within your
quotation and we make no additional charges for this service.
We do of course have many client references and we can always
show examples of events we have undertaken and discuss any
areas in which you need reassurance.
It is normal for us to do a “free food” tasting
as part of any assessment by our clients, this is however only
available at our kitchens and would be offered once our written
quote has been accepted and a deposit taken, we also discount
children’s meals and will provide a small amount of free
food to cover others working on the day... Photographer, Band,
DJ, etc.
The menus and details contained within our presentation are,
we believe, extensive, however given the tremendous range and
numbers of events that we undertake every year and the requests
that we are asked to fulfill, it is extremely difficult to
break down all possible additions or potential variations to
the information contained in our brochure.
Prices and menus may change from time to time without prior
notice in order for us to keep pace with the demands of our
clients.
We do of course wish you very success with your event and
assure you of our very best attention at all times.
Kind Regards
Ian & Pam White
