Private Party Catering in Guildford

Emily's Kitchen Table is a bespoke private catering company based in the heart of Surrey. Here's their advice on what you need to consider when looking to hire private party catering for your event.

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

For Emily's Kitchen Table to provide you with an accurate quote we need to understand what it is exactly that you are looking for at your event. Before providing you with a quote we would always ask what your budget and what your expectations are for your event. This is so we can provide you with the best service and an informative quote based. Using our experience and expertise in the industry we can put together a suitable quote for your event and work closely alongside you to plan and organise your event.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I would always recommend that you do your research. For me I eat with my eyes so any images of previous food that has been made is always really helpful to have. I would always advise picking up the telephone and speaking with the company, this way you get a much better understanding of what they are able to provide. - We are always more than happy to speak with you personally over the phone and answer any questions in person.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Emily attended Tante Marie Culinary Academy and graduated with a distinction in Cordon Bleu cookery and was awarded the Diamond Jubilee Trophy. As a result Emily went on to work for different catering companies; cooking for events, weddings and private dinner parties, all the while gaining experience, honing her skills, as well as expanding her already accomplished knowledge in events and cookery. As well as working as a chef Emily is also a proficient Event Manager with experience running weddings and events in excess of two hundred guests.

All through her time working as a freelance chef Emily worked as a private chef and events chef for her own business Emily's Kitchen Table.

Since then Emily has a wide clientele under her belt and is renowned for her attention to detail, expansive recipe ideas and turning the normal into something magical for all to enjoy.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

I have had lots of enquiries through Add to Event some of which I have converted to bookings. I catered for a 60th Birthday party for 16 guests last August. We had an amazing review after this event and all the guests commented on how delicious the food was and the slick and impeccable service provided throughout the evening. I would recommend Add to Event to fellow suppliers and anyone looking for companies related to events - the easy to use website is a bonus!
