Any caterers oin the house?
 

Need a caterer for a 40th birthday party.. to put on a buffet.. any recommendations or anything please? :)

Re: Any caterers oin the house?
 

Yes. One of Lettie's work collegues has bought the Cobbled Corner Cafe, at Chipping, in the Ribble Valley. She does outside catering and the food is excellent.
I had the pleasure to gatecrash a private party of Royal Blackburn Hospital's Delivery Suite a couple of weeks ago, purely in the capacity of culinary crash test dummy. I was suitably replete when I waddled out of the door, four hours later.

Chippings a bit of a trek.. ok it aint that far but hmmm thought maybe more local ... Sorry dont want to sound ungratefull and may need her number if nothing around here comes up :)

At work, we always use Gourmet Catering in Clayton .. 01254 875495 and never been disappointed yet.. however, 'ya ,makes yer choice as they say'

Re: Any caterers oin the house?
 

The buffet at the Sparks event (that you took pics for a few months ago, Kipax) was Yummies in Oswaldtwistle - they're always good value.

Gourmet catering are probably one of the best but they're also quite pricey - depends what your budget is.

For my husbands 50th in June we used Nutty Butty Shop, Union Road Osw. Can highly recommend them and the prices was very reasonable too. Buffet was good, food very fresh and plenty of variety. What i liked best was that they didn't set the buffet up before the party, they actually came a short time before it was served and set it up then. Sorry haven't got the shop number only the mobile no, which is: 07768760619

I can vouch for the Nutty Butty Shop, in Ossy, as can Wingy and everyone on site who work at Emersons. We get our lunchtime butties from this establishment. Top banana!

Eileen Read at Rising Bridge she does a good buffet. She does ones for work sometimes and we had her back in jan.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but does anyone know how much notice caterers need. I need one in 5 weeks, do I need to start buying plenty of bread and butter and enrollling volunteers ? :)

Re: Any caterers oin the house?

Re: Any caterers oin the house?
 

have you thought of HEARNS on nuttal st, had some super potatoe pie suppers from them in the past.

Re: Any caterers oin the house?
 

I picked the menus up from Hearns just before I moved, now I can't remember where I put them :)

Re: Any caterers oin the house?
 

TJ Hurn on Nuttall Street; used 'em the other week for a funeral buffet . Very good quality and reasonably priced.

Re: Any caterers oin the house?
 

Am I right in thinking that you don't order one buffet per head for the expected attendance. What's the rule of thumb on these things ?

Re: Any caterers oin the house?
 

It's based on how many i.e. I went to a place for our christning recently and they insisted on supplying the buffet, starting price £3.95 per head going upto £7.95 per head.

"I'll let you know" was my reply.

I ended up doing the catering myself.

Re: Any caterers oin the house?
 

YUMMIES at West End used to do a really good buffet and reasonably priced, but I am talking a couple of years ago, the phone number is 01254 230008. Maybe worth giving them a ring see if they still do them.

Re: Any caterers oin the house?
 

Don't bother catering, it'll save you a fortune !

Re: Any caterers oin the house?
 

When we used to work in the pub game, we used to advise on catering for 75-80% of the numbers you are inviting. As not everyone likes to eat when they are out drinking and a lot of food tends to get wasted.

I can highly recommend T & J Hurns on Nuttall Street, they made our wedding and christening cake. They aren't expensive either and have a decent choice of menus. The company I work for also use them to cater for business lunches.

At work we also use Daly's on Burnley Road, they aren't too bad either. If you need their number let me know and I'll get if from work for you.

Thanks Julie, thats what I wanted to know :)
