Choosing The Right Naples Caterers

By Nita McKinney


Whether you are organising a wedding, birthday party or business conference the chances are there will be plenty of people that will at some point need feeding. While it is possible to order in food yourself there is always the danger that you may not get food everyone likes, something might get burned because you got distracted organising something else or you may find yourself not enjoying the event because you are doing everything yourself. This is where Naples caterers can help.

Some people may argue that hiring a caterer is unnecessary. This may or not be true depending on the type of event and the budget you have. If it is a business conference at a hotel they may already have their own facilities and so you do not need to hire an outside company to cater the event.

In other cases you may not necessarily want a lot of food to cover a small event. It may be sufficient to have a few plates of sandwiches and drinks for a break in between discussions. However with larger events it is likely there will be more to organise and this is where a professional service is useful.

You should also ask what the caterer will provide themselves. In some cases they may simply turn up with food and allow you to serve it on the day. In other cases they may staff who can serve throughout the day. Having them there serving is ideal if you want to focus on the event, especially if you have activities to organise.

What kind of food you serve depends on the event. Buffets are often good for larger crowds as it allows them to help themselves and decide what they want to eat. However if the event is a bit more formal then it is better to go with a sit down meal as part of the event in order to provide more of a structure.

Another important consideration is people who are vegetarians or vegans. There is the danger that a caterer will include a vegetarian or vegan option as an afterthought. They need to be able to show that they can cater for the needs of anyone they will be serving and that they not only provide something that is suitable but also appetising for vegetarian guest. It is in their best interest as word of mouth is vital for them to get more work!

Often it is recommended to go with someone who is experienced. While this is often the best option sometimes it is worth taking a risk on a newer company, especially if they have just started. This is because they are often keen to impress clients and know that if they do well then it is likely to get them more work, so there is the chance you may be able to negotiate a better deal and get better service in the process.

It is recommended you contact at least three Naples caterers before an event. However you need to be careful as you do not want to accidentally double book a couple of companies! Look online to find companies in your local area to find the ideal option to suit your event.
