Function catering in Centurion

You have been elected to organize the annual charity dinner dance for the association of which you are a member, but how on earth do you go about it? Well, there are companies that will do literally everything for you. All you have to do is to lift the telephone and call one of the many companies that do function catering, and in Centurion you will find an excellent one. This is the Prue Leith Catering Company. There are many factors to take into consideration when trying to choose the right caterer for your function. The first thing to consider is to allow plenty of time in order to allow the chosen caterer to make any last minute changes. It’s not being very helpful if you telephone the caterer on the day before the dance to ask him if he can please add three more places to the seating plan and can he please make two of the main course servings vegetarian. The planning of a meal of several courses takes time. Ingredients have to be ordered well in advance and in the right amounts to prevent any waste. Then the food has to be prepared and cooked – all take time. Then there are all the other very important things that you have to think about. There is the cutlery, the linen, the crockery, the bar, the waiters and waitresses and the champagne. The list goes on, in fact there are so many things to be taken into consideration that it is all too easy to leave something out, only to discover it at the last minute, or later.
