Office party with food and wine catering

The quality of your catering at an important event can make or break the guest experience. Whether you’re looking for a caterer for your business meetings or an impressive array of food and drink for a one-off corporate event, finding a caterer that is reliable and provides a top-notch service is important. To help take the guesswork out of your catering decisions, we have compiled a list of the top catering companies around. Read on to find out about caterers who prioritise locally sourced and seasonal food, plus creative occasion caterers who tailor to your event.

Humdingers

Humdingers is a sixteen-year old business which has now expanded into a successful events company. Having catered and arranged a wide variety of soirees before the Pandemic, we were left with a sudden loss of demand. This fundamentally changed the company’s ethos, and we decided to open a soup kitchen. We then found that buying bread for the soup kitchen was too expensive; so we opened a bakery. With the continued support from you, we remain able to pursue such projects, while providing high-end catering and events. From picnics to banquets, you can always count on Humdingers.
