Catering is now an important aspect of nearly every business in the hospitality industry. No longer can pubs and bars just rely on the revenue from beers, wines and spirits; with smoking bans, global recessions and rising alcohol duties, more and more establishments are offering food to stay afloat.

But catering can be a daunting experience for those business owners that are unused to serving food. Catering is a totally different animal to the drinks business and there is much to think about from the health and hygiene certificates to sourcing the food.

One area especially, that can be extremely difficult is buying catering accessories. First, you have to establish the equipment you need and not fall into the trap of buying catering accessories that will just sit on a cupboard and not be used. You then have to find a good catering equipment supplier and choose from what can be often a daunting range of different types of catering gear.

Working out what equipment you need

You need to establish the type of food you are offering. For short order/grills. The basic equipment will be quite minimal. Obviously, plates and cutlery are going to be important as are condiment containers. But think of what will be needed in the kitchen: chopping boards, knives, pans and utensils – speak to your cook who will be able to work out everything they need for each menu item.
