Taste The Love has established their name in the catering business. They are known for using the best quality seasonal ingredients, supporting local businesses, and using eco-friendly products.

We were eager to try them out because of the positive client feedback and solid reputation they have. We weren’t disappointed. 

They cater to various events, including shoot catering, all-day event catering, corporate catering, canape parties, and everything in between. They’re very versatile. 

Moreover, they also have an array of menus you can choose from. They offer full buffet menus, dinner party set-ups, and even finger foods. 

We’re also impressed with their food presentation. They take the time to ask questions about your vision for your events to ensure they can accommodate and adjust according to your motif.

Despite the rave reviews about them, they also come with some downsides.

For one, they are more expensive than other options. This is because they use quality ingredients and cook everything from scratch.

The second would be their lack of provisions for dietary restrictions. They do, however, disclose their allergens on their website.

What’s keeping us positive about them is their exceptional customer service. 

One client we’ve talked to commended them for their flexibility in accommodating requests, such as letting you mix and match their menus according to your liking.

Furthermore, we’re also pleased with their staff’s reliability when handling sudden changes or mishaps during the event.

Overall, we think they’re a catering business that deserves a spot on this list. 

Impact Catering is a family-run business with Northern roots who has been catering for corporate and private events across Manchester for over three generations. So they’ve been in this industry for quite some time. 

Their extensive experience is obvious in the quality of their food and in their customer service. 

Their menu also offers a wide variety of options that you can customise according to your event’s theme. We love that they’re very flexible that way. 

In addition, they have beverage selections for those who want to include alcohol during their event.

Overall, we’re happy with what we’ve seen as far as food choices go. And we were even more impressed to learn that the majority of their clients are consistently satisfied with their food during events.

However, we noticed that there are some complaints about handling special requests from clients. 

There was one instance when the client requested a vegan version of a specific dish and the company failed to deliver, which didn’t sit right with the guests. So that’s something to consider with this company. 

We recommend inquiring about their refund policies before booking to ensure you’ll be covered in case of any problems on their services.

Even so, Impact Catering is still an excellent choice for what they offer, especially for those who want customisable menus and drink choices, we think. 

The Manchester Platter company is one of the first platter companies in the UK. They have extensive experience and have a solid reputation as caterers in Manchester. 

They offer a variety of beautiful and delicious grazing platters for any occasion. As far as options go, their platters include breakfast platters, standard savoury platters, luxury grazers, and dessert platters.

Their platters include fresh cheese, crackers, cold meats, antipasti, dried fruits, nuts, fresh fruits, and sweet treats. They’re also a whiz at presentation, offering fun add-ons like foliage and flowers or tablescape services.

Regarding food restrictions, they’re also quite accommodating when it comes to strict dietary requirements like vegan and gluten-free diets.

We recommend communicating any food preferences first if you’re considering booking their service to avoid any issues during the event.

We were also disappointed to find out that they did not provide tables for their event. So if this is not included in your event venue, this is something to consider. 

Furthermore, their delivery fee costs a standard rate of £45 per mile from WA14. This can be a bit expensive if your event is far from Altrincham.

Despite these limitations, we still recommend The Manchester Platter company for those who want a good quality grazing table for a functional setting and a lot of options. 

Open Kitchen is known as a sustainable catering company. So if you’re looking for an environmentally-responsible business, they’re a good option. 

Their menu offers single-serve lunches, sandwich platters, and hot and cold buffets. We love that these include canapés, small plates, breakfasts, and refreshments.

We were impressed to find that profits from their business go into providing food and supplying meals for people struggling with food insecurity across Greater Manchester.

Furthermore, Open Kitchen also offers a 10% discount to charity and not-for-profit groups.

As for their food, we love that Open Kitchen has a wide range of viand selections that are also highly rated by their customers.Based on our surveys, their main selling factor is creating sumptuous dishes using intercepted ingredients to prevent food waste.

One major downside is their lack of price transparency. Unfortunately, they don’t provide their price list on their website.

You will have to contact them for a specific quotation. 

We do like that their clients swear by their excellent customer service. They have overwhelming positive feedback based on our poll. 

The people we’ve talked to claim that the Open Kitchen staff is easy to work with and takes extra measures to ensure your event will go smoothly.

They’re also quite accommodating when it comes to strict dietary requirements, such as vegan and gluten-free diets.

Ultimately, they’re a solid choice for those who want a different twist to your usual catering services while supporting sustainable and ethically sourced foods.

The Little Green Platter Company is a family-run business specialising in gourmet grazing tables, boards, and boxes for every occasion.They offer bespoke food styling and fresh ingredients. 

We’ve seen that they have various boards to choose from depending on your event. We love how versatile and flexible they are. 

Furthermore, they also offer board boxes for those who want their guests to have their own portions. This is a nice touch, especially when the event has a lot of people.

They are also highly rated for providing abundant food at any event. To top that off, they also have friendly and professional staff and waiters.

We also love that they have a section on their website to browse their boards and see the estimated pricing. Upfront pricing helps clients plan their budgets better. 

However, because they are popular around Manchester, it can be challenging to book a slot, mainly during peak seasons like Christmas and Valentine’s Day. They take a while to respond to emails. 

In addition, when inquiring, we recommend messaging them through their website instead of calling them on the phone. 

Overall, The Little Green Platter Company is an excellent choice if you’re looking for quality grazing boards that don’t cut back on their serving portions.
