Hi there all! My name is Jane. I own a small catering service for chickentails or small power-lunches. I am doing well but wanted to expand a little, possibly for private parties, weddings, etc.
got my first enquiry for a chickentail after about a week but never received a reply. Days later, I received an enquiry for a wedding!!! Wohooo! I was so excited. I exchanged 2-3 mails with the bride's mother and we agreed to meet.
The meeting went great and was that very day contracted to cater for a small private party, which was easy enough - 60 guests, buffet. No problem. I guess this was my test!
The next day, the buttignment was confirmed. I am to cater for an engagement party for 250 guests and the wedding reception 1 month later for 700 guests (I have never done such a huge buttignment).
But, here's the catch. The bride wants me to propose up to 10 different menus that, in her words, are "exotic". No cute little mini-cakes or sausage rolls. She wants "exotic". I've been looking into Indian, Chinese, even Medieval European cuisine.
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
