Creative Forest Foods is a family firm; the bedrock being Robert’s long association with cooking. A passion passed onto Lois, his daughter, whose individual flair extends beyond the pan to display both plate and table to the best that is possible. Donna gives structure to the organization of the event, performing ‘Front of House’ duties to provide continuity to a well oiled machine, whilst other family members fill in as and where required.
Supplementing the family is a well established set of waiting staff and kitchen assistants who provide the mortar between the family bricks. Whether catering for a dinner party for a dozen or an event for two thousand, planning and logistics are the keys, nothing is left to chance, lists of equipment, ingredients and lots and lots of preparation.
If you want something that is cheap then we will say that perhaps we are not the right people to cater for you. We want to cook with the best ingredients that we can get, at the cheapest prices we can get them for, but we know from experience that you cannot compromise on quality as you will be found out on the plate.
So we will be competitive but will not compromise with the ingredients; there is beef you can eat and beef you can wear, and in the middle you need a clear distinction between the two. Our distinction is clear for everyone to see.
Weddings are our passion; each one is different, even if the menus are sometimes similar. There is an excitement about the day. The kitchen is no place for the complacent and faint hearted, tension is high, and lasts until the final plate leaves to be served. We look for compliments, we take criticism badly, we frown on mistakes, we love the thank you notes which often accompany pictures from the Bride & Groom after the event, and we smile with success. We smile much more than we frown, and we still criticize ourselves excessively.
Our philosophy is that we are only as good as the next meal, the next event. You cannot live on past glories you have to plan, cook, present, and deliver on the day.We have the philosophy to adapt to changes in arrangements without causing undue stress to clients, we leave final numbers until 7 days before the event, and we can usually cater for the unseen and unexpected. We look for solutions first, and we can think outside the box. What we are saying is that if you want an approachable caterer, someone who will sit down and talk you through, what you want and how it can be delivered then try us. The service is free until you pay the deposit. The deposit means that we are committed to you for your event, we are booked.
