Planner's guide
PART 1: PLANNER INSIGHT
Best For: Corporate lunch meetings and office events, Wedding receptions and celebration dinners, Private parties and social gatherings, Community events and fundraisers
What planners usually like:
- Daily availability (open 7 days a week, 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM) makes it easier to schedule tastings and planning meetings without disrupting your workflow
- Local Manchester location at 99 Greengate St provides convenient access for menu consultations, sample tastings, and direct communication with the team
- Direct contact approach allows you to discuss custom menu requirements and pricing tailored to your specific event size and budget
- Established local presence means they understand Manchester venue logistics, traffic patterns, and typical guest expectations for regional events
Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales differently for smaller versus larger events (20 guests vs. 200 guests)
- Ask about their setup, service, and breakdown timeline—understanding whether they arrive early for prep and how long they stay after service concludes is critical for venue coordination
- Discuss dietary requirements and allergen protocols they can accommodate (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, religious dietary needs) to ensure inclusive menus
- Verify what equipment and serving materials they provide versus what the venue must supply (tables, chairs, linens, serving utensils, plates, cutlery)
Common questions
What types of cuisines or menu styles does Eastern Catering Services typically offer?
While specific menus aren't detailed online, the "Eastern" branding suggests Asian or fusion cuisine may be a specialty. Contact them directly at +44 161 624 5575 to discuss available menus, dietary options, and whether they can create custom dishes to match your event theme or guest preferences.
How far in advance should I book Eastern Catering Services for my event?
Most catering services require 2-4 weeks' notice for standard events, though larger or complex events may need more time. Call them early to check availability for your specific date and discuss any customization needs that might affect lead time.
Do they offer beverage service, or is that separate from the food catering package?
Clarify whether drinks (soft beverages, tea, coffee, or alcohol) are included in their catering package or quoted separately. Also ask if they can recommend licensed beverage suppliers if they don't provide bar service themselves.
What happens if my guest count changes closer to the event date?
Ask about their policy for guest count adjustments—most require confirmation a specific number of days before the event (typically 7-10 days). Understanding cancellation and last-minute adjustment fees protects your budget.
Are they able to work with my specific Manchester venue, and do they charge additional fees for setup/breakdown?
Since they're local, they likely know Manchester venues well. Confirm they can access your venue, have any necessary insurance or agreements in place, and clarify whether setup, service staff, and breakdown are included in the quoted price or billed separately.
Can Eastern Catering Services provide references or examples of recent events they've catered?
Request contact details for recent clients with similar event sizes or types. Speaking directly with other planners about their experience with service quality, staff professionalism, and reliability gives you practical confidence before committing.
