Lake District Hotels Choose CaterFour
Lake District Hotels have been a customer of CaterFour for over 18 years and in that time Executive Head Chef Daniel Winstanley has experienced as a business how we take pride in working closely with him and his team to provide handmade products that maintain their high standards.
“The fact that CaterFour and in particular Nicola is a Pastry Chef who once worked in the kitchen of a highly acclaimed restaurant, meant that the CaterFour products were endorsed before we even spoke to them. A lot of bakery and patisserie companies claim to know our industry however the reality is that they don’t, yet CaterFour had that firsthand knowledge and understanding.”
“The CaterFour team has always been approachable and has the understanding of what a chef wants. As a company we have four hotels all with very individual needs due to having their own style and brand. As a result each hotel requires its own bespoke range of desserts which Nicola has always tried to accommodate. It’s great to have the kind of relationship that we do with CaterFour, we are able to talk to them and tell them our ideas and ask how they can provide a solution. To know the team at CaterFour for as long as we have, many of which have been their since the beginning is great for us as a business.”
“The products for me have always been of such a high quality especially as they are a handmade product made with the freshest ingredients. This give is us confidence that for what essentially is a convenience product, we are giving our customers the best possible product.”
“What we especially like about CaterFour is that the business continues to progress and develop, with its product list ever increasing. We work with CaterFour in an individual way and even when we ask for something a little unusual or outside the box they will more often than not find us a product or create something to our specification and meet our needs.”
“Our biggest use for CaterFour are for our weddings. We regularly cater for 200 people and therefore we need individual cheese cakes, so we know we can rely on CaterFour as we simply don’t have the equipment or the space to produce that quantity. This is where they excel as they can deliver a handmade product to the highest quality that is consistent.”
