We are having a party for our daughter and would like to look into getting in some catering, primarily for the kids (aged 2-4y). We are not sure of the numbers, maybe around 20. It is likely we would do the catering ourselves but looking into other options for various reasons.


Thanks!


p.s recommendations for birthday cakes welcome, too

Hi, I can't help with the catering I'm afraid but can recommend ordering a personalised M & S birthday cake. I have had 4 over the last couple of years and they have all been lovely and way cheaper than ordering from a bakery. The Noah's Arc is particularly nice, we had that for our son's 1st birthday and have just had the train for his second!

We regularly use M&S for parties, including all the sandwich platters, desserts and most of there other party nibbles too!


After you have bought all the bits in yourself and then spent all your time making the sandwiches etc they never look the same or taste as good as we think the M&S ones do.


You may as well save yourself some time (and perhaps spend a little more money - although we always think it works out to be quite cost effective as long as you are careful not to over order) and enjoy what M&S have to offer!


They usually only need 5 working days for an order, and in some cases for basic sandwiches just 2 days.


Would definitely recommend.

Thanks, jayd5, for the recommendation.


I think I felt I 'ought' to do some of the catering in true mum-style but might just order in and save us the major hassle, spend the time with my daughter instead and actually enjoy the build up to her party, as well as the party itself!

Over the years I have progressed from making my own ornate cakes to buying expensive cakes from cake makers, this year I bought the mega tray bake from Sainsburys for ?10, son declared it the best cake he had ever seen and all his friends went mad for it. Tray bake from now on.

I am a highly experienced and skilled cook and baker.

I bake amazing cakes and can also offer you catering for a package good deal.

If you are interested please pm me.

Thank you to the businesses and entrepreneurs for the links to your work (both via the thread and PMs) - they look amazing. Unfortunately, on this occassion we have left things a little late and we have very little/zero free time in which to consider your offers. Hopefully, for the next party we will be able to take you up on your offers and support your work. Good luck to you all!

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
