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!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
