EVENTS, THE TOWNHOUSE WAY

Event Catering in Cumbria
For Organised Functions.

Event catering needs to fit a schedule, a venue and a group of people, often with more moving parts than a simple food delivery. Townhouse Catering can support organised functions where the menu, service and logistics need to be planned together.

Existing experience includes university events, graduation-style dinners, sports hospitality, BBQ events and other off-site functions. That makes this service particularly relevant to corporate organisers, universities, venues and private clients planning occasions where the catering is a meaningful part of the guest experience.

FORMAT FOLLOWS THE EVENT

A formal dinner, corporate buffet and outdoor BBQ each need a different service plan.

ORGANISATIONAL EXPERIENCE

VENUE-LED PLANNING

EVENT CATERING YOUR WAY

Corporate, graduation, hospitality and celebration catering.

From corporate dinners to graduation celebrations, we plan the food and service around your event. Smaller buffet orders still sit within the wider outside catering offer, but larger events can justify more detailed planning and a wider travel area.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your event catering questions, taken care of.

Here are answers to some of the questions we are asked most often about event catering in Cumbria. If there is anything else you would like to know, the team is happy to help.

Can you provide a two or three-course dinner?

The team has previous experience with two and three-course graduation-style dinners. The exact menu and service format should be agreed for each event.

Can you cater across Cumbria and the North West?

Yes, for suitable bookings. Larger events can justify travelling further, with existing work reaching Lancaster and Morecambe as well as the Lakes and Furness area.

Can you work with venue facilities?

Yes. The service can be adapted around what the venue has available, but the facilities need to be discussed before the final plan is agreed.

Do you offer corporate catering?

Corporate events are an important part of the event catering offer. Share the type of function, guest numbers, venue and whether the requirement is one-off or recurring.

Can you cater for allergies and dietary requirements?

For organised events, collecting dietary requirements early helps avoid last-minute uncertainty. Share known dietary needs and food allergies as part of the event brief.

The Food Standards Agency allergen guidance is useful independent information for organisers collecting allergy details.
