The Brief
When our client company’s Board hosted overseas associates for private discussions, they wanted a light yet satisfying lunch for 8 in their office.The company kitchen was small and not equipped for entertaining, and staff members were occupied with the visitors so had little time to be actively involved in preparations. In addition, there was a tight timetable because of other commitments.
The Result
Our staff (a function manager and server) set up the board room ready to receive guests, including co-ordinating floral decorations, while the chef took over the company kitchen. We provided all the necessary flatware, crockery and linen for the occasion.The three course lunch, with coffee and a tiny sweet taste, was served individually as the guests talked in a relaxed yet business-like and private environment. The whole event was completed from 12 noon – 1.15pm. Afterwards, the Ruth Pretty Catering team cleared and cleaned so there was no trace of the function an hour later.
We don’t have standard menus or catering packages, as everything is custom-made to suit. Please call us on 06-364 3161 or email events@ruthpretty.co.nz to talk about your event and how we could help you. We can give you indicative prices to help you plan your budget, as well as other practical suggestions to make your event a success.
