The service

The hardest catering job there is

An awards night is a dinner and a stage show sharing one room. Feed people too early and the food dies during speeches. Too late and 400 hungry guests watch dessert through the entrees.

We choreograph service to your run sheet down to the category. Plates land as applause ends, clear as the next presenter walks on. Twelve years of stage-managed dinners taught us the timing.

The last course lands before the last award or dessert is on us.

Who runs it

The stage managers

Awards service is run like a production, because it is one.

Every event gets a named event manager who answers their phone, walks your venue if needed, and owns the run sheet on the day. You will never chase a call centre.

FAQ

Awards night FAQ

Your run sheet becomes our run sheet. Each course gets a window tied to categories, plus a backup if the night runs long. Plates never land mid-speech.

Backup windows are built in. Hot holds keep food at temp for the delay that always comes, and exit snacks cover the really long ones.

600 is our comfortable maximum with a full floor team. Service windows get tighter over 450, we flag that at quote.

Usually, yes. Arrival drinks and canapes for the first hour, then dinner service once doors close on the ceremony.

Exit snacks hit the door at pack-up so nobody leaves hungry. It is the last thing they taste and the thing they mention Monday.
