What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

For us to provide a comprehensive quote, ideally we need the event date, a brief explanation of the type of event, estimated number of guests and potential venue. From this we can use our experience and expertise to put together a flexible, tailored package!

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I would say, ask about their experience, how they plan to serve guests and how they source their food. These things are very important as it says a lot about what you can expect on the day, every caterer plans according to the event and in order to give a great experience to the guests.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

We are a Caribbean catering duo from South London with Caribbean roots and a crazy appetite for food - we're craven!!!. Growing up in a traditional Caribbean household. The smell of Curry Goat, Jerk Chicken, Oxtail, and many more filled the house every weekend. We loved Caribbean food growing up and as soon as we were old enough, we got busy in the kitchen too!

Growing up in a culturally diverse city such as London has had a big impact in our style of cooking and what we eat - especially street food. So because of this love of cooking and eating we decided to open Dookies Grill in 2014. A little foodie street food haven ram-packed full of juicy, tasty-nah-rass unique Caribbean dishes drawing inspiration from our Caribbean roots and various other cultural ingredients that are so easily accessible in London. We provide Caribbean catering services and homemade, authentic Jerk Sauces.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

There have been lots of good experiences working with Add To Event, what I like about this platform is it really works hard at matching the right caterer with the right customer. We rarely receive event requests for events that aren't relevant to our business. It also gives the client the opportunity to dialogue with the caterer to determine the right fit. Every experience we have had through AddToEvent has been a good one as we are very clearly able to align expectations and give a good experience.

We look forward to working with clients via this platform for many years to come.
