Healthy Catering in England

Kinetic Kitchen serves amazing organic coffee, donuts, juices and smoothies, all from a stunning Land Rover Defender. All onboard electrics and water supply mean there are no limitations with where or how many they cater for. Here they share their story and some interesting questions to pose to any prospective provider.

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

In order to give a personalised quote for an event, ideally, we would need event date and time, a description of the venue and what it's for, a good estimate of guests and whether its a prepaid or guest paid event. From here we can then look at a number of options in order to bring together a strong bespoke event.

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

It comes down to 3 points for us. The product, the service and the extras.

The product - the supplier must know their product inside out. If it wasn't made by themselves, then they must be able to show you their supply chain.
The service - how will the supplier serve the product you are requesting. Do they have a unique catering vehicle? Will they be guest facing? How much interaction will they have with your guests?
The extras - what makes them different? Do they donate to charities? Can they make your event special and unique to you? What are they doing to make their business more sustainable?

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

Kinetic Kitchen was created due to the frustration of the lack of brain & body food on the market. Being an ex ultra-endurance cyclist, I struggled to find any sound nutrition when out and about in Bristol & Bath. So I decided to combine my sports science degree, love for food and experience in the hospitality industry to create Kinetic Kitchen. I have a strong passion for making products great for my customer's brain & body, but also for the environment. That's why we use organic and local produce where possible, have a zero plastic policy and are proud members to 1% for the planet.

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

Once I had my first event and review, the business has been flying in. I have regular open and direct requests for my business, which has kept me super busy through the 'quieter' months. My favourite so far is a corporate event I ran for a collaboration of two property companies. It involved two locations in a day, with two very different staff-types. I have recommended all the local street food vendors to join Add to Event - well worth it!
