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

For us, we would like it to be as easy as possible for both parties when providing a quote, so the more information we can gather the better. The number one thing for us when making an accurate quote are the number of guests coming - from this we can work with the organiser to decide the best service to suit their needs.

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

It's your special day and you want to make sure every aspect of your day is perfect, ask your caterer what experience they have with a venue of your size as well as maybe how many they have catered for that year. Find out if you can personalise the menu, for instance naming or creating your own pizzas gives that little more personal touch especially if your guests can relate to it. Ask what sides are offered, pizza is their main food does this mean they're still providing a quality side to go with it? Find out if your potential caterer is attending any local public events, most of the caterers in our background will do public events during the year and should be quite welcoming if you would like to go along and try some food, if not available then try to organise a private testing, before we have been unable to sort a public meeting and had potential clients to our house for a private tasting.

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

Il Pod Di Pizza was born out of a passion for eating and making pizza. Cooking has always been something I have personally loved to do all my life and pizza is by far my favourite as it's all hand crafted and cooked in front of a big open fire which is what excites and wows people. We as a team thrive on hearing our guest praise the quality of product we provide which only ignites our passion to ensure we are using the best quality ingredients we can source.

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

We have had quite a few bookings through Add to Event and have enjoyed all of them. One of our favourites was a small intimate event held for a birthday party with about 60 guests. There had been so much effort gone into the festival party in a field that we wanted to ensure we showed the same in our pizza, it wasn't busy at the start when the guests were arriving but then everyone got hungry at the same time, which put us under the test of ensuring we still provided quality as well as a great service. When we had guests coming back with positive feedback and getting their second or even third pizzas then we thought that maybe we had got it right! We have been using Add to Event for the last year and could not ask for a better service, we have recommended them to friends and family as well as quotes received from our website that we cannot attend. Keep up the good work!
