Doesn't time fly!

The team at Total Hospitality and I just can't believe that we are nearly at the the end of February already. Doesn't time fly when you are having fun!
With January being the start of a fresh and sparkly New Year, we always feel very excited about the coming twelve months and all the clients that we are to provide catering and hospitality for.
We have already had some lovely weddings that we have catered for. One in early January in the deep snow where, among other things we were serving mulled wine outside the church followed by a warming winter three course menu. Another in London where we served our Traditional three course Roast menu in the grounds of a big beautiful church followed by our favourite; bacon butties in the evening.
We have also had fun catering for some fabulous private parties. We have been to a surprise Birthday party where the birthday boy was celebrating his 50th birthday and they enjoyed a menu as selected by his wife from our spanking new 2010 finger buffet menu.
Our new drinks menus are going down a hit too with many clients who had booked our services now adding on a drinks package since being sent details of our new drinks options.
We are also very busy getting all those site visits carried out for the coming months in advance of our clients weddings, private and corporate events. If you haven't booked us in for a site visit yet, please do get in touch so we can get you booked in.
Ahhh, well that is it for toady folks, i think i had better get back to work and wish you all a great weekend. I might have to go downstairs and pinch one of those freshly baked rolls that the chefs have just pulled out of the oven first though!!

Dawn of a New Hospitality...

After much discussion and deliberation, all us folk here at tTotal Hospitality Ltd have decided to dive headlong into the blogosphere. it's probably best to see how things go from here but I'll begin by telling all of you a little bit about the day-to-day running of a catering company. You can all keep an eye on how 2010 turns out for us.

2009, as those who know us will testify, was a great year for us. The economic downturn (there's a phrase you didn't know you'd tire of back in 2007) did not affect us as we had anticipated. Rather than drying up due to the supposed money counting on the part of our clients we found the opposite; people seemed to be booking us as a an antidote to the recession. Firms booked us to counteract the demoralising effects of continually hearing about how bad things were; couples booked their weddings in order to celebrate their futures together, rather than anticipate how awful things sounded like they were going to be.

Of course, things never go as badly as we are told they will be. we had a great year. 2010 is shaping up to another and we are looking forward to a load of weddings this year across the country. We're going deep into the west-country for one or two and forging our way North to spread wedding joy up there too. The loyalty of many of our corporate clients is unwavering and we have bookings flowing in from them too. And DESPITE the promise of more icy weather to come before Spring, We are receiving BBQ bookings by the bucket-load.

So the year ahead is looking busy. We wouldn't have it any other way. Our new facebook group is up and running. Go to our homepage for more info on our brand, spanking new 2010 menus which we are telling the UK all about.

Back soon.
