Food By Julie
Family Business Food by Julie is a small family business set in a Thames Valley village which has evolved over the last 20 plus years and provides a high quality catering service in Berkshire and neighbouring counties. Central to the busy Reading Business Centre and in close proximity to the M4 and London venues. Much of our business is acquired via client recommendation and clients who have experienced our food and service on a previous occasion. We may also be found on Yell.Com and in the Yellow Pages. Private & Corporate The business is run by Julie, originally self motivated in the realms of cooking, and an enthusiastic qualified City and Guilds Professional Cook. The business affords a range of fine cuisine and a comprehensive event management and party planning service for both private and corporate clients, and with the culinary knowledge and experience amassed, we have the ability to organise small functions and larger events in a successful and effective way. Personal Service We offer a friendly and personal individual service and are keen to exercise our passion for food by delivering a high standard of cuisine coupled with careful organisation and a high level of customer care. Our aim is to liaise with our clients to ensure that we provide exactly what is required and what we hope will reflect and enhance the occasion. We will provide quotations based on specific requirements, modifying wherever necessary to parallel a client's desired budget if necessary. We will advise how proprosed numbers to be catered for, the preferred style of service required as well as special dietary needs and budget may influence the choice of menu before finally providing a firm quotation. In order for our clients to relate to the menu they have selected, we may offer to provide a sample dish, especially in the case of Weddings. Menus & Style of Food We specialise in providing superb contemporary and traditional food stylishly presented and our bespoke menus are individually designed for each client. Menus are inspired by seasonal produce locally sourced and a tremendous passion for food representing modern cooking blended with traditional classic, mainly British and French recipes whilst aspiring to gastronomic delights accenting food from Europe, Asia, the middle East, Africa and the Americas. We may also be invited to design a menu which reflects a themed event. Business Entertaining As well as providing menus for the private sector we also offer a reliable service supplying Canapes, Sandwich and Finger Buffets, Hot and Cold Fork Buffets, for business meetings and receptions, conferences, training seminars, etc. Our primary business appointments also include Fully Served Seated three and four course executive lunches or dinners which we will prepare, cook and serve on the premises to a standard equal to that of any top class restaurant. We also appreciate that time restrictions may apply to any business lunch, and we will take this into consideration when planning a menu. Food Sources All our dishes, handcrafted by us are specially prepared for each event carefully selecting only the freshest and finest quality ingredients including organic and free-range natural foods obtained from local farms, butchers and reputable suppliers. Meat, poultry and game are obtained locally and are of the highest quality and our fish is specially ordered to ensure that we obtain only the very freshest possible. We hope to achieve the ultimate in taste, colour and texture preferring to avoid foods with artificial additives such as colourings, flavourings and preservatives, wherever possible. Prices Since our food is homemade, it is naturally more labour intensive. Our prices may reflect this, but we hope that our clients will choose not to compromise the quality of the food for the sake of the price! Other Services We will be happy to advise on marquee and furniture hire, musicians and entertainers, flowers, celebration cakes etc. based on a small repertoire of contacts, and arrange for the supply of all the relevant quality tableware, glassware, linen and disposables where applicable, as well as heavy kitchen equipment and refrigeration, or other accessories required to service an event. Drinks may be provided on a sale or return basis. There is usually a corkage charge if customers supply their own drinks but require us to set up and serve. Service Staff Our friendly professional team of smartly uniformed service staff will ensure that every event runs smoothly and efficiently. We may also supply drinks service staff, chefs and front of house personnel. We hope that you will invite us to be of service to you.
