Find Caterers near you

No two events are the same, which is why it’s important that you find the most appropriate private catering service for the occasion. From street food and pop-up food stalls to fine dining and Michelin star cuisine, there are many options in the world of catering. Whatever the occasion, there’s an ideal catering service for your event. All you have to do is find it, which is where Bark can help.


We use your search criteria to narrow down all the possible catering services in your area so that only the most relevant caterers remain. Some catering services may specialise in BBQ catering and locally sourced hog roasts. While others may be specialists in vegetarian dishes or gluten free cuisine. Whether you need buffet catering for a birthday party or corporate catering for a sit-down three course meal, we’ll find you the right service.

The venue, as well as the type of event you’re organising, will determine what catering service you need. For smaller, private occasions such as birthday parties, engagement parties, funerals, wakes and religious celebrations, it might only be necessary to hire a catering company that supplies just the food. For these events, you may be able to provide all necessary cutlery, plates and glasses, as well as do all the preparation and cleaning yourself.


However, for larger events such as weddings and corporate functions, there will likely be too many people to supply all the equipment yourself. From serving dishes to tea and coffee urns, a professional catering service can bring all necessary equipment. Bigger events tend to be held at hotels or other large venues. These places usually have all the facilities that your chosen caterers will need, including kitchens, bars, tables and plenty of cutlery and wine glasses. Always check what equipment prospective catering services have, and ensure that they’re compatible with your event venue.

When it comes to event organising, the catering can often be the difference between success and failure. You’re likely to have many guests attending your event, and each guest will be expecting great tasting, high quality food. While some guests may be vegetarian or vegan, others may have food allergies or intolerances to lactose or gluten. It’s therefore crucial that you hire a catering service that can accommodate everyone’s dietary requirements.


It’s not all about the food. Drinks are just as important to the success of an event as the cuisine. From weddings to funerals to work parties, your guests will need a reliable supply of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Perhaps you need bar staff as well as waiting staff, or even a mixologist to create exotic cocktails. While many catering services can also provide drinks, not all of them do. Having as much information about each caterer is the only way to make the right choice. This is why we provide detailed profiles of all professionals, as well as customer reviews. This way, you know you’ll be hiring the ideal catering service.
