Who will be doing your Catering
The catering department within Romford YMCA is a well established service
that has been running for over 25 years. We have 26 fully trained staff
which includes three talented chefs who bring a wealth of experience and expertise
to all our functions.
We can cater onsite in one of our function rooms or offsite with delivery
free of charge.
Over the years we have catered for many wonderful functions and some of the
thank you letters have included the following comments;
“Congratulations to the Chef for a superb spread”
(a birthday celebration)
“With grateful thanks, we would certainly use your service again”
(Havering Neighbourhood Watch Association)
“I am still receiving compliments on the quality of the food and the efficiency
of the catering”
(St.Nicholas Church – Farewell party for the Vicar)
“The tables looked lovely and the members had a great time”
(Havering & District Stroke Club)
We have many more letters on file, which are available for viewing.
We can work to short notice but this cannot be guaranteed as we never overbook.
Our facility is open 12hrs per day, we take bookings over the telephone, at
our premises or we can make house calls and are happy to discuss any requirements
that you may have.
How we work
We can cater for every type of function:
Weddings, Parties, Formal Dinners, Finger Buffets, Barbecues, Business Breakfasts,
Funerals, Office Lunches – basically whatever you are thinking of doing.
We can “lay-up and leave” or supply waiting staff.
Our regular buffets start from £4.90 per person and our hot lunches delivered
straight to you from £3.50. We can however work to any budget. We
also have a sit-down buffet selection – please ask.
As we are such a large operation you are guaranteed that our food is brought
in fresh daily and we only use the best quality suppliers. Then we carefully
prepare and present all our dishes to the highest standards.
