Cooks & Partners: COVID-19 Statement

Welcome back to all of our amazing clients. We are here and on hand to assist with your event requirements!

Our prime importance is the well-being of our clients and staff; hence why we are constantly reviewing government updates to ensure we are operating safely. We have made many changes to our procedures and continue to do so as this will be a movable feast for the foreseeable future on the back of further developments in a COVID era.

Our team will continue to offer exceptional service to the high standard you expect; however will be wearing black masks and visors as we go above and beyond to ensure your safety. Both the front of house and back of house team will follow a meticulous set of precautions pre and during the event which include frequent hand washing/ sanitising and observing social distancing.

Events will continue to be part of our lives and more memorable and magical experiences will be created. Without a doubt COVID has changed the outlook of the world and we realise as a London caterer we must adapt and adopt new procedures on how we will serve you, our guests.

Reception, dinner and evening bar drinks service – We will provide tray service of drinks for guests on arrival, drinks service during dinner and table service will be provided for evening drinks. To minimise contact we will not top up glasses but simply provide a fresh glass per drink. You can be rest assured that you will continue to receive outstanding service and you won’t notice any difference!

Canapes and bowl foods – We will continue to provide a delectable canape service with guests offered their individual plated portion. This is to ensure there is no cross contamination with the canapé tray and potentially the food on that tray. Bowl foods will be served as usual as a individual portion served directly to your guests. The plus side being every guest will for sure have the correct number of canape and bowl food items to devour. We would be delighted to discuss theming and branding options to give your guests a really personable experience at your event!

Seated lunches and dinners – Our loving connection to food remains and we are delighted to be able to offer our full menu pre COVID for seated events. We would as always require any dietary information ahead of your event to ensure all guests are correctly catered for.

Daytime events – For our daytime events our service has been developed to be COVID safe. The food options will be individually portioned – expect delightfully prepared bento boxes and beautifully presented ribboned picnic boxes to be devoured! The service options include but are not limited to; sandwiches, finger food, salads, bowl foods, breakfast pastries, fruit and drinks. They will be pre-packaged pre event with dietaries noted and labelled for individual guests to take away to enjoy during the breaks at their leisure.

In addition, we are delighted to announce that we have been accredited "We're Good To Go" industry standard mark in partnership with VisitEngland. This accreditation further strengthens our COVID safe events operation.

We hope the above provides you with the reassurance and confidence to continue to book your events with Cooks & Partners (Don’t forget about us we are still here!!). We understand that these are unprecedented times we are all experiencing and really do appreciate your business. As always our event managers are on hand to assist you with any event enquiries and answer any questions you may have on our COVID service procedures. Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.
