Much talk of tastings has been circulating over the last couple of years. Magazines, internet articles, wedding checklists have all written about tastings, with some insisting on a tasting before you book. Tastings can be a great way to have a pre-celebration before your function. Certainly look into this, but don't feel pressured if your caterer doesn't offer this service. If your price per person is very reasonable, there may not be the budget to include a tasting for the price offered.
Some restaurants and catering businesses recommend a pre-tasting to select your options of Finger Foods, Plated Dinners, Desserts and wines. When a restaurant or venue has an in-house catering service, this is a great option as they will generally have staff and food ingredients required to provide small portions for tastings. Do ask the cost of this service, it may be part of your package, however generally will not be included to keep the costs down for your function.
Mobile caterers may not have the flexibility to offer tastings, as they don't have a restaurant or staff on call to suit your time schedule. Don't be concerned about this, as mobile caterers run very differently to a set venue or restaurant. As mobile caterer's source food fresh for each function, buying smaller quantities for tastings may prove to be an expensive and time consuming task.
