By Request Caterers Ltd

I contacted Carl at By Request to cater for 25 people for a gathering at home the night before my mothers funeral. Although there were lots of more adventurous options I just wanted something fairly simple and chose lasagne, aubergine parmigiana, salad and garlic bread. It was all booked in, and Carl made everything more streamlined by saying the food would arrive hot and ready to eat- (in large dishes which kept the food hot with gel burners underneath) and he provided all the crockery, cutlery, serving utensils. Even better- he gave us crates to put in the garage - and he said he would collect everything- no washing up required! The food was really tasty, well seasoned and presented. And the portions were generous and a good few meals made with the leftovers! And the very best best thing about Carl and by Request was- I got the date wrong on the confirmation (I somehow put the date of the funeral rather than the day before!) and only realised 4 hours before we had 25 hungry guests arriving. Carl got a frantic call and calmly told me he could handle it. The food arrived 3.5 hours later (24 hours before he was booked in to deliver) and he and his team deserved a medal! Would absolutely recommend them!

By Request prepared and served a lovely buffet after my father's Thanksgiving service. Carl could not have been more helpful; there was plenty of food; it looked great and we had so many compliments about the quality of everything. They even put together special plates for our coeliac vegan guests, which were much appreciated.

Thank you Carl and team for a lovely and short notice 50th Anniversay buffet for our family and for another short notice family gathering buffet last Sunday. I definitely recommend your services & hope to enjoy using again in the future.

Just wanted to pass on our thanks for such a lovely buffet for a family wake. The buffet was laid out and ready for when we returned from the funeral and the choice and variety was perfect for guests of all appetites. The food was delicious and couldn't have asked for a better service by Carl and the team. Thanks again

For number of years, By Request have catered for lunches for a party of elderly people at the hall of our local church, St. Chad's, Cheadle, Cheshire. The service from By Request has always been excellent. The food has been delicious and has been served courteously and efficiently, to everybody's satisfaction. All the crockery and cutlery have been provided by By Request, who have also taken away all the washing-up!
