Tools of the trade<\/strong><\/h2>\nKnives. Spatulas. Roasting pans. Depending on the kind of cooking you\u2019re going to do, you\u2019re going to need lots of knives, and a myriad of other utensils.

Pans, pans, pans & pots<\/strong><\/h2>\nThere is no lack of debate around Teflon versus stainless steel in this department (just quietly, go the stainless steel\u2014you can\u2019t scratch it off when you get a bit too frisky with the steel wool!) Whatever your preference, you\u2019re going to need frypans, woks, saucepans, crockpots, stock pots and cauldrons etc.<\/p>\n
Crockery, cutlery, glasses & serviettes <\/strong><\/h2>\nIf you\u2019re doing the full-service catering events, you\u2019ll not only need to prepare the food but serve it too! When buying your crockery, cutlery and serviettes you want to make sure that you can replenish your stocks when the inevitable breakages happen. A few too many chardonnays and guests will throw caution\u2014and plates\u2014to the wind. Plain, easily replaced items are your best bet here.<\/p>\n

Bratt Pan<\/strong><\/h2>\nA what?! We hear you, if you\u2019ve never been involved with the catering trade before, you may not have heard of this gadget. Bratt pans<\/a> can braise, boil, steam, poach, roast and fry! Huzzah!

However, as the business grows (as of course, it will!) you are going to need to expand your operations. If you\u2019re moving into a larger premises, this is one of the largest pieces of equipment you\u2019re going to purchase. Take a look at how much space you\u2019ve got, and what you can fit in here. Do a floor plan up, including measurements, and make sure you take it along on your shopping expeditions.
