I'll be honest, I couldn't hide my glee when these samples arrived in the post. What are they? Biodegradable Bagasse Deli pots and matching lids. (Honestly, it doesn't take much to make me happy these days) We're giving these pots some serious thought, as it ticks more than 1 box and we've been … [Read more...] about Eco-friendly sauce pot?
Take Away Food Packaging
Handy plastic recycling link
Hands up if you're confused about what and where you can recycle stuff. We are being continually asked about how, what and where plastic packaging can be disposed of. There isn't currently a definitive "go to" central information point, which is pretty much what the country is currently crying out … [Read more...] about Handy plastic recycling link
Size Matters (Really, it does)
If I could pass on one single nugget of advice to a new start up, it would be this. More often than not, it's miles easier to adapt the size of the product than the packaging you're putting it in. We receive calls every day enquiring about packaging that's ever so slightly different to something we … [Read more...] about Size Matters (Really, it does)
Tala Oven Roaster
I don't need to be asked twice to roast a chicken, so when I saw this new Oven Roaster, it had to be done. This massive roaster comes with a rack, and at 38 x 32cm x 7.5cm it should take care of the biggest joints. My medium chicken looked rather lost in it, so I threw 6 Pork sausages in there too. … [Read more...] about Tala Oven Roaster
Home Made 12″ Pizzas
We love a takeaway pizza, but its January and we're still the wrong side of payday. The last brace of large pizzas cost us over £30, and by the time the driver got lost, found us and finally delivered, they were lukewarm at best. "We'll have a go at making our own - it can't be that hard" One … [Read more...] about Home Made 12″ Pizzas
Don’t throw that out (yet!)
I recently threw out a single use plastic take away container after it had been used, washed and re-used 16 times. I know this as I kept a record. (What was that about not taking your work home with you?) Anyway. A bit like those old fashioned £5 notes that got progressively tattier as time went by, … [Read more...] about Don’t throw that out (yet!)
Well, I’ll Be Burgered…
We're MASSIVE Burger fans. And fans of MASSIVE Burgers. These days, there's a variation for everyone out there.... Beef, Chicken, Fish, Vegetarian, you got it. Cheese? Yep, Bacon? Bring it on! A hand sliced chunky shard of gherkin? Of course, just so I can moan it's welded itself to the melted … [Read more...] about Well, I’ll Be Burgered…

You can’t teach an old box new tricks…
Or maybe you can. Eco-friendly is the BIG buzzword for 2016. We've all gotta do our bit for the environment, right? Exactly. We at Cater For You hate waste, which is ironic seeing as most of the take away packaging we sell is used once and disposed immediately after … [Read more...] about You can’t teach an old box new tricks…
