π More Than Just a Buffetβ¦ This Is Our Family Business π
When you see one of our finished BODIEβS BAKES grazing tables, you see the beautiful end result β but what you donβt always see are the many, many hours of work that happen behind the scenes.
For a buffet like this one, catering for over 100 people, the preparation starts long before we arrive at the venue.
There are hours spent baking our homemade quiches and cakes, tray after tray of our famous Pork & Tomato Sausage Rolls, and hours preparing and frying our Homemade Luxury Scotch Eggs. π₯§π°
Then come the fresh sandwiches, cheeses, continental meats, cruditΓ©s and all those little extras that eventually come together to create one of our fabulous grazing tables.
Everything then has to be carefully packed, transported and unloaded before we begin setting up our boards, baskets, displays and tableware at the venue.
But thereβs another side to BODIEβS BAKES that you donβt always seeβ¦
Behind the business, weβre a family. π
Weβre also parents to two young children, so behind those beautiful buffet photographs is a family juggling family life, early mornings, late-night baking and some very long days in the kitchen!
Sometimes the ovens are on when most people are still asleep, and sometimes weβre cleaning down when everyone else has finished for the day. But we genuinely wouldnβt change what weβre building.
Our children are growing up watching their family work hard to build something weβre incredibly proud of β and every booking, recommendation, like, share and returning customer is helping our little family business continue to grow.
So when you book BODIEβS BAKES, you really are supporting a local family. Youβre supporting the hours of baking, the early starts, the late finishes and the enormous amount of love and care that goes into every single buffet.
And when we finally stand back and look at a grazing table catering for 100+ guests, knowing that so much of what you see has been prepared and made by us, it makes all those hours worthwhile. π
From our family to yours, thank you for continuing to choose, recommend and support Bodie's Bakes π
