Total experts in the archetypal street food of Mexico, their flavour-packed burritos are wrapped up rapidly before your very eyes, absolutely stuffed with citrusy rice, black beans, melty cheddar, smoky meat, spicy jalapenos, fresh guacamole, homemade hot sauces, and much much more… a Mexican Christmas dinner in a soft tortilla wrap.

Top Festive Suppliers for Your Corporate Christmas Party

When you become a Feast It supplier, you join a community at the centre of everything we do. We only invite the very best event suppliers onto Feast It because we want to be a cut above the rest and offer our customers the very best there is. With over 1,000 talented chefs, bakers, mixologists, brewers, photographers, florists, and more, we’ve got quite the crew going!

If you’re thinking of becoming a Feast It supplier, but aren’t sure if it’s right for you, we’re here to give you all the info straight from the horses mouth with a Q&A from one of our long standing and highly successful photographers - Steven Morris.

Steven Morris joined Feast It in December 2019 and has been a huge success with our customers, generating an incredible __£12K in revenue__*.

Photographer Steven prides himself on being a real stickler for detail and has worked with an impressive range of clients including Rolls Royce, The Tower Of London and Kensington Palace, but his career highlight so far was being the official photographer for an international company at the London 2012 Olympics!

Read on to hear about how Steven Morris achieved success on Feast It.

![Steven Morris 3](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/1j4Rbk0XH0u7yTmxB54kxy/24a0d6bab18850556548f95f0a221b8f/Steven_Morris_3.jpg)

## What makes Feast It stand out from other platforms you've used?

Feast It is the only platform I've used but the information I get is great and the clients I get, I'd never meet them any other way as most of my work comes from recommendations. So it’s really great for that.

## What's been your favourite event through Feast It?

A wedding I did in the summer. It was a really special day as the lady who was getting married usually used a wheelchair, but didn't on her wedding day. I helped her get around for the day and it was a really lovely moment. It was one of the early post-lockdown weddings and it was really emotional. They left me a brilliant review saying I'd captured their memories. I was swept up in it all and it helps me get better photos when there's emotion.

## What advice would you give to photographers joining Feast It?

Patience and perseverance. It took a while to get going but once it did there was work coming in regularly. The conversion rate was low at first but the more I quote, the more I get jobs. You've got to put the effort in.

![Steven Morris 5](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/2pT3Lo5fnqCzag4FdQgqo8/b535e9363ed421f0c1e8df67cc2b70f2/Steven_Morris_5.jpg)

## What's your key take away from running a business through and out of a pandemic?

I had to diversify the work I was doing into things I could do from home. I turned to web design and even helped the National Trust create a wallpaper collection! It was an investment to learn new skills during that time that I now use in my photography.

## What are your plans for 2022?

It’s still a little early to say but in terms of weddings, they're looking really strong. Covid hasn't gone away so until we're sure what will happen with large events, it's difficult as a lot are being cancelled. 

![Steven Morris](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/3ZQO6J5oDqSidAZsAY7J0X/bb30ec20d8705d91add8df0d7c6fa87a/Steven_Morris_1.jpg)

## What makes Feast It stand out from other platforms you've used?

I can quote for events without having to pay a premium/credits like they do on addtoevent, I can access a whole range of different types of events and customers.

## What's been your favourite event through Feast It?

One of my very first Feast It events was a wedding at Belair House in Dulwich. It was shortly after restrictions were being lifted so it was great to get back into it after a long pandemic. 

## What are your plans for 2022?

No particular plan, I'll just keep on pushing, next year is looking really busy, there are so many weddings, and post production takes up time, but I'll still be open to serving more events through Feast It.

![JK Weddings](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/1My4V9WByFKXlDRtl85WE5/1523b12aa6104bcf8e0fdfebbcf3f120/JK_Weddings_main_photo__1_.jpg)

If you’re thinking of becoming a Feast It supplier, but aren’t sure if it’s right for you, read on for all the insider info from one of our trailblazing mobile bar suppliers, Liquid.

Liquid joined Feast It in February 2018 and has since been a huge hit with our customers, generating an incredible __£77K in revenue__ from __63 bookings__*. 

Owner and master mixologist, Keshell, started Liquid with one horsebox and quickly expanded by adding another horsebox, pallet bars and garden bars to her repertoire, a real testament to the instant popularity of the business.

During the pandemic, Liquid were fast to pivot their business model and have since become one of our top virtual events suppliers, hosting cocktail masterclasses and sending luxury cocktail making kits across the country!

Read on to hear more about the Liquid story and how they achieved success on Feast It.

![Liquid - Keshell](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/4QgTg9OmK2kIiSbz6eCezE/4c379dcf1f75bfee5ef99d81aff40d8a/Liquid__1_.jpg)

## What's been the key to your success on Feast It?

Quoting loads and using the templates Feast It has and making them the best they can be by reaching out to your team to understand what elements clients want to see. I always make sure the quotes are as clear and simple as possible and that they portray my business and brand. I also always make sure my profile is up to date with menus and good photos. 

I try to quote every day and then go back through in a couple of days to send a follow up message. Chasing customers is important, everyone's busy so if someone hasn't replied, they might just have forgotten. So a little chase is good and shows you remember them. I always put people who have followed up with a question at the top of my list to respond to.

![Liquid Whitey Bar](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/4l2ZamAAK5BOMEOZ2ub07K/15a13761e92dd787bdd4c1bf0a6bd5af/Liquid_4_-_Square.jpg)

## What makes Feast It stand out from other platforms you've used?

I like Feast It because it's simple to use, and the team is always available for a call if we need to ask anything. If you use Feast It as much as possible, and in the most efficient way (by keeping up to date with events and messages), you'll receive so many more leads. I keep up to date with all my leads and it generates more business in the long run. If you put a lot of effort in, you get a lot back. 

## What advice would you give to mobile bar suppliers joining Feast It?

Stay in your lane by sticking to your branding and business model.

Focus on making the product you have and your ideas a success, rather than adding too many complications. There's so many mobile bars out there and sometimes I think 'oh maybe I should do that too' but just staying in my own lane is better because people notice you and the brand as a collective, which is what they buy into. 

Everything takes time, don't get too frustrated. Simplicity is key.

![Liquid Pinky Bar](//images.contentful.com/91pq7vxbip7x/6oYOoSh8ynxtmYg6qpc0Tg/6371e4f25b6073ad6424d7923489029f/Liquid_3_new_-_Square.jpg)

## What are your plans for 2022?

All of the pallet bars will be done up with a universal twist, which will be released in the new year. We're also adding 2 more garden bars and have a couple of new exciting menus, which will be revealed soon when they're finalised!

If you’re thinking of becoming a Feast It supplier, but aren’t sure if it’s right for you, read on for all the insider info from our most successful bar supplier, The Maverick Bar Company.

Since joining Feast It in September 2019, The Maverick Bar Company have been on quite the journey! They’ve generated an incredible __£56K in revenue__ from __105 bookings__*, and are a prime example of a small business who changed their operating model during the pandemic.

Before the pandemic, The Maverick Bar Company could be found travelling the South East in their beautifully restored 1967 Citroen H van named Franc, serving delicious cocktails. When the UK was hit with lockdowns, they quickly pivoted their business to offer virtual cocktail masterclasses and sent cocktail making kits across the country and internationally, and let us tell you, they were a roaring success with our customers! 

They’re now back out there doing events, but remain passionate about the virtual side of their business. Read on to hear all about their story and experience with Feast It below.

## What makes Feast It stand out from other platforms you've used?

The Feast It platform is by far more developed than other competing platforms. As a supplier I really like the fact that you can chat to customers throughout the quoting and booking process so the site feels really interactive. On other competing sites the engagement is low, customers shortlist and there is no opportunity to interact and tailor quotes. The information Feast It asks clients such as budget, what they are looking for, number of guests etc gives me a much better idea of what people want and i can tailor a quote for them. Feast It's engagement is so much higher.

I absolutely love the Feast It template facility and I regularly edit mine. Every morning I go through my event match emails that you send, I check them and then I go into the platform. I think you have to be really proactive as a supplier. The business is there but you have to respond to the queries quickly to make sure you’re one of the first ones to respond and the templates allow me to do that. It only takes seconds. The fact I can also do things through my phone on Feast It means that if a message comes through from a customer, I can respond straight away. 

I think as well, you guys reacted quickly during the pandemic when you jumped on virtual events and home delivery services, so you really changed your model fast, which was great to see. It works for us really well as a supplier.

You always ask us suppliers for feedback on how things can be improved, which you don't see on other sites. That shows you're continually trying to improve things.

## What’s been your favourite event through Feast It?

In the first 2 years we really threw a lot at the wall to see which events we enjoyed. Feast It has allowed us to understand we're really suited to corporate events where there's about 150 - 200 people. 

We did a really nice event recently through Feast It for a brand consultancy who did an outdoor festival themed party. We were the bar, and there were a whole host of food suppliers, many we'd already met a few times. The nice thing about Feast It is that it feels like a bit of a community. That really sticks out for me.

## What’s your key take away from running a business through and out of a pandemic?

We were really lucky in many respects because when the pandemic hit, I had an inkling that it wasn't going to be a short thing. So we applied for a premises licence to allow us to store and sell alcohol from our home. One of the big barriers to cocktails is people don't have all the ingredients at home, so when we got our licence to supply that, it was around the same time that Feast It contacted us about virtual events, and it all worked out perfectly!

It was so important to test and learn (with things like prices) and know everything didn't need to be perfect from the start. It was all about the ability to react quickly and make it happen.

## What advice would you give to street food suppliers joining Feast It?

Know your product really well, stick to whatever works for you and your business. Be really clear in your quotes so that everything makes sense for your business and for the customer's budget. Good customer service is so important. If you communicate with the client you can really learn what they want and also communicate what it is you're happy to offer. If you can do that, they'll be much more encouraged to move forward.

When it comes to film set catering, always be organised and get ready! 

## What makes Feast It stand out from other platforms you've used?

I only use Feast It. We've just started working again and enjoy working together with Feast It, the team is very reliable and trusting of suppliers, so we decided to stick with you. It's been great because we can chat to customers and confirm what they really want for their event.

## What's been your favourite event through Feast It?

There's been so many! Recently, I enjoy the events where we work with traders we know, and there's always someone we haven't met, or someone who's just starting out.

## What are your plans for 2022?

We're going to make our truck bigger and we have a new project coming up - you'll definitely be hearing about it soon!

## What advice would you give to street food suppliers joining Feast It?

Quoting regularly helps to get more responses and bookings. Keep an eye on the market, when it's not summer, the demand may decrease and so you may have to expect to quote more to get consistent response. Make every quote bespoke, tailor it especially for them, for example with menu choices.

## What makes Feast It stand out from other platforms you've used?

Feast It profiles makes it easy for me to show and promote my business and show how our pizza is different from others. 

## What's the key thing you think helped you achieve early success on Feast It?

Quality is key, make sure you deliver on quality every time.

## What's been your favourite event through Feast It?

Film and TV set catering has been really good for earning potential.

## What are your plans for 2022?

We're looking to get a truck to expand our service area, have multiple setups and cater at more events. I would like to set up another profile on Feast It to run my catering service as I also do italian cuisine, canapes etc.

Smoky Gaucho is a London based caterer who has been with Feast It since April 2019 and, since then, they’ve worked on a staggering __91 events__ with us, generating __£136K in revenue__*. Founder and head chef, Charles, worked in professional kitchens for 15 years before starting Smoky Gaucho and infuses his now-infamous barbecued delights with flavours from his childhood in Southern Brazil. 

Read on to hear from Charles himself.

## What advice would you give to street food suppliers joining Feast It?

Take time to create your profile, make sure it's up to date. Be responsive and give customers timelines. Quoting is a numbers game, the more you put in the more you will get out. I have templates for everything, different event types, different responses (thanks for your booking etc).

## What makes Feast It stand out from other platforms you've used?

The human side of Feast It makes a big difference. It isn't just a robot that matches you to events, I get calls from the team for special recommendations. The transparency of information is helpful, being able to see the customer's budget upfront means I can be clear about the type of service my customer can expect. The platform is simple and transparent. We could earn £200k by the end of the year

## What's been your favourite event through Feast It?

Warmup festival 2021, it was a really busy weekend and we sold out from day one - over 500 portions were served. We made about £17k that weekend. Also, the opening weekend of Drumsheds this year was another super busy event, with 2 setups we sold 1600 portions.

## How did you find opening a second branch of the business alongside the original?

You realise that with Feast It, it's a whole world of opportunities. Often customers would ask me if I can serve drinks as well, so I decided to open up a bar as well. By offering a second service, my earning potential has doubled.

##  What is your key take away from running a business through a pandemic?

I never took my head away from my catering business. The demand really decreased and I had to close my business for a while, but during that time, I took on other jobs (accounting, lorry driving) to gain an income that would be invested back into my catering business. 

## What are your plans for 2022?
We are soon to open up another setup serving Mexican food. We have already tried this menu at various events and it is the most popular, selling 50% more than my other setups!
