Strangely Familiar, But Altogether Different

Delicate and lovingly crafted, the Strawberry Tart produced by Classic Catering looks, at first glance, like many other Strawberry Tarts.

But one bite proves otherwise. And that’s what makes this, one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of specialist patisserie in Great Britain, so very different.

Every product the company makes utilises only the finest, freshest, ingredients to individual customer specifications. This is ‘artisanship’ in the real sense of the word.

Working from modern, hygienic production facilities in Manchester, accredited to BRC standards, Classic Catering produce both fresh and frozen products for a wide range of discerning clients, from major breweries, sporting venues and premiership football clubs through to high class hotel chains, restaurants and independent catering outlets.
Classic Catering has a portfolio of over 500 product lines, all hand made by its expert pastry chefs. What’s more, it loves trying out new recipes and experimenting with new tastes, flavours and textures.

So, while there’s always a ready supply of its much-loved favourites, there’s always something new and different emerging from its ovens! The company prides itself on NPD (New Product Development) and has a dedicated team that it is currently looking to expand.

The product is unrivalled … but then again so is the service. Talk to the company’s highly experienced and knowledgeable team and you are instantly transported to an era where service and attention to detail were the standard of the time. You will be greeted by friendly staff who, with their intricate knowledge of the patisserie industry, can assist you in your choices.

This is only possible because Classic Catering invests heavily in its people, ensuring that they enjoy interesting careers with real potential rather than just ‘jobs’.

The company has also put significant investment into its infrastructure and machinery. Recently, for instance, it has extended its factory by 4000sq2 to incorporate new high-care and low-care lines, a storage facility, and an ultra-sonic cutting machine. Classic Catering has also purchased the building it operates in too; and all of this has been achieved over the last 15 months, underlining the company’s ongoing growth and success in what is an economically challenging marketplace.

There are a number of reasons for this; not least that Classic Catering provides an all-inclusive service. This means refusing to go through the wholesaler and distributor route and instead delivering directly to customers’ doors via its modern 20-strong fleet of vehicles, which operate out of the company’s Manchester and London premises. It’s a service that is hard to beat too: order by 3.00pm today, for instance, and your delivery will be in Brighton (as an example) for the following morning.

Moreover, the company’s commitment to quality was clearly underlined recently when it passed its annual two-day BRC inspection; a new version than is more stringent than before, achieving the highest level ‘A’ grade possible.

Classic Catering firmly believes that no other manufacturer can match its exciting product range, passion for quality and excellent customer service.
