Websites for catering companies that show the food and take the booking
People choose a caterer with their eyes. Before anyone reads a word about you, they have already decided from your photos whether your food looks right for their wedding, their office lunch or their mum's wake. A good catering website does two jobs at once: it sells the one-off events, and it makes the regular orders quick to place. We are Sokada, a family-run web design company in Heathfield, and we have built both, including a bespoke lunch-ordering app for a catering client just up the road from us.
Who you're selling to
Your enquiries come from very different people. A couple planning a wedding, and their planner. An office manager who needs sandwiches for twelve by Thursday. Someone arranging a funeral wake who wants it handled quietly and without fuss. A company that wants the same lunch delivery every week. They rarely sit at a desk to find you. They search on a phone, usually with 'near me' or a town name, they open three or four caterers at once, and they judge fast. If your menus are a PDF that will not open properly on a phone, or the only way to reach you is a bare contact form that gives no clue whether you do the sort of thing they want, they close the tab and message the next caterer instead. The site has to show the food and make asking for a price feel quick and obvious.
We're just up the road
We are in Heathfield, in the middle of the Sussex catering trade you already know. That closeness is worth something. We can come to you, see your kitchen, taste what you do and work out whether you are mostly weddings, mostly corporate lunches or a bit of both, because the website should be built around that and not dropped into a template that treats every caterer the same. We have been building sites for 30 years, and you deal with the same family each time rather than a new account manager every quarter. When you need a menu changed before a busy weekend, you ring us on 01435 817226 and it gets done.
