Carringtons Catering is welcoming the return of its jam-packed events diary with dates already being booked up until 2025. Hitting record numbers in its 40-year history, the team look set to cater for up to 15 events a week during this next 12 months, with some wedding and private functions requiring more than 70 members of staff to facilitate them. It’s a stark contrast to the previous two years for the company’s directors Darren and Helen Wynn who were heavily hit by the pandemic and left with no choice but to put operations on hold until the easing of national restrictions. Master Chef of Great Britain and director Darren says, “We’re back to doing what we love with the venues we’re proud to work with – we’ve never been this busy.”
Carringtons Catering is one of the North West’s longest standing independent caterers, providing bespoke catering, event and hospitality services. The team has built an outstanding reputation for delivering culinary excellence and a professional service, together with a first-class dining experience.
Helen added, “It’s great to know that people are still planning for the future and that they haven’t been deterred by the events of the last few years. Many have been waiting years to have their dream days, so we feel very proud to have been chosen to make these happen. We have so many exciting things coming up in 2022 and beyond, and it’s great to be back.” Watch this space!

Few people have seen this evolution up close quite like DJ China L'One, founder of We Run the World, the UK's leading Black-owned, all-female DJ agency.
