Canadian Business Awards 2020

22 CORPORATE VISION / Canadian Business Awards 2020 , The growth of North Moore Catering comes from its almost unique approach to catering. Bringing a New York sensibility to Ontario palates, the caterer’s bespoke, boutique approach to gastronomy has tantalised taste buds and drawn people in partly because of the exceptional quality and partly because every event is different. North Moore Catering specializes in the creation of seasonally appropriate, locally sourced, scratch-made food for events ranging from social gatherings to corporate events to a couple’s most important wedding day. Their food is brought in fresh for each event and is rarely frozen. Every menu is prepped in advance and finished fresh on site. For offsite events, the crew bring their own portable kitchen, complete with grills, convection ovens, deep fryers, pizza ovens and butane cook tops as appropriate. This allows food to be seared and cooked fresh on site, piping hot for delighted guests. The result is food closer to the standard of a restaurant as opposed to a wedding buffet. Only food such as braised beef short ribs or house smoked brisket are hotboxed because the quality won’t be compromised. North Moore Catering has become infamous for their food quality standards. Their philosophy is simple, as they take a “less is more” approach to ingredients (K.I.S.S) as they are careful not to muddle in too many flavours thus allowing the high quality food to speak for itself and not become masked. Food is always cooked fresh on site so as not to compromise quality. Quality is paramount to the team at North Moore Catering, and they will not sacrifice it for anything. As a point of principle, they would rather not cater a gig than compromise their reputation for exceptional food thanks to budget or venue constraints. Instead of mass-produced products, North Moore Catering specializes in the provision of something a little different. Inspiration comes from a variety of places, with the team keeping up with trends and menus from all over the USA and Canada. The delight of North Moore Catering is that there is no set menu and there are no limitations. Instead, everything can be customized to suit the client, with new and exciting ideas making an event truly special. A popular concept is the miniaturization of things, taking a favorite dish such as braised lamb shank over polenta and transforming it into a canapé. While the food is the focus and passion of North Moore Catering, the team always take a holistic approach to events. An intimate knowledge Best High-End Event Caterers 2020 - Southern Ontario All events should be extraordinary andmemorable for everyone involved. Instead of settling for a cookie cutter solution, theway that food is created and presented should reflect the event as a whole. NorthMoore Catering Ltd. excels at this approach, making thoroughly unique cuisine that trulymatches the needs of the occasion. In this light of the company’s award achievement, we take a closer look to see what sets themapart. Jan20211 of floor planning, logistics and rentals means that nothing is ever not their job and they will go above and beyond to ensure that a special event is exactly that. This is a staff that have shovelled driveways, scraped windows, carried gifts, walked people with umbrellas to cars, fixed photo booths and hung lights, and if there is a surprise food issue that arises, they find a way to make sure that every guest leaves happy. The future looks bright for North Moore Catering, with plans to expand into the realm of experiential tourism well underway. The intention is for the team to start an experience that incorporates a mystery box cooking challenge and a scavenger hunt as well as a 4-course meal paired to imitate Art and Food in Museum London. There will be prizes for both the cooking challenge and scavenger hunt. These events are designed to appeal to corporate events and groups, hopefully creating a slightly different, more sophisticated experience when compared to other activities. Top tier catering has never looked, or tasted, so good. An innovative approach has given this business a tremendous boost, setting it apart from its competitors. With the importance of food being fresh, local and quality at the heart of the company ethos, this is a company with an eye fixed firmly on the future of catering.
