As Manchester’s original Danish food and drink people, KRO Catering have established themselves as serious game players in the catering industry and their online presence needed to catch up and reflect this.  The idea around the rework of the website was to emphasize the range of services KRO Catering can offer.  The business has come a long way by continually adding to the range of services they can provide, as well as the size and type of events they can manage.

The KRO experience has been experienced at corporate events, private parties and festivals across the UK, often in the form of a pop-up bar.  KRO Catering has set up camp in the fields of Somerset, running a food and beverage service at Glastonbury, while still running events closer to home, like the main hub bar at Manchester’s Oktoberfest and the VIP area at Pride festivals. The new website’s gallery offers a taste of the variety of events that KRO Catering can host and the service they could bring to your event.

Having catered for the Dutch Swimming team as well as launching the South West Manchester Cricket Club Beer Festival this year, KRO Catering are currently providing the Sale Sharks with a pop-up bar at each of their home matches.  Catering can be provided on different scales and tapered to suit different budgets and details of the sorts of events that KRO Catering can hold for your local sports team, society or association can be found on the new site.  They can even help you in plan and host your own event.

The various menu options offered by KRO Catering are now easily accessible through the clearly defined pages and with the countdown to the festive season now on, this section currently features KRO’s Christmas menu.  There is also a booking section on the website, where initial information about your proposed event can be submitted to the Catering team, enabling them to give you as detailed a quote as possible.  To see what KRO Catering can offer for your next product launch, team building day, networking event or private party please visit www.krocatering.co.uk
