FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We have 2 divisions: Southern Accents is primarily our most budget friendly, no frills division. We have all prices on that menu. Prices are for groups less than 100 and groups over 100. Some Plates Different is our newest division and was created by our clients that loved our food and service but wanted more upscale presentations. They trust us to design custom menus while keeping their guests or business "brands" in mind. Both divisions are dedicated to using the best local ingredients available whenever possible.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We understand our clients busy lifestyles and usually a 15 to 30 minute phone call (or even email) is all the time we need to understand exactly what you are looking for in a caterer. We do not hire "high pressure" sales people and we encourage all potential clients to shop around. We are not the most expensive nor are we the cheapest but we will never compromise on our food quality or service.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Husband and Wife team grew up in the hospitality business in Boston and Cape Cod. We both worked front of the house and back of the house for several of the top caterers in Boston before opening our own BBQ company, Green Mountain BBQ. After several years of catering in the Boston area we sold our business and moved to Estero and started Southern Accents BBQ. After hiring a C.I.A. trained chef we expanded to a full service catering company. My husband runs the kitchen and I do the buffet design and set up. We attend several of the countries biggest catering expos every year and are constantly on the hunt for the newest trends in food, buffets, props and décor packages.
