Welcome to our website

The aim of this site is to give you a taste (no pun intended) of what BY REQUEST can offer, for both domestic and commercial clients, the quality of our products and services, & what some of our satisfied customers have had to say about us.

    BY REQUEST have been established in Cheadle Stockport, Manchester since 1988. Our tag line is "Great food, hand made, fresh everyday".

Slowly individuals are interested in the foods they buy and the foods they eat - which is great to see. More and more in these days of factory mass produced foods we are proud to be able to hand make all the items on our menus, enabling us to ensure quality, freshness and the ability to tailor make dishes to suit you the customers needs.

This is the case whatever the event such as a private house party for a birthday celebration, a wedding or a christening. Whatever the style weather its an elegant dinner party, a hot supper or a barbecue.

It may be a corporate event to celebrate an office or shop opening where waitresses mingle to offer gourmet canapés, or simply a finger buffet over lunch time where you entertain clients.

By Royal Apointment!!

We thought we had “arrived” when we were asked to cater for the visit to Manchester of the Duchess of Gloucester, but as you can see from the photo above we reached the top of the Royal family tree!!!

Her Royal Highness Elizabeth II recently visited one of our clients to take part in a fun night for staff. She was treated to a tasty selection of hand created nibbly treats produced by the chefs of By Request, she was waited on hand and foot. Her every whim was attended to. At the end of the evening we bowed respectfully and withdrew………………it turned out she was called Edna and she was a “look a like”!! Just shows you cant trust anyone!!!

As Mad as a Hatter!!!!

Dear Carl,

 The evening was a fantastic success.5 people from the Arts Council were there and also 5 people from the BBC. They were all very impressed and it looks like we are going to get support from both of them. not least they were impressed by The Mad Hatters party, The spread you put on was fantastic and I am very grateful to you for doing such a good job. 

 Thanks again.

By Request Testimonial

24 July 2011

Many, many thanks indeed for the excellent food that you provided yesterday at our Golden Wedding Anniversary celebrations The food was enjoyed by everyone. The service couldn’t have been better. The two servers who were very friendly were most attentive and responded to our every need, they were perfect. I will recommend your company to all that need outside caterers that are reliable and provide good food. In fact only today I have today passed on your name and telephone number to a friend who is about to about to hold a wedding reception

Many thanks once again.
