The people behind North & Tide.
Three trades, one outfit, one reputation — here's how a waffle stall turned into events catering and PAT testing too.
Three trades, one outfit, one reputation.
It started with a waffle evening one Halloween — a griddle set up on a whim, and enough interest from people passing by that word got around before the night was even over. What was meant to be a one-off turned into a regular thing, then parties, then somehow a proper little business.
The PAT testing side came from a similar place. After testing the appliances at Hotel 242, it seemed obvious — small hotels and offices need this done properly, without dealing with a call centre to get it. So now that's on offer too.
Different jobs, same steady hands. Show up when we say we will, charge what we quote, and treat a wedding marquee with exactly the same care as a hotel's fuse board — because it's the same person doing both, and that's rather the point.
"If we wouldn't trust it in our own kitchen or our own office, we won't hand it back to you certified."
