Hi
I am hoping that somebody may be able to give me the benefit of their experience.
My other half is extremely good at and passionate about cooking. A family Christmas dinner for 25 wouldnt and doesnt hold any terrors. Whenever there is a family or freinds event it always seems be us that hosts or organises the food element. Your probably thinking what on earth is he going on about. About a year ago she was asked to lay on a cold buffet (about 50 people) for a freind of a freind at a function room at a local sport centre. Everybody concerned was impressed, the sports centre invited her back the following week to lay on another similar sized buffet - from there she has done on average two varying sized events a month over the last 12 months with the sportcentre reactively promoting her service. So without really realising it she has the making of a small business albeit in the embronic stages.
The next stage is to build a web site and then market, this is where I am lost. Is it a case of finding similar locations that can be hired for functions -then mailshot them/phone them. I dont want to waste possible prospects by aproaching them amateurishly.
It would be a real shame if she could not exploit her talent and make a go of this.

Has anyone hear been in a similar position - if so it would intersting to know how they moved forward.

Applogies if the above seems like the ramblings of a nutter.
