Our Story: Event Caterers in Altrincham Since 1992

Francs Event Catering

Our Story

Nick’s passion for cooking started in 1979 working in Paris at PLM Saint Jacques hotel, and Chef Gerard Vie at Les Trois Marche a 2 Star Michelin restaurant in Versailles.

Meanwhile Louise was learning the art of cocktail bartending in 1979 at the 5-star Imperial Hotel in Torquay.

In 1982 we met at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay and that’s when our journey started together.

After working abroad at some of the most renowned restaurants and hotels in the world, we came back home to the UK to run our own restaurant - Francs in Altrincham. For over 25 years we had the pleasure of seeing many new recruits become successful chefs and managers.

But it was running our catering business where we found what we love. No two days are the same and we love helping our clients put on events to remember with food to match.

Throughout our careers, we’ve always been steadfast in our commitment to quality food. We’re very sustainably minded and always try to source local food - look out for us at Smithfield Market & Farmers Markets. We use natural, unprocessed natural oils and make sure that when catering for any dietary requirement, we don’t compromise on taste.
