Govindam Catering Services

We run Govindam Catering Services out of Gopal Sadan, which is located in the Damoh Naka area of Jabalpur. It’s a local neighborhood and we’ve been here for quite some time now. Specifically, we are in Gopal Vihar. Catering is a tough business because there is always something to do and deadlines are tight. Our days usually start before the sun comes up. We have to get the stoves going and start prepping the ingredients for whatever event we have that day. It’s a lot of heavy lifting with big pots and pans. Jabalpur is a nice place, though it can get very quiet in the afternoons. Damoh Naka is a busy junction, so there’s always noise from the trucks and buses passing through. We don't have a storefront where people sit and eat; we mostly work in the back and then take the food to the venues. Sometimes it’s a wedding, other times it’s just a small family gathering or a birthday party. We have a small team of cooks and helpers who know exactly what needs to be done without me saying much. We don't really go for fancy decorations on our vans or anything. We just focus on the cooking part and getting things delivered on time. My uncle started this a long time ago and we just kept it going. It’s hard work, especially in the heat, but it’s what we know how to do.
