Caterer

Our place is at B 33 in Bapuji Nagar, right near the 8B Bus Stand in Regent Estate. It is a handy spot because everyone knows the bus stand. We have been here for years, just cooking and packing meals. We don’t have a fancy name, just Caterer, because that is exactly what we do. We don't see the point in overcomplicating things. If someone needs fish curry and rice for a hundred people, they come talk to us. We spend a lot of our time over hot stoves and cleaning huge pans. It is hard work and the kitchen gets very hot, especially in the summer months. We are just regular people making food for other regular people. Sometimes the shop is a bit messy with crates of vegetables or stacks of plates, but that’s because we are always busy with an order. We don’t have a marketing team or anyone to take professional photos of our food. What you see is what you get. We buy our supplies from the local market around Regent Estate and we know the vendors there by name. It’s a quiet life in some ways, but it gets frantic when a big order comes in. We just focus on the cooking and making sure there is enough for everyone to eat. It is simple work, but someone has to do it.
