Our Story

CQ Catering was established in 2004 as Cafe Quays, a sandwich and coffee shop with external catering services. In 2014, we rebranded as CQ Catering, focusing on external catering and event catering services. We moved into a purpose-built prep unit in Croft, Cheshire, and began to expand our customer base. During the Covid pandemic, we diversified into domestic catering, offering take-away afternoon teas and bespoke celebration cakes, which have become a staple of our business.

Our Accreditations

We hold the maximum Five-Star Food Hygiene rating and are proud to have all our staff trained in City & Guilds Level 2 Food Hygiene and CPD Food Allergen Awareness. Our commitment to quality and safety ensures that our clients can have confidence in our services.
