Catering Support Services
Catering support services from a partner who understands hospitality from the ground up.
How We Support Your Business
Wine, food and operations, working together for your venue.
Our catering support services are organised around three areas that matter most to hospitality buyers: getting the wine and food pairing right, running the operation efficiently, and sourcing the right ingredients for the kitchen. Each is available on its own or as part of a wider account relationship, so venues can draw on exactly the level of support they need, whether that is a single consultation or an ongoing partnership.
Restaurants, hotels, gastro pubs and wedding venues rarely need the same thing twice. A wine list refresh for one client might sit alongside dough development for another, and a hospitality group managing several sites has different priorities again. Because we work across wine, food and operations rather than a single discipline, our catering support services can flex to match the shape of your business, drawing on real product knowledge rather than generic consultancy advice.
Food & Wine Pairing
Getting a wine list right takes more than a good supplier list. It takes an understanding of how acidity, tannins and polyphenols interact with a menu, and how a dish’s aftertaste changes what should be poured beside it. Our team works directly with venues on wine list curation for hotels, restaurants and wedding venues, building selections around the realities of a working kitchen rather than a generic list.
We consider the full guest experience, from how a dish is described on the page to how a server introduces the wine beside it. The result is a list that feels considered rather than assembled, and a team that feels confident recommending it.
What we cover:
- Food and wine pairing principles
- Matching menus across meat, fish, poultry, vegetarian dishes, starters and desserts
- Wine pairing with cheese
- Dish and wine descriptions that support guest engagement

Management Consultancy
Behind every well-run kitchen or wine programme is a set of decisions that rarely make it onto the menu. Our catering support services extend into this operational layer, helping venues make sense of production, cost and workforce decisions with the same rigour they apply to sourcing.
We also support businesses that carry our private label wine for restaurants, advising on how exclusive ranges can be positioned within a wider list to strengthen margin and distinctiveness. Whether a venue is refining an existing operation or planning a new one, we bring a practical, trade-facing perspective grounded in what works in a working kitchen.
What we cover:
- Organisation of centralised production for fresh, MAP or frozen products
- Production organisation within a single restaurant or pizzeria
- Identifying where your business is most competitive
- Workforce organisation and training
- Food cost calculation and cost control
- Design of restaurants, pizzerias, takeaways and food trucks

Technical & Product Consultancy
Technical consultancy at Casa Di Vini is grounded in ingredients we know well. As regional distributor for Le 5 Stagioni across South West England and Wales, we bring genuine product knowledge to every conversation about dough, flour selection and baking technique, not a general overview borrowed from elsewhere. Our catering support services in this area are built around turning a kitchen’s specific requirements into something workable, from first concept through to a finished, repeatable result.
That depth of knowledge means kitchens using Le 5 Stagioni flour get consistent, well-informed results rather than trial and error, backed by a team that understands the flour as well as the finished dough.
What we cover:
- Bespoke pizza dough development for your kitchen
- Defining specific, exclusive recipes
- Sourcing equipment and raw materials
- Research and development of specific ingredients
- Testing and evaluation across doughs and baking techniques
- Ingredient coding by pizza style and baking method

Why Choose Casa Di Vini
We are not a consultancy working at arm's length. We import and represent the wines and ingredients we recommend, so every piece of advice on wine list curation, menu pairing or dough development is grounded in products we know first-hand. That includes our role as regional distributor of Le 5 Stagioni flour, which gives our technical guidance a depth that generic consultancy cannot match.
From first enquiry to ongoing account support, we treat every catering support services relationship as a long-term partnership, built on consistency, trust and a genuine understanding of the hospitality trade.
