Papa John's logoStephen RussellContracts Manager, Papa John's

Papa John's has high customer service and brand excellence standards, which we expect of all our business partners. That is why we have appointed Springfield Catering as a preferred supplier. They have consistently delivered to a high standard, within budget and on time. Their professional and proactive approach has enabled Papa John's to deliver its store growth numbers year on year. They are very much a key part of our ongoing development.

“We can relax knowing that the design through to handover of the project is taken care of.”

Springfield have been a major part of Cosmo restaurants development over the past six years. From the initial site survey Richard undertakes on our new stores, we can relax knowing that the design through to handover of the project is taken care of. Always willing to accommodate late changes and put in the extra shifts to make it happen, we are delighted with the standard of workmanship. The aftercare support we have received is also another key element for us when considering contractors and we have been very impressed with Springfield to date.

Langan's Brasserie

“A superb service in every way.”

Springfield Catering Direct provided a superb service in every way during our recent extensive refurbishment of Langan's Brasserie, Stratton Street, Mayfair, London. Their onsite surveying, manufacturing and installation of several custom made cooker hoods and items of stainless steel was excellent. They have no problem in fitting into a very tight schedule and I very much look forward to working with them in the future.

We at Jestic Foodservice fully endorse Springfield and have worked closely on many different projects from Domino's, Papa Johns and even our own test kitchen in Manchester. Always willing to adapt to meet deadlines. As a large provider to the catering industry ourselves, we must have the professionalism and work ethic that meets our own standards and Springfield provide just that on a national level.
