Dinner parties can be stressful occasions at the best of times, especially for the organiser… but help is at hand from an innovative culinary website.

Banquet in a Box ( www.banquetinabox.co.uk ) supplies top quality gourmet meals to anyone brave or foolhardy enough to plan a sophisticated get-together for friends, family or business associates.

A wide variety of meals – all using ingredients produced near the company headquarters in Exeter – are available, enabling organisers to cater for any occasion and concentrate on more pressing matters like who to invite and which topics to avoid.

Director Lisa Hayes said: “Anyone who's hosted a dinner party before will know how stressful it can be to organise, and that's before you even get started on the menu!

“You have to make sure there are no personality clashes, match-make for your single friends, arrange after-dinner entertainment – the list is seemingly endless.

“By supplying and delivering meals anywhere in the country with just 48 hours' notice, we can do our bit to reduce the stress involved, and ensure the centrepiece of the evening is a complete triumph!

“All the customer has to do is heat everything up, so the only problem is it will be so successful you'll be inundated with requests for more dinner parties!”

Banquet in a Box has grown rapidly since its inception in November 2004, and now supplies to customers all over the UK . Company turnover for 2006 is up 75% on last year's figures, with the seasonal Christmas boom still to come.

All business is done via the company website, with a range of menus on offer to suit the customer's pocket.
