Another busy weekend meant do a mammoth round trip visiting several places today, dropping off hires at Smedmore House, Kimmerridge, Longthorne Farm, Wareham and Wimborne Town Football Club. A hire at Lilliput meant a chance to refuel at Mark Bennetts Patisserie. 🐊🍴🥂🐊🍽🐊

Another happy customer. We love hearing when we've done a good job and been part of someone's special day.

"We would like to add that the cutlery/plates/glassware were top quality and added a lovely touch to our reception.
We’ll definitely recommend you to friends! "

Crock-A-Dial was the inspiration of 2 male friends who worked together for a catering company over 40 years ago. At the time it was the joining of 2 families with young children who all worked closely together setting out the basis for what the company is today. Over time, the business evolved, eventually leading to the families going their separate way jn business, but the men remained close, firm friends. Yesterday those families were brought back together as we said goodbye to one of the founding fathers. It was the hardest day for so many, but his children (now adults themselves) would have made him so proud with their send off. Rest in peace, you will forever be loved and in our hearts.

The dreaded C word and that time is almost upon us again. Most people dont want to talk about it, but the shops are full of it and the kids are already writing their lists. Don't let yourself be on Santa's naughty list this year.🎅🎄 If you are holding a function or family gathering, get your hire orders in our diary. We are almost fully booked for December. Don't forget we can offer long term hire periods. So if you're having consecutive functions why not keep the equipment for the whole period. 🎄🐊⭐️🐊🥂🐊🍽🐊
