F&B INTERVIEW OF THE MONTH<br />
WASTE MANAGEMENT<br />
Malta Business Review<br />
BEYOND<br />
EXPECTATIONS...<br />
By Jean Paul Abela<br />
When sitting down with Noel Borg of Mannarinu Caterers, the conversation inevitably turns<br />
to the humble beginning of their catering business in the 1950s. Years later the business was<br />
inherited by the younger son Noel and his wife Bridget who nowadays along with their two<br />
sons manage a company committed to creating catering that surpasses expectations.<br />
“Going that extra mile for our clients has<br />
always been part of our vision as we seek<br />
to provide delicious food with added<br />
touches of class, creativity and quality,”<br />
says Noel Borg of Mannarinu Caterers.<br />
Nothing sets the tone of one’s celebration<br />
quite like an elegant, delicious menu.<br />
One of the most important choices one<br />
will make, as far as guests’ enjoyment is<br />
concerned, is the cuisine one chooses to<br />
offer. Whether one is having a reception<br />
with an offering of small bites and<br />
tasty treats, or planning out a refined,<br />
three-course meal – one must have full<br />
confidence in his wedding caterer.<br />
The hallmarks of Mannarinu caterers<br />
With over 50 years’ experience in the<br />
industry, Mannarinu and its highly trained<br />
team has the knowledge to guide it’s<br />
clientele to perfection. Mannarinu has keen<br />
attention to detail, high level of customer<br />
service coupled with a true sense of style in<br />
food display and table settings.<br />
The team is passionate about making every<br />
event an incredible experience, regardless<br />
of the size. Whether entertaining a few<br />
friends for a special occasion, hosting a<br />
substantial amount of guests for a lavish<br />
gala, or planning a garden wedding,<br />
dedicated staff will assist the clients’ needs<br />
and challenges before flawlessly planning<br />
the event.<br />
What kinds of cuisine does Mannarinu<br />
Caterers specialise in?<br />
Mannarinu is well known for its vast<br />
selection of food items, from traditional<br />
delicacies to recent innovations. All items<br />
are carefully produced locally from the<br />
finest and most natural ingredients with<br />
no added p<strong>res</strong>ervatives. Mannarinu can<br />
also customise menus to one’s unique<br />
taste. Food stations are a creative way to<br />
showcase the character of the new couple<br />
while wowing guests and pleasing an array<br />
of picky palates. Mannarinu’s signature<br />
dishes exquisitely fuse classic recipes<br />
along with innovative items. Guests may<br />
feast their eyes and bellies with spicy<br />
tuna, crazy crab, cooked salmon and Ebi<br />
kyuri at the Sushi table. The key to a show<br />
stopping coffee table is all in the detail and<br />
understanding on how best to display your<br />
delicacies. With over thirty types of mini<br />
petite fours and two chocolate fountains,<br />
our coffee table makes a statement at your<br />
wedding. The Cheese and Parma table<br />
includes cheeses from a variety of regions<br />
as well as quality salami and Parma ham.<br />
The Pasta table also offers an array of<br />
pasta accompanied with different sauces.<br />
For an extra touch of class and celebration,<br />
guests will have the opportunity to choose<br />
from a selection of whiskies from the<br />
Whisky Bar.<br />
The key to a show stopping<br />
coffee table is all in the detail<br />
and understanding on how<br />
best to display your delicacies<br />
Although Mannarinu’s past has been a<br />
celebration of success and the p<strong>res</strong>ent<br />
is very bright, the journey never stops.<br />
The future entails continuous hard<br />
work. "You're only as good as your last<br />
performance. The past is part of history<br />
but you have to build on last week or last<br />
night's performance to ensure the future<br />
remains strong,” explains Noel. <strong>MBR</strong><br />

Wasteserv Chairman, Mr David Borg said,<br />
“It is truly an honour for Wasteserv to have<br />
been selected as a National Champion<br />
in this p<strong>res</strong>tigious competition. We are<br />
extremely proud of the work we’ve done<br />
so far to serve the local community and<br />
we are glad to see our achievements<br />
being recognised at this level in Europe.”<br />
Wasteserv’s success in improving<br />
drastically the waste management<br />
infrastructure in Malta over the past 2<br />
years formed the basis of the company’s<br />
entry into the competition. Between<br />
April 2015 and February 2016, Wasteserv<br />
Malta inaugurated 4 new facilities – a<br />
Civic Amenity site at Ta’ Qali, a central<br />
location in Malta, an Autoclave Rendering<br />
Plant complementing the incinerator<br />
facility in Marsa, an underground<br />
new waste facility in Gozo and finally<br />
the biggest achievement being the<br />
inauguration of the €50 million ‘Malta<br />
North’ facility located within the Magħtab<br />
Environmental Complex. In line with<br />
Wasteserv’s vision, a vision redefined<br />
fol<strong>low</strong>ing a rebranding exercise launched<br />
in July 2015, all these new facilities<br />
contribute to ‘creating <strong>res</strong>ources from<br />
waste’ either through the preparation<br />
of materials for recycling or through the<br />
generation of renewable energy from the<br />
treatment of non-recyclable waste. <strong>MBR</strong><br />
