Guidelines on Different catering options:

Fancy Fingerfoods, Bountiful Brunch, Impressive Afternoon Tea
Fingerfoods are perfect when not all guests have to be seated, and is a wonderful
option for allowing guests to mingle and chat and even network.
Fingerfoods allows you the opportunity to have a wide variety of foods that
can be substituted for a main meal.
It is cost efficient alternative without the additional charges such as
hiring of tables, chairs, linen, cutlery and crockery etc.
Fingerfoods by far are the easiest form of catering, and do not require as many staff
as other forms of catering.
Depending on how you present it and what items you select,
fingerfoods can range from informal to formal. |

Sumptuous Buffet, Delectable Carvery, Tasteful BBQ
Buffets are a great option for a number of occasions ranging from informal to
formal depending on they style of food you select.
Guests enjoy helping them selves according to their preferences.
Buffets cater to a variety of foods and are a great way to accomodate different
seasonal changes.
Buffets are a quick way to serve guests and do not require as many staff as
formal sit down ocassions.
Buffets can incorporate fingerfoods and fork food so it is not necessary for all
guests to be seated, so guests are allowed to eat and then mingle and chat. |

Sit Down - Formal Dining
A la carte (Formal dining) usually consisting of a 3 course meal is by far
the most costly food service.
More staff than other forms of dining are required, usually a waiter to 25
guests.
Formal dining requires the most equipment ie tables, chairs, crockery, cutlery,
table clothes, glassware, decorations,etc.
Because you are plating the meals individually, formal dining in a home
environment needs space to work (bench space- table space) and room is required
to be able to decorate the plates for stylish presentation.
Formal dining looks classy and elegant and keeps a function organised and
orderly. |
