Cater Your Needs: Four Types Of Catering
Catering comes in many different styles and formats, and of course, each different style is appropriate for different sorts of gatherings and events.
Types of catering, meaning the types of foods and drinks that are served and in what quantities, and also decorations, layouts and inclusions, can be more structurally complex than people first think, and that is the exact reason behind us creating this list.
So here you have it, four different types of catering and what sorts of thing to expect with them.
Corporate Catering
We’ve all been there, gathered in the meeting room or in a conference or just in the office block in general, thinking that we could really use some nice finger food and a selection of tasty drinks right about now. Well, this is where corporate catering comes in.
The benefits of having food taken care of for you are many. With having food delivered to the workplace, it takes the thought of it off your mind, leaving you to focus on the more important tasks at hand and allowing you more time to work.
Popular food types in this sort of catering include: box lunches, a selection of traditional buffets and continental breakfasts – sounds tasty!
Social Events
Basically a more laidback, fun version of the above form of catering. Catering for social events places a little less stress on speed and ease, and a little more on entertainment and the fun-factor of the venue. Things that wouldn’t quite go down to well in an office environment. At least not if you actually wanted to get some work done…
Whether it is a BBQ, a birthday, a christening – whatever the occasion: expect balloons, appetizers, good food and of course good drinks, with your very own bartender. Fancy!
Concession Catering
This is catering on a whole new level, and should not be handled by anyone other than the pros.
In this generation, and in most generations before, wherever there are a lot of people, there’s also a lot of food. Catering of this type tends to cover major sporting events and public gatherings like parades or carnivals.
Expect burger stand foods: burgers, hotdogs, bacon cheese fries, ice cream, donuts – pretty much anything delicious you can think of, it’ll all be there.
Wedding After Parties
A spin of finesse comes into play where wedding catering is concerned.
The last thing a bride or groom wants is a sloppy service at their wedding, which is why catering companies work very hard alongside them and with their direct instructions, in order to create the day of their dreams.
From the drinks menu and the cake, all the way down to the decorations and what type of small fruit the dessert will be topped with – all of these things must be considered when catering for a wedding. And that’s not even the half of it!
Consider Yourself Educated
Now that you’ve had the rundown of what the different types of catering are and what they cover, you can select what sorts of things you’ll need with more confidence. So you can go on positively, and select the type of catering you need to make the amazing event you’re planning even more amazing.
