How to Choose the Right Catering Menu for Your Event

Jul 12, 2023

Consider Dietary Requirements

Respecting guests' food preferences creates an inclusive environment and understanding of allergies, intolerances as well as religious dietary considerations to choose the best catering option. Separation of the food array best allows guests to eat freely without fear of food contamination and limiting meal options. Consider using fresh product based on seasonality to ensure strong flavours and high-quality dishes.

St Laurent offers a plethora of catering options that take into account vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and low-gluten eaters without sacrificing delicious flavours.

Choose which Convenience Best Compliments the Event

Creating the perfect event involves curating the perfect menu to go along with it. Avoid larger meals and opt for finger foods when kids make up a large part of the guest list. In contrast, the buffet style is a hit amongst corporate parties for people to take what they need and avoid food wastage. Networking events tend to cater for mess-free options like arancini balls, our Finger Sandwiches and fried appetisers by avoiding soupy dumplings and frosted cupcakes.

Consult your Caterer Carefully

Closely working with your caterer allows deep insight into how to heighten your event and bring people closer together by consulting the delivery method and at what time is optimal, and if it can feed the appropriate number of guests without a surplus of food left over. Consider how it would be best served and displayed. A reputable caterer has prior experience and would advise the best options that best meet needs and budgets.
