Tips for a Successful BBQ Catered Event
We understand that planning a successful catered event requires careful consideration of various factors. Here are some tips to ensure your BBQ catered event is a hit:
Menu Planning
- Know Your Audience: The catering menu should accommodate diverse guests and match your event’s theme. Consider factors like adults vs. children, event timing, and service style to create a menu that appeals to the masses.
- Match Menu and Service Style to Your Theme: Consider the event’s purpose (business or pleasure) and choose a menu and service style that fits best. Events with a schedule may flow better with dedicated food service times, while mingling events may benefit from a buffet-style approach.
- Offer Choices and Customize: Our catering professionals recommend offering choices to cater to different palates. Work with a caterer that offers customizations to ensure there’s something for everyone.
- Plan the Right Amount of Food: The amount of food needed depends on your guest list size. Follow the “1/2 Pound Rule,” which suggests 1/2 pound of meat per adult guest, plus sides and beverages.
Guest Preferences
- Accommodate Dietary Restrictions: When planning the menu, ask your guests about any dietary requirements, needs, or preferences. This ensures you can provide suitable options for everyone.
- Offer Vegetarian/Vegan Options: While BBQ is meat-centric, consider offering vegetarian or vegan options for guests who don’t consume meat. Our delicious sides and starters can accommodate various dietary preferences.
- Provide Seating and Utensils: BBQ events can get messy, so ensure you have enough tables, chairs, and utensils to mitigate spills and provide a comfortable dining experience.
- Consider Safety Measures: If catering during the pandemic, take steps like reducing guest lists, spacing out seating, and offering boxed lunches instead of buffets to prioritize safety.
By following these tips, we’ll work closely with you to create a memorable and enjoyable BBQ catered event that caters to your guests’ preferences and ensures their satisfaction.
