When deciding on a menu for a special occasion or corporate event the first decision is often the hardest - set menu or buffet? The word buffet has at times been synonymous with poor quality. We probably have all been to a buffet when the food is indistinguishable, then invariably runs out before you get to the front of the queue. But although mass feeding can lead to a dip in standards it doesn't have to. In fact the key benefit of having a buffet is that it allows your guests to choose what they like and how much they want to eat. Some guests may be small eaters while others may be after seconds or possibly thirds. A well run buffet can lead you to having more feeding options including having hot and cold food; buffets come in all sorts of guises, ranging from finger buffets and canapés to cold fork and hot buffets. It's a social thing How often have you attended a wedding and just ended up spending time with your table (who you more often then not already know) or been to a corporate event when you immediately become acquainted with only the person sat with you at the dinner table, sometimes whether you like them or not? Buffets can provide the perfect backdrop for people to be able to socialize or network instead It's not just about the food. The difference between a buffet being well run and a "free-for-all" debacle is often down to the organisation and staff as much as is the meal options. Having attentive staff on duty to cater to your guests needs and ensure your buffet remains well stocked and hot can greatly affect the running of your event. And ensuring you have the right ambience with quality china, cutlery, linen and flowers and table decorations can also help to make an event special. And what about the extras such as a chocolate fountain or an ice sculpture? A reputable catering firm can make sure your event will be remembered for all the right reasons. A buffet can be more than a meal. If you are a business having a well run buffet can be reflective of your company's quality. If you are getting married the meal plays a large part of your guests' enjoyment of the day and memory of it! So in order to get it right you need to employ a quality catering company who will make sure your buffet truly represents your event.
