Is planning the work Christmas party catering giving you a headache you just don’t need?
It’s that most wonderful time of year again and we can’t believe how quickly Christmas has come around. Last time we looked it was slap bang in the middle of Spring/Summer wedding season, now it’s Christmas parties ahoy!
Work Christmas parties are a great way to have some fun with your workmates, but if you’re the one organising the big event, then that’s exactly what it can feel like – WORK!
You should be allowed to enjoy yourself at this time of year, but doubtless, as the Christmas party organiser, you’ll be fretting about making the right impression and pleasing everyone. If so, then there’s certainly one way we can help.
Find the right caterer
Food and drink is one of the most popular parts of a work Christmas party and it’s a big opportunity to make the whole occasion go with a bang – after all, it is time to eat, drink and be merry, so what’s stopping you?
It might be that you’re uncertain about how to get your work Christmas party catering right. If you haven’t booked a caterer before, how can you know for definite that they’ll be the right one for you?
There’s a quick and easy solution to that – check the reviews left by previous customers in places such as on Google and Facebook. Look at the caterer’s website, does it appeal and can you see examples of where they have done work Christmas party catering in the past?
Check what services your local caterer can provide and make sure that these are the right ones for you. For example, do they offer mobile bar hire, if that’s what you require? Can they provide a range of food which suits the tastes of those who will be there? If you have a variety of dietary requirements within your Christmas party guests, can they easily cater for this?
The key here is flexibility, because no two work Christmas parties are the same – and as such, this should also apply to the food. The choice of catering for your work Christmas party should be made only by you and your colleagues, so how do you decide on which foods to choose?
Getting your work Christmas party catering right
The world should be your oyster when it comes to the type of food and drink that you lay on for your work Christmas party. Consider injecting a bit of flair into your catering plans and you’ll have every chance of getting your event talked about around the water cooler for a good few months to come.
When setting a high standard for all to aspire to in the years that follow, being creative is key. So, once you’ve taken into account the practicalities of the location and the dietary requirements of the guests, why not push the boat out? Consider the following as examples:
- A never ending choice of creative canapes
- Banging blinis to accompany your glass of fizz
- Vibrant grazing tables bursting with colour
- Vegan and vegetarian food to tantalise the most committed carnivore
- Simply smashing street food stalls
- An array of superbly fresh seafood
These are just a taste – of course, the possibilities are absolutely endless!
