A Short Guide To Organising A Pleasing Buffet

by Preet Joshi CELEBRATIONS LLP

Buffets are convenient when you are serving a large number of guests and want to cut down on food wastage. Whether you are hosting a wedding party or celebrating a big event, choosing one of the best catering services in Bangalore can be the ideal for a great buffet. Here are a few things you should keep in mind when hosting a buffet:

  • Plan in advance: You must have a clear idea of the budget before you start preparing for the buffet. This will help you choose the catering service and prepare the guest list much more easily. Before the day of the event, go over all the arrangements for the buffet and make sure everything is checked and as per requirement in your list.

  • Systemic order for the food: Chaos is a real possibility when you are trying to feed a large number of people at the same time. Having all the food in a systemic order can be key with clearly established starting and ending points in the buffet. Separate sections for vegetarian and non-vegetarian food is a must with starters, the main course and desserts being arranged systematically.

  • Separate arrangement for drinks: The ideal way to arrange for a buffet is to have separate preparations for the food and drinks. Since the serving procedure is totally different, making separate stations equals less hassle for both the servers and the guests. Most banquet halls in Bangalore also follow this pattern to ensure efficiency during the dining period.

  • Multiple stacks for everything: It is a good idea to have multiple stacks of all the items or at least the most essential ones. A crowd can gather at the station where cutlery and plates are present, so having multiple stacks of plates, forks and napkins is a must. The same could be done for certain food items that you expect will be popular to avoid any hassle for the guests.
  • Labelling: All the dishes being served should have proper labels so that guests can clearly and easily identify everything. You could also have labels so that places serving drinks or the different courses can be easily distinguished. If you are serving different cuisines, labelling becomes all the more important.

Depending on the size of the guest list, a buffet can involve complicated logistics that can often be difficult to handle. Make sure the basics like the quality of food and arrangement of the buffet are proper and everything else should work out.
