Practical tips for your event catering

A little planning keeps your event running smoothly. These points help you get the format, quantities, drinks and logistics right.

Match format to guest count

Small receptions carry finger food and a flying buffet well; from around 80 guests, stations and buffets flow more smoothly. For large outdoor events, food trucks are the eye-catcher and ease the queues.

Plan guest flow & timing

For a standing reception, count 6–8 bites per person per hour. Spread food stations around the room so no queues form, and align serving with programme moments like speeches.

Budget drinks separately

Drinks are usually billed separately – by consumption or as a flat rate. Plan around two drinks per person per hour and clarify whether the bar, bartender and glasses are included.

Staff the event properly

A rule of thumb is one server per 25–30 guests at a buffet, more for a plated menu. Too few staff slows things down – confirm the numbers in the offer so serving and pouring keep pace.

Clarify venue logistics early

Check access, power, water and whether a kitchen is available. Venues without a kitchen need a mobile concept, which affects effort and price. Put this info straight into your request.

Plan setup & teardown

Clarify setup time, venue access and when teardown has to happen. Evening events need a late teardown – make sure the time slot and return transport are covered in the offer.
