Catering Festive Parties

The festive season is one filled with cheer, but for the foodservice industry it does have its challenges. There is a massive influx in trade and we see a lot of faces old and new, it is a time when you need to impress to make sure you keep your regulars and have the best chance of transforming those one-time visitors into a part of your regular customer base and getting them to think of you when it comes to their next occasion. Getting the customers you already have, to increase their spending and frequency is the easiest way of increasing your takings.

With the festive season comes more parties and generally overall increase in custom. People want to have a good time, come in and warm up and treat themselves while they’ve been planning ways to treat others. This large influx of parties and events can become a huge drain on resources – particularly labour hours. This is where Total Foodservice can really help reduce the strain when catering events. 

Our ranges make catering for events so much easier and ease the burden of having to constantly recreate the same party menus. These items can be incorporated into a fuller menu or be served as stand-alone products for guests who don’t want a full sit-down menu.

Canapes

These are a great party option for buffets or to add as a welcome bite when guests arrive for a sit-down menu. Giving guests the best impression of you from the outset.

Buffets                       

Our buffet selection offers a whole range to cater for many dietary requirements. They are all easy to serve and create a very impressive menu when served together Items such as the Crispy Crumb Brie Wedges (67230) would be perfect as a vegetarian starter for your Christmas menus.
