Finger Food Catering
The premise of finger food seems to have quite a polar effect on the majority of people – some people love it whilst others seem to hate it. It seems that most people have quite a fondness for finger food, loving the simplicity and ease of it, while loving the actual taste of it which is highly important.
Finger food is often met by people on various occasions of their life. Weddings are a popular occurrence of finger food, cropping up on the majority of weddings – probably all but the most high end weddings make use of finger food. Other popular instances of this form of food include funeral wakes, office parties, and birthday parties.
The one obvious advantage of finger food is its ease of preparation. Often consisting of food that can be served cold, the food is laid out in such a way that people can just reach and grab what it is that they desire, hopefully in a manner that doesn’t involve people fighting whilst trying to pick their lunch.
To think of finger food catering and you would probably instantly picture miniature sausage rolls. These have to be the most popular form of this type of food, but high up on the list would also be crisps, sandwiches, crackers, biscuits, ham and cheese pineapple sticks, and various other savoury items.
Finger food catering is ideal because it can be stored in cool conditions and served up with minimal fuss – no preparation needed, and no cooker required. So with this in mind its really unsurprising as to why finger food catering is high up their on the shopping lists of wedding preparers, and office party planners. Food can be provided in places where there are actually no cooking or food preparation facilities, even where there is no power available, so functions and events can be carried out with the least amount of effort possible.
There are many finger food catering firms that provide this service to people and businesses at very competitive prices, dealing with the ordering of the food, and then laying it out in an accessible manner, also dealing with things such as table decoration. They are also able to transport the food to given locations, and chilling it in the meantime if this is required.
Finger food catering can be just as complicated as you or your company require, and many caterers are very flexible to meet your own needs. You shouldn’t be afraid to make requests so that food can be prepared in specific manners – perhaps you need to ensure that no nuts are present as someone at your wedding has a serious nut allergy, or maybe you want there to be a vegetarian section of the finger food so as to not offend or insult any non-meat eaters.
When it comes to choosing your own finger food you should try and remember to meet the needs of your function. You wont want anything too fancy if its simply for a funeral wake, but at a wedding you may want to push the boat out a bit and impress your guests. A wide variety of food is probably the best bet of doing this, as people soon get fed up of eating just sausage rolls. Most finger food catering firms are likely to have their own menu ideas too so if you’re struggling for ideas on what food to serve up then you shouldn’t hesitate to ask the company for some advice.
For a recent body corporate meeting we hired this finger food Melbourne service that had a few different menus to choose from. Another service they provide is spit roast catering.
