How To Choose Your Dinner Party Catering Menu

  • Start With Your Party Vision

While there are tons of different options to choose from when planning a dinner party, the most important is to decide the style of party you want to throw. Is this an in-formal gathering, or are you planning an extensive banquet? Choosing the vision for your party will help determine what type of food you want to serve.

  • Consider Your Budget

The next important task is to decide your budget. You’ll want to determine how much you’re able to spend on catering beforehand so that the perfect menu can be chosen for you. It’s very common for dinner party caterers to offer a range of prices depending on what kind of event or dinner you’re throwing.

  • Decide How Many Courses You Want

Are you planning a full meal for your guests or a light snack? Do you need multiple options throughout the afternoon and evening, or is this a one-time sit-down affair? Do you prefer various courses? Your menu could include appetizers, entrees, soup, bread, salads, desserts, beverages, and more.

Thankfully, you don’t need to have everything figured out before contacting our dinner party chefs. Instead, you can develop a general idea, and our chefs will work with you to help create the perfect menu for your upcoming gathering. If you’re unsure where to start, you can choose one of our specially designed menus from our dinner party chefs.

  • Choose Your Dinner Party Chef

Next, you’ll want to start chatting with the chefs you’re considering hiring for your event. What are their availability and expertise? Are they someone with a lot of experience in the industry, or do they have more general culinary skills that can be applied to your event?

Check out their portfolio and the type of food they specialize in before contacting them for your event. Ensure the chef you choose feels comfortable working on your menu and will provide the food experience you’re hoping for. Once both parties agree, you’ll be able to move forward in the booking process.

What Can I Expect from My Dinner Party Catering Chef On The Day?

On the day of your dinner party, you can expect your dinner party chefs to arrive with everything you need for a seamless event. They’ll bring all their supplies, including ingredients and equipment, so that nothing is out of place or missing during the service.

Some chefs may offer some extra services like pre-plating food items for buffet-style events, offer wine tasting, or bringing in additional staff to help serve guests if needed. These are optional add ons but worth looking into!

The dinner party chef will be there as much as you’d like them to be, whether it’s simply overseeing how things progress behind the scenes or being very hands-on from start to finish depending upon what kind of experience you’re after.

Amanda Lennon
We engaged Amanda's services for my mother in law's 80th birthday dinner. Everything was just perfect. Amanda's "modern Australian menu" was delicious (and happily tweaked for dietary requirements). Everything ran so smoothly and Amanda is so lovely. My mother in law had a wonderful evening. Highly recommend!

Chef Bledi was absolutely fantastic! He has a warm, friendly personality which compliments his absolutely delicious food. Chef Bledi was more than comfortable in dealing with dietary requirements. With his own gluten free experience Chef Bledi created dishes which you almost would not believe they were gluten free! Made the surprise 70th extra special and 100% would and have recommended him to others.

Francesco & Christina provided an excellent experience. The food & service were amazing. They executed the meal quietly & professionally. At the end of the meal everything they used was washed & packed away & the kitchen was spotlessly clean. It was such a pleasure to have them in our home.
