When your catering is a corker, it’s guaranteed to bring the smiles to even the most uninspiring of occasions. And at Thomas The Caterer our aim is always to go MANY steps further by bringing a big dose of the WOW factor to everything that we do!
But (can you believe we’re saying it) it’s not all about the pizazz… as a trusted and professional catering company, we offer completely bespoke catering for every type of event in Leicestershire – and that’s done by taking plenty of time to get to know you and exactly what it is you want from your occasion.
We’re talking fresh, high-quality ingredients, seasonal menus and properly planned, creative presentations that make every event stand out from the crowd. From weddings and parties of all shapes and sizes, to corporate events and more low-key occasions we will make every effort to ensure your Leicestershire catering is a big part of what makes your event a success.
Some of our most popular services are the sumptuous grazing tables which we create and Mobile Bar Hire to complement the catering that’s on offer – especially in locations where bar service isn’t such an easy thing to come by (such as the middle of a field)!
In this blog, we explore some of the most popular catering ideas for events of all types to give you some inspiration for your upcoming gathering.
Canapés, Finger Food & Sharing Boards – Small Bites, Big Impressions
Delicious canapés and sharing boards are perfect for informal gatherings, cocktail parties, or chilled out Wedding Receptions. These delicious offerings provide flexibility, variety, and a social experience which means that people can mingle, network and have fun together while they enjoy the awesome food that’s on offer.
The secret to making this food offering stand out from your stereotypical buffet is to get creative with flavour and variety, with visually appealing presentation and seasonal ingredients that guarantee pleasure with every bite.
Street Food Catering – Bringing Atmosphere and Flavour to Events
Love the thought of bringing an element of fun to your special occasion? Perhaps you like the idea of doing something a bit different? Street-food style catering brings excitement to events with freshly prepared food which offers a delight to all the senses, while enabling informal socialising, a special themed presentation, and it can be suitable for indoor or outdoor events, too.
Banging street food will always guarantee a memorable and playful element at weddings, parties, or corporate gatherings and it is a great way to ensure your catering is remembered for all the right reasons.
Sit-Down Meals & Formal Catering – Bespoke Menus for Every Occasion
For a more traditional or formal approach, certainly for weddings and corporate dinners, sit down meals of several courses are a popular option. To make things memorable, think tailored menus which allow you to explore something different with your catering and a professional standard of table service on the day.
In addition, make sure to give consideration to dietary needs and portion control, as well as a greater degree of elegance in your presentation.
