The gyms are packed with new faces, the water machine seems to be emptying out faster than you remember, and suddenly everyone’s bringing green shakes to work. It must be resolution season or the start of summer! At The Catered Affair, we too look forward to the new year with new goals. We continue to set high standards both as a company and as individuals so we understand when you want to focus on creating a healthier you. But when you’re coming out of the winter season, it can be hard to imagine being able to enjoy a party and eat well at the same time. Don’t fret! Our culinary teams are experts at creating indulgent cuisine as well as delicious and health-conscientious food year round. For your custom event, we are happy to work with you and build a menu that fits your needs and keep everyone happy! Here are our top tips for building the perfect menu for your next event.

So You’re Thinking about Portions
When a full three course dinner sounds like too much, we love the idea of a light and fun cocktail party paired with fun small plates and perfect passed appetizers.

Allergies and Nutrition
Chatting with your caterer about any all allergies is the best way to guarantee your party goes off without a hitch. At The Catered Affair, we already offer things like gluten free bread rolls and a plethora of vegetarian main dishes and first courses.

Station Inspiration
Go beyond sliders and french fries! Encourage your guests to dine in style with a noodle and dumpling station where they can build their own stir frys or a tapas bar with everything from cured serrano ham & melon to patatas bravas

Did Someone say Dessert?
Think outside of the cookie and cupcake box with a dessert four ways bar!  Focus on fruits and classic flavors like lemon, strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla to create mix up of your favorites.
