We’ve established ourselves as the go-to, premium choice for discerning hosts who want nothing but the best for their guests.
Understanding your event requirements
The event type and purpose
Before creating a menu, here are a few questions to ask yourself:
- Is it a formal sit-down dinner or a casual cocktail party?
- Are you celebrating a wedding, a milestone celebration, or a corporate achievement?
Each event has its unique requirements, and the menu should align with the ambience and expectations of the occasion.
The guests and their preferences
Knowing your guests is essential for crafting a menu that caters to their tastes. Consider your guests’ age, cultural backgrounds, and dietary preferences. Whether they’re meat eaters, vegetarians, or have certain dietary limitations, offering different options ensures that everyone feels catered to and included.
Collaborating with Boardwalk Catering for successful home party catering in Sydney
Initial consultation and menu planning
At Boardwalk Catering, we take a collaborative approach to menu planning. We start with an initial consultation to understand your vision, preferences, and budget. This collaborative process ensures that your menu is customised to reflect your unique style and needs.
Customising the menu to match the theme and style of your private party
The menu has got to complement the theme and style of your private party. Boardwalk Catering excels in tailoring menus to match the ambience and aesthetics you desire. Our expert chefs design dishes that impress and excite – be they fine dining experiences, trendy and innovative culinary creations, you name it.
Incorporating seasonal and locally sourced ingredients
In a heart-wrenching episode of Kitchen Nightmares, Chef Gordon Ramsey encountered a restaurant owner so desperate to sell the illusion of a fresh food haven that he resorted to deceit. Not only did he fabricate tales about his business’s commitment to sourcing local produce, but he also coerced his waitresses into spreading these false narratives. The magnitude of this deception reverberates deeply, underscoring the immense importance of serving genuine, locally sourced fare.
This whole incident got us thinking about the real deal when it comes to serving up fresh and locally sourced grub. And guess what? Premium Sydney catering companies like Boardwalk Catering are going all out, doing whatever it takes to prove their quality service with such certificates as the Gold Licence Status.
Creating a well-balanced menu
Appetisers and finger foods
Start your private party on a high note with a diverse selection of appetisers and finger foods. To accommodate a wide range of palates and diet restrictions, offer a selection of bite-sized options like our crispy chicken slider with shaved iceberg lettuce, sweet chilli aioli, and brioche. If you want to go completely local, you could opt for an Australian King prawn with smoked paprika mayonnaise and snow pea tendril.
The choices are as diverse as they come, and any HR officer, business admin, or couple would testify to the exquisite bite-sized appetisers Boardwalk Catering serves. From delicious canapés to delicate sushi rolls, our selection ensures that every guest finds what they like – perhaps even desire.
Main course options
The main course is the centrepiece of the menu of your private party. We understand the importance of diversity in protein choices. Do your guests prefer succulent grilled meats, fresh seafood, or flavourful vegetarian dishes? It doesn’t matter because Boardwalk Catering’s main course options are designed to satisfy every palate.
And not just that, including side dishes that complement the main course in taste and in style is perhaps just as significant. A well-balanced menu for your private event includes thoughtfully crafted side dishes that enhance the flavours of the main course. Do you want celeriac puree, grilled broccolini, and herb crumb with your Tasmania Salmon? Perhaps textures of beetroot and pencil leek with your Cone Bay Barramundi speak more to you. Regardless, our amazing chefs are here to help you focus on the event and take the food troubles off your shoulders.
Desserts and sweets
No menu is complete without a selection of indulgent desserts and sweets. The problem with desserts is you have to find that balance between indulgence and health-conscious choices. The Boardwalk Catering chefs present a wide range of desserts, including Deconstructed pavlova (with vanilla cream, summer fruit and macerated berries) and a Milk chocolate tart (with crème chantilly, strawberry, mint and raspberry dust).
