At Sue Franks Catering, we know how important it is that your event runs as smoothly as possible. Full details. Testimonials Ordered an afternoon tea as a treat for myself and my friend. Sue recommends one waiter per 20 guests for canape functions. Make at least 50 per cent of food — sauces for instance— the day before your event.
Polish your glasses, arrange flowers and lay the table the night before. For wines, seek advice from professionals, go to specialised wine merchants, give them the menu and ask them to help you choose the wines. They may have end of line bottles or wines they have put aside for a "special" price. For people, you will need four dozen white and two dozen red wines.
Offer two varieties of white and one or two of red. Ensure you also have non-alcoholic drinks. The Great Catering Company makes its own lemonade and grapefruit-ade. If someone needs to put a skewer or spoon into their mouth, it's a no-no if the dirty utensils are put back on the platter holding food. There should be someone following the waiter to collect the dirty things.
It's good to offer something more substantial at the end of the night. Serve big bowlfuls of creamy mashed potato with a selection of toppings.
Put out little bowls for guests to fill themselves. Offer toppings even one or two such as braised lamb, grated cheese and onion, crispy bacon, smoked fish ragout. Made ahead, the potato can be reheated in a microwave it will catch if you reheat it in a pot on the stove. Or try tiny dishes of macaroni and cheese.
Make it more casual than a sit down dinner: offer polenta and braised meats on a grazing table so guests can help themselves. Serve a big bowlful of rice and offer three curries : one Thai, one Indian and one Vietnamese. Broth bowls are popular now. Put out toppings for guests to help themselves — pork, crispy shallots, fresh lime wedges, fresh herbs. Chop and layer salads into jars with forks to serve. Consider guests who are paleo, vegetarian or gluten-free. Try roast duck from a Chinese marke t, shredded with julienned vegetables, sweet chilli sauce and sour cream in baby cos lettuce.

Sue served this to friends on the day Bite visited. Heat oven to C. Steam pickling onions for 5 minutes.
