At We The Chefs, we specialize in event catering and we love nothing more than coming up with creative ideas to impress our clients. Here are 5 of our favorite themed catering ideas that are sure to make your next event a hit.
- International Street Food
Bring the flavors of the world to your event with an international street food theme. This idea is perfect for a casual event such as a street fair, carnival, or outdoor festival. Offer a variety of street food favorites from around the world, such as tacos, banh mi sandwiches, falafel, and samosas. Add some international flair to your drinks menu as well, with signature cocktails from different countries.
- Southern Comfort Food
For a more down-home feel, consider a Southern comfort food theme. Think classic dishes like fried chicken, mac and cheese, biscuits and gravy, and collard greens. This menu is perfect for a family-style dinner or a backyard BBQ. Add some Southern charm to your decor with mason jars, burlap table runners, and string lights.
- Retro Cocktail Party
Take your guests back in time with a retro cocktail party theme. This idea works well for a more formal event such as a wedding reception or anniversary party. Offer classic cocktails such as martinis, old fashioneds, and daiquiris. Pair your drinks with retro-inspired hors d’oeuvres such as deviled eggs, pigs in a blanket, and shrimp cocktail.
- Brunch Buffet
Who doesn’t love brunch? A brunch buffet is the perfect theme for a daytime event such as a bridal shower, baby shower, or graduation party. Offer classic brunch items such as quiche, bagels and lox, breakfast burritos, and fruit salad. Don’t forget the mimosas and bloody marys!
- Farm-to-Table Dinner
For a more upscale event, consider a farm-to-table dinner theme. This idea works well for a corporate event or fundraising dinner. Offer a menu featuring locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Highlight the farmers and producers who supplied the food on your menu. Pair your dishes with locally crafted beer and wine.
