Top Catering Tips for Small Parties

Hello, party planners! If you're looking to throw a little shindig and want your guests talking about the grub for weeks to come, then you're in the right spot. At Cape Cod Chef On Call, we believe that what really makes or breaks an event is found in the details—the menu, of course, being the most important one. Here are some of our top tips to make your next small party one for the books!


Plan Your Guest List

First of all, know your audience. Make a list of the guests that will be attending and notate any dietary restrictions or preferences. It will help you tailor the menu to accommodate all and avoid any culinary faux pas. More than that, though, it will let them know you actually care about the comfort and enjoyment of your guests.


Keep It Simple, Yet Varied

When it comes to the menu, it's all about variety without falling trap to over-complication—stick with a selected handful of dishes that will appeal to many tastes, yet remain somewhat clean-cut in your head. Think to please crowds with mini sliders or colorful salads, or a mix of savory and sweet finger food. Simplicity will guarantee you be able to keep the quality in order and focus on presentation.


Venue Matters

Your party's setting can really heighten the experience for the whole event. Be it a backyard that feels nice, a slim and quite stylishly kept living room, or any quaint local venue, pick one that suits your vibe most. Make sure there will be enough space to move around for your visitors to mingle and sample your food in comfort.


Delightful Desserts

Never underestimate the power of a good dessert! End the meal on a high note with delicious sweet delicacies that are as much a feast for the eyes as for the taste buds. Mini cheesecakes, brownie bites, or the classic fruit platter could do the trick.


Presentation is Everything

We eat with our eyes first, so be sure your food looks as amazing as it tastes. Create the aesthetic appeal with garnishes, attractive serving dishes, and layout. A prettily set table can make even the simplest dishes feel special.


Go Local

Choosing local catering services not only supports the community but also brings fresh, local flavors to your table. At Cape Cod Chef On Call, we pride ourselves on using locally-sourced ingredients to create unforgettable culinary experiences. Your guests will appreciate the authentic taste of Cape Cod in every bite.


Ready to make your small party a smashing success? Let us help you create an event that your guests will remember for all the right reasons.
