Party Food Should Cater to Different Dietary Needs
When planning party food, remember that your guests may have various dietary restrictions and preferences. Offering a menu that caters to everyone ensures that all guests feel included, which is super important.
Offer a Variety of Options: Include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-friendly dishes. Options like grilled vegetables, salads, and plant-based proteins are perfect alongside traditional meat dishes. Otherwise, collect a list of all the attendees and their dietary preferences so you can plan for the exact requirements. Our multi-brand catering is perfect because you can provide a variety to your guests: choose a range of salad bowls, egg sliders, and pitas so everyone is happy and satisfied. We have catering options perfect for any occasion: breakfast, morning-tea, lunch, afternoon-tea and dinner sorted!
Label Food Clearly: Make it easy for guests to identify what's safe for their diet by using clear labels to indicate gluten-free, dairy-free, or allergen-friendly items.
Flexible Menus: Work with your caterer to create a menu that accommodates last-minute dietary changes or guest preferences.
Make Your Party Food Customisable
Customisable catering is becoming increasingly popular, especially for events with diverse groups of people. Allowing guests to tailor their meals ensures everyone enjoys their food while accommodating dietary needs.
Set up build-your-own stations with different food options. That way, your guests can choose what they want, whether it’s a chicken pita or a beef pita—we would want both!
Healthy and Fresh Party Food is the Way
Gone are the days of bland, beige, and unhealthy catering. With the rise of health-conscious eating, offering fresh and nutritious food options is essential for any event. The Pita Pit, BOWL’D, and EGG’D catering menu provides a diverse range of fresh, healthy food choices.
Pita Pit's ingredients include whole grains, lean proteins, and plenty of vegetables, ensuring guests enjoy healthy, filling meals. At Pita Pit, we believe in balance, so we offer delicious, sweet treats to complete the perfect catered meal.
Must-Have Party Food for Different Functions
Different types of events call for different catering strategies. Here are some suggestions for must-have party food depending on the occasion:
Office Catering : Food that doesn't need a plate or utensils, like a pita or slider, is great for office catering and other corporate events. Otherwise, having the choices pre-plated, like a salad bowl, is perfect.
Casual Gatherings: Shareable platters, sliders and dips work well for informal get-togethers.
Kids parties: Pitas are perfect for the kids, giving them the energy they need to keep playing and having fun!
