EASY TIPS FOR HOSTING A BUFFET
DINNER
·
A buffet is the easiest way to serve a meal to a
crowd.
·
Make your buffet attractive by draping lovely linens over risers of various heights set on the table, so that
the food is dramatically presented at different levels.
·
Also, make sure that the food is replenished often so that it remains fresh and
attractive.
·
Set up the buffet on a
freestanding, long table so that two lines of guests can be serving themselves
at once.
·
Alternatively, a round table could be arranged
with starters, and subsequent courses set out in a clockwise pattern, will work
well for smaller groups.
·
Plates should be set at the beginning of the
line but accessories like cutlery and napkins should be the last items on
the table.
·
Glasses for wine and other beverages should be
placed either on the serving tables, or passed around filled with drinks once
people are seated and eating.
