From time to time, you may be in charge of planning an event that is too large for you to handle preparing all the food yourself. In these cases, you will need to call a caterer for help. There are several different catering options, including buffet catering. There are many advantages to choosing this type of catering over silver catering.

First of all, buffet catering is cheaper. This is a great option if you are on a budget. You can get all the food you need to feed your guests spending less money. You can put on a rather luxurious variety by choosing less expensive dishes. Your caterer can help you determine which dishes would be the best for getting the right amount of food without breaking your budget.

The buffet catering also offers your guests more options. With silver catering they can only choose the main dish, and they can only have one of them. When you have a buffet, you can choose to have a small amount of each dish, or have a little more from a smaller number of dishes. There is less waste involved as they only take the things they like in the amount they like. You don’t have to worry about your guests getting stuck with garnishes they don’t like and will end up going to waste in the end.

When you have a buffet, you also free up your guests to move around a bit more and socialize. They don’t have to sit as long as the servers need to run all the different fields. They can even eat standing up while chatting with friends if they wish.

With a buffet it is also more likely that none of your guests will end up hungry. Not only will they have more options, but they will also be able to return for more food until they’ve eaten their fill. You can make sure to include at least a plate or two that will suit people with different dietary restrictions so that everyone has something to eat. This is easier to do if you ask about these types of restrictions in advance.

As you can see, there are several reasons why you might want to go with a buffet.
