09. 10. 2023 Birthday banquet - a rich treat for the celebration for all guests

Birthdays are not only a reminder of another year of your life, but also an opportunity to get together with friends and family and celebrate this special occasion with them. And what can make a birthday party even more memorable? A great caterer who will take care of everything so that you can enjoy the party to the fullest and prepare dishes that will delight the taste buds of all the guests. We at Chateau Catering will be happy to help you put together a birthday buffet to suit your tastes so that everyone can enjoy themselves.

Birthday buffet

For birthday parties, the buffet is one of the most popular forms of food service, providing a wide variety of dishes that will please even the pickiest of guests. It is a form of food service where everyone gets exactly what they want from the buffet and in the quantities they want.

Nowadays, you can also find so-called food stations at banquets, which are similar to the ones we know from festivals, for example. At each of the stands there is at least one chef who will prepare the dish of your choice. We at Chateau Catering offer both the classic form of a banquet and these modern food stations.

Advantages and disadvantages of a buffet

The advantage of a buffet is the great variety of dishes, where everyone can choose exactly what they fancy. Thanks to the wide variety of dishes, even vegetarians or vegans or people with various intolerances can eat. Moreover, most of the time, these are dishes that can be comfortably corralled and enjoyed with other guests. Another plus point is that you don't need much staff to serve you. Just a few people are enough to take care of replenishing dishes, cutlery and plates, as well as taking away the already used dishes.

The downside is that not all types of food will go out to all the guests of the party. The best delicacies will of course be the first to disappear. This is because there is a first-come, first-served rule... If you know that your guests really like a certain type of food, it is possible to prepare it in larger quantities, but even so, it may happen that at some point the supplies run out. This can be avoided by having a banquet that has a given menu and the individual courses are prepared according to the exact number of guests.

Types of banquets and suitable banquet dishes

We can prepare several types of buffets, depending on your wishes. We can provide a hot buffet as well as a buffet with cold and hot dishes. We also think about vegetarians, so we can prepare a purely vegetarian buffet for you or add meatless options to the meat dishes. The buffets we prepare at Chateau Catering also vary in the amount of food. To show you what we can prepare for you, we have listed two of our usual buffet options, which can be varied according to your wishes.

Smaller birthday buffet

The smaller buffet offers around 500 g of food per person. The menu is less varied in this case, but you will still find dishes that you and your guests will enjoy.

We can prepare, for example, a roast beef sandwich in bread with horseradish mayonnaise and cucumber, variations of fried chicken and pork mini steaks, chicken steak with herbs and pepper sauce, Chopped salad and a board with Italian cold cuts and cheeses. Of course, there are banquet pastries with poppy seeds and sesame seeds, multigrain pastries or our homemade castle bread.

Bigger birthday buffet

The larger buffet offers approximately 750 g of food for one person. At the same time, compared to the smaller buffet, you can choose from a greater variety of dishes. So there is sure to be something for every guest.

You can choose from 9 different finger foods - beef tenderloin carpaccio, roast beef with horseradish mayonnaise, smoked salmon, duck liver pate, pollo tonnato or chicken with tuna mayonnaise, marinated prawn, caesar salad, plucked duck and roast pork flank.

The larger buffet can also include two types of mini burgers - one with jerked meat, cheddar sauce and pickles, the other with duck breast, pak choi salad, ponzu sauce and fried onions. This buffet also offers a variation of fried chicken and pork mini schnitzels and upscale Italian cheeses and traditional Italian charcuterie. We also offer English roast beef or beef tartare. The larger buffet also includes 3 hot dishes - beef neck, roasted supreme and herb roasted salmon and again, our homemade chateau bread.
