How to choose a catering menu for your event

Write down the number of guests, when the meal will be served and the dietary preferences you know. Separate confirmed needs from estimates. Ask about allergies or restrictions early so the catering team can say what it can accommodate.

• Breakfast, lunch or dinner timing
• Vegetarian and non-vegetarian guest preferences
• Allergies, restrictions and child-friendly needs
• Venue equipment, space and serving arrangements

Friends Catering’s supplied brochure groups dishes into tiffin, vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus and shows live-counter ideas. Tiffin examples include idli, vada, dosa, puri and pongal; vegetarian lists include rice, dal, sambar, rasam, vegetable curries, curd and sweets; non-vegetarian lists include chicken, mutton, fish and egg dishes. Check the brochure for details, then ask which options can be prepared for your event.

• Tiffin can be a discussion starting point for a morning or lighter meal.
• A vegetarian menu can be planned around rice, dal, curries and accompaniments.
• For a mixed group, ask how vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices can be served clearly.

Menu, price and availability are confirmed by the catering team. Review the full menu brochure or send an enquiry with your date, venue and guest estimate.

• Which dishes and menu combinations are available for the date?
• Can the team handle dietary restrictions or separate serving?
• What is included in the quote, and what costs extra?
• Does the venue fall within the confirmed service area?
