Water |
|
|
|
Don’t forget water on the bar,
either buy a 5 litre cask or use a couple of jugs with fruit
to decorate, stack some plastic cups next to it for self
serve. This avoids the obvious “can I have a glass of water
please” and you needing to go into the kitchen. |

Plastics V
Glassware Hire. |
|
|
|
Plastics: costly but simple, if
you buy the short stem wine you can use it for all drinks
and as its short it doesn’t topple over either. |
|
|
|
Glassware: some companies will
require you to wash all glasses on return or they charge on
top of the hire fee, this makes clean up time longer so when
they say FREE GLASSWARE, check on the conditions. IF our
staff are serving your party then you can pay them extra
time to do the clean up if required. |

Staff Arrival
Time: |
|
|
|
We recommend our staff arrive
Thirty Minutes after your invite time, in the mean time have
a few chips and nuts for the on time arrivals, make sure you
put your oven on prior so they can cook up straight away. |

|
How Much Food? |
|
|
|
Remember a party
starting at noon, three or six P.M means your guests
will be hungrier so increase your pieces to 12 P.P/ |

Bar
Tips |
|
|
|
Serving beer, wine,
champagne may seem cheaper but if you add a bottle
of sprit (scotch) plus mixer per 40 guests you can
halve your beer purchase. |
|
|
|
Smoker Tips: |
|
|
|
Don’t forget the
smokers, you are sure to have some, leave a
designated area for them under cover with ashtrays
if your house is non smoking, and avoid butt
throwers. |
|
|
|
Cake
& Toast: |
|
|
|
Best time to do this
is at 10:00 P.M when all guests are there and not
leaving yet. A 21st function could take up to 40
minutes. If you don’t want to do it, we say DO IT,
guests love a good toast and a sweet hit is great at
that time. When choosing a cake if you choose a choc
mud you don’t need plates and forks as it cuts onto
a napkin for finger service. CUTE CAKE LINE of the
month: 40h NO!! Oh yes! |
