Planning a buffet
Planning a Buffet for a Large Event
A buffet is the easiest way to feed a big crowd well: guests choose what they love and there is something for every diet on the same table. The key is planning — enough variety across vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, the right quantities for your guest numbers, and a team who keep the buffet hot and full from the first plate to the last.
For weddings and larger functions we usually recommend four or five starters, three to five mains, rice, freshly made naan and a dessert. Live stations — a chaat counter, pav bhaji, noodles and Manchurian, or a live tandoor — add theatre and take pressure off the main buffet line.
Choose the setup that suits your event: a basic buffet with tables, cloths, chafing dishes and serving spoons, or our golden and premium setups with copper chafing dishes and service staff. Silver cutlery and ceramic plates are available on request.
