Veggies on the fire

For a note, a delicious sauce can do magic, just try.
You will admire that such affordable food and the ability to combine tastes can let you satisfy the preferences of everyone. A good fresh citrus lemonade or an interesting alcoholic cocktail will help you spice up your meals. Feel free to experiment.
Prosecco on wheels
Since we are talking about alcohol, it is difficult to ignore the need to remember fun parties with various light cocktails or strong drinks. To hit the target for sure, try to find out your guest’s preferences in advance, someone likes intensive alcohol taste, and someone prefers low alcohol beverages. With all this and having fun with different music styles, you can create the desired atmosphere, funky, romantic, whatever. The most common option of Prosecco van is the reliable win.
Homemade cocktail
Is a great idea to captivate your friends at the event and attract them to interact with the support of a professional who will bring a cocktail masterclass in any place to pamper guests with elegant flavours. It won’t require you to search for complicated ingredients. Add tastes easily with all available fruit juices, spices, coffee, syrups, herbs (which can grow in your garden), or citric zest. Even guests who don’t drink will be pleased with such diversity.
Hot meat
Reading the selection, you have probably already remembered the lord of all outdoor parties, the BBQ. You can create the flavour, its richness, and nuances with garlic powder, onions, coriander, and other spices and sauces. Juicy and delicious meat is easy to prepare and will quickly satisfy hunger. You’ll be surprised how mixing, for example, two common sauces can create a completely new taste. Emphasising regional barbecue specialties and letting guests find a favourite is definitely a successful format for the evening. The grill grate will gladden not only meat but also fish, some fruit (try peaches), and even grilled bread became more savoury.
Tiny sandwiches
Canapés, a tradition proved over the years is the key to success. You can choose combinations according to your preference and budget. The well-known ham with pickles or exquisite prosciutto with melon and buckwheat baguette. A good and universal solution for children and adults helps be equal in choice of snacks. For more intricate combinations, professional chefs will be glad to make your canapés shine in the spotlight. Moist ciabatta with gorgonzola and honey or whole grain bread with cream cheese as a healthier, but no less tasty option, can also be complemented with red or white vine, or by so beloved apple cider. With some bright flavours from sun-dried tomatoes and salted spicy olives diluted with fresh high-quality vegetables and fruits, you can hit the jackpot on your canapé table.
Cheese, tomatoes, crispy crust
Yes, you’re right, we are talking about pizza. The ability to compose a huge assortment of ingredients on a thin crispy or soft thick pizza crust makes this dish easy to please everyone. You can use different types of flour, and sauces, bake meaty, or vegan pizza. Traditional pepperoni with juicy sausages or margarita, cheese crust, or fresh arugula and basil on top. A wide field to free the fantasy or use a ready recipe, which is lots of online and in cookbooks. It remains only to make a choice.
Two buns and a cutlet
It’s too simple, you guessed it, we’re talking about burgers. Everyone loves tasty nutritious food that is easy to eat, just take it in your hands and bite. You can serve ready burgers, or compose a list of ingredients that go well together and allow guests to construct their combination. Sweet ketchup or spicy mayonnaise, with or without onions. This can be an opportunity to satisfy your guest’s taste buds and have fun at the same time.
Sweets
And sweets for the desserts in our selection. A beautiful candy bar will easily do up any garden party, complementing dishes with thoughtful decor can create a really sweet atmosphere. Perfect idea for ladies’ evening. The benefit of this solution is also that you can build a menu from ready-made dishes and don’t waste time cooking. Bet on diversity, cupcakes with various fillings and toppings, cream, chocolate or fruit cakes, and many varieties of candy. For more light options fruits will easily compete with traditional sweets. So many sweets that we didn’t mention, depending on your preferences, you can create a gorgeous menu.
Organising a good event is easier than you can imagine if you have chosen the format of the event, understand the taste preferences of your guests, and decided on a budget you have.
