So, how much food do you need for your party?
If you are planning to hire a
BBQ catering service to help you organize a birthday party, company picnic or any other event, then you are probably wondering about the amount of food to order. To make the correct order, first you will need to know exactly how many guests will be attending the barbecue. One good way to calculate how much food you need, so that nobody leaves there hungry is to order one and a half pounds of food for each person, as this is more than enough in the vast majority of circumstances. Then, simply divide that amount to the various dishes that you plan on serving.
It is important to note that you need to consider the items on the menus that the guests are very likely to eat and enjoy and order more of those. For instance, in general people prefer the main dishes over the side dishes. The amount of food needed for the barbecue party is also influenced by the time of the event and of the year. Typically, people tend to eat less during hot days and during early lunch and brunch. On the other hand, if you are holding the party near dinner time in a chilly day, then they will eat more.
