Hot Served Buffets
Served Hot Buffet
Your buffet is provided with hot chafing dishes, disposed of in a line, and your guests will be served by our assistants.
​
We can provide tables for the chafing dishes. We can also provide crockery and cutlery if necessary, please give a look at our services.
We do not require a kitchen to warm up your food when you choose the hot buffet served as we will either use the chaffing to bring the food to the right temperature or transport your hot food in insulated containers to maintain a safe temperature.
At the end of your party, we will pick up our equipment. No need to worry about cleaning chaffing and trays, as we will take care of that.
What is NOT included:
-
Crockery and cutlery, as well as glasses and table wear, are not included. You can request a quote for rental service of these in our SERVICES page.
-
Drinks, such as soft drinks. (We do not supply alcohol)

How to make your buffet a success
General hints for planning your hot buffet
​Planning a perfect event is not an easy task, there are plenty of things you need to keep in mind:
​​
Hot buffets can be arranged for both standing and sitting down events.
-
Pick different flavour combinations: often guests pile a little bit of everything onto their plates, so variety is key. Moreover, not everybody will like everything, as food is very subjective, so having different flavours on your table should give a choice of food to everyone.
-
Choose different and various hot foods options, such as pastas, meats, and vegetables, with different colours and textures. This helps you meet your guests tastes and impress with an array of options that also please the eye.
-
For a hot buffet, opt to display food in a neat line of chaffing dishes. Chaffing dishes can keep food hot for a prolonged length of time and give a professional look to your event.
-
Please note chaffing dishes require a burning candle underneath to maintain the heat.​
-
​
What can we help with:
-
We can set the table for you when we deliver your food. Just let us know if you have any preferences and we will arrive ahead of schedule to set everything up for you.
-
We can provide chaffing dishes to present & serve your food items as well as ceramic trays for cold food options if you decide for a mixture of hot and cold food items. We will pick them back up after the event. Sometimes this is not possible due to distances, however we would prefer you using our trays rather than disposable plastic or aluminium ones. This is not only a more appealing show for your guests, but also a greener option as it limits the amount of plastic being thrown out.
-
We provide any additional items you might need, such as:
-
Crockery
-
Cutlery
-
Glasses
-
Tablecloths
-
Trays
-
Chaffin dishes​
-
-
We can supply assistance staff, such as:
-
assistants behind the Chaffin line​ (see the service).
-
Waiter services​​
