Building an Elegant Menu for a Dinner Party | Caiger & Co.

Paul Roku Agency • Jan 08, 2024

Creating an impressive and elegant menu to cook for a dinner party is both an art and a science.

It's the perfect blend of choosing dishes that tantalise the taste buds - while considering dietary preferences and restrictions, of course. It's about creating an unforgettable gastronomic journey that leaves your guests utterly satiated, yet craving for more.

At Caiger & Co., we've created this blog post to be your guide, your personal chef if you will, to crafting that perfect menu for an unforgettable dinner party.

Including our favourite dinner party ideas and recipes, from dinner party mains to desserts and every flavour packed in between, we've got you covered.

So grab your apron. It's time to cook and create culinary magic.

What to consider when planning your dinner party menu

When planning your dinner party menu, there are several key factors you should consider.

Importantly, it’s essential to know the dietary preferences and restrictions of your guests, considering gluten free, lactose free, and vegan meals. Then, remember to always balance your menu. Variety is the spice of life, so make sure to include a range of flavours, textures, spices and colours to impress and keep everyone intrigued course after course.

Your menu should reflect the occasion and theme of your dinner party, creating a harmonious and entertaining dining experience from start to finish each night.

Below, we'll delve deeper into each of these factors.

Theme

The theme of the dinner party is a critical element that sets the tone for the evening, and your menu should reflect this ambience.

Whether it's an elegant formal gathering or a celebration of a specific culture or holiday, your menu should echo this context. For example, a black-tie event may call for refined meals like oysters, caviar, or a beautiful rack of lamb, but a relaxed occasion with friends and family could include grazing boards as a less formal option.

Aligning your menu with your theme creates an entertaining and immersive dining experience that leaves a lasting impression on your guests.

Event venue

The venue of your dinner party plays a vital role in shaping the flavour of the menu. An intimate at-home gathering allows for more personalised and elaborate dishes, while a larger venue may call for a menu that can be prepared efficiently and served seamlessly to a crowd.

Furthermore, outdoor settings might inspire an al fresco dining menu, while an indoor venue may lean towards a gourmet or fine dining menu. The kitchen facilities available at the location will also influence what you can cook.

Hence, the choice of venue should be factored in when selecting meals to ensure that the culinary experience complements the atmosphere perfectly.

Season

The season of your dinner party is paramount to consider in your recipe and menu planning. Seasonal ingredients and spices are not only fresher and more flavourful, but they also add an element of authenticity and relevance to your favourite dinner party recipes.

Summer might call for cooking a menu filled with fresh salads, cooked or barbecued items, and fruity desserts, while winter could inspire hearty soups, roasted meats, bread and warm, spiced desserts.

Integrating seasonal elements into your menu allows you to tap into what's naturally available, ensuring optimal quality, supporting local farmers, and reducing the carbon footprint of your event.

Dietary restrictions

Respecting dietary restrictions is essential when planning your dinner party menu. It ensures every guest feels considered and can partake in the culinary journey you've curated.

This involves understanding and catering to common dietary restrictions such as vegetarianism, veganism, allergies, and gluten free or lactose intolerant attendees.

Reach out to your guests in advance to inquire about their dietary needs. Plan ahead to cook a variety of dishes in your menu that everyone can enjoy, offering substitutes where necessary.

A vegetarian or vegan dinner party is also a great way to educate friends and family by cooking and hosting sustainably.

Considering dietary restrictions makes your dinner party inclusive, and everyone will appreciate your thoughtful planning, serving and hosting.

Variation

Variety and balance present in a menu enhance the dining experience, making your dinner party a culinary exploration for your guests. They bring intrigue to every dish cooked and ensure there's something to satisfy every palate.

Each course or dish should differ from the last in terms of texture, flavour, and colour, while still flowing seamlessly into the next dish.

Consider pairing a starter dish of a crisp, light salad with a rich, hearty main dish, followed by serving a sweet, delicate pudding. Furthermore, consider offering a variety of proteins, like seafood, poultry, and vegetarian options to cater to different preferences.

This balance of flavours will serve to create an entertaining and engaging rhythm to your delicious dinner party menu, keeping your guests excited and anticipating the next course.

Starters for a dinner party

A delicious dinner party main course is the star of the show, capturing the most attention and leaving a lasting impression on the guests.

Choose something that aligns with your theme and caters to the majority of your guests' dietary preferences.

Dinner party mains can range from classic servings to innovative creations, but ensure each dish is executable, full of flavour, and delicious.

Here are our suggestions for your next favourite dinner party main:

Beef Wellington: An impressive, classic dish that pairs a tender fillet of beef cooked with rich mushroom duxelles, all wrapped up in a crispy puff pastry.
Coq au Vin: This French classic is a comforting blend of chicken, red wine, and vegetables.
Seared Scallops with Lemon Butter Sauce: A luxurious seafood dish that's deceptively simple to make.
Vegetable Lasagna: A hearty, flavourful vegetarian dish packed with organic flavours that can easily be made vegan-friendly.
Pork Tenderloin with Apple Cider Reduction: A savoury and sweet dish that’s perfect for autumn gatherings.

Desserts for a dinner party

Desserts are the grand finale of the night at any impressive dinner party, providing the table with a sweet and delicious closure to complete the evening.

They should be decadent and delicious yet balanced, satisfying the sweet tooth without being overly heavy.

Here are some delightful desserts to serve:

Crème Brûlée: Gluten free, with a creamy custard base, topped with a contrasting layer of hard caramel.
Tiramisu: This Italian classic, combining espresso-soaked ladyfingers and delicate mascarpone cream, is always a hit.
Vanilla Panna Cotta with Berry Compote: A silky, creamy dessert with a tangy berry contrast.
Apple Galette: A rustic, open-faced apple tart, perfect for autumn gatherings and a vegan dinner party.
Cheese Plate: For those preferring a less sugary end to their meal, assemble a selection of gourmet cheeses with fresh fruit and crackers offers a sophisticated alternative.

Drinks for a dinner party

The right beverages can complement your menu and enhance the overall dining experience at your dinner party. From welcome drinks to delicious after-dinner beverages, it's essential to offer a complete, thought-out selection that pairs well with the meal and caters to various preferences.

Consider serving a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks - and don't forget about water.

Here are some of the most elegant drink ideas to consider:

Prosecco: A classic sparkling wine to start the evening off on a high note.
Sangria: A fruity and versatile cocktail that can be tailored to match the season.
Coffee and Tea: Serve quality coffee and a variety of teas for after dinner.
Wines or Ports: These pair well with sweet desserts and provide a delightful end to the meal.
Infused Water: A jug of water infused with fruits or herbs is not only refreshing but also visually appealing.

We love mornings like this🥂 What a better way to spend this mid week morning than with breakfast by @caigerandco and champagne with @charliewethered We had the opportunity to taste champagne by @mrbillecart & @champagne_billecart_salmon. This family run champagne house was founded in 1818. Its current tasting team consists of eight members led by the wisest, a 100 year old who swears by having a glass a day! Each year, 200 hand pickers harvest grapes over 300 hectares of land to be expertly crafted and stored to produce upwards of two million bottles. A bottle of Billecart-Salmon can be found in nearly every three and two Michelin Star restaurant. We paired this delectable champagne with an incredible breakfast consisting of a lovely truffle-butter toast topped with creamy scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, and caviar. We look forward to working with Billecart-Salmon as our newest addition to our supplier list✨

Caiger & Co ✖️ 34 Bloomsbury For enquiries including Caiger & Co catering at your @34bloomsbury experience, contact their team ~ hello@34bloomsbury.com ✨ Hear from the lovely @sofia.isidro | Sales & Venue Manager ⤵️ 🔹What makes 34 Bloomsbury so unique? We love that 34 Bloomsbury is a blank canvas space that clients can truly call their own. Every event we’ve hosted so far has been completely bespoke to the brand and guest experience, with our versatile spaces including period features, natural daylight and sleek furniture & décor making the perfect backdrop. Plus, have we mentioned our amazing team? 🔹The three most popular types of events you host at your venue? Press days, product launches and parties & celebrations! 🔹Favourite feature within your venue? Hard to choose just one… we really love all the glorious natural daylight and the unique period details such as the original fireplaces; but the courtyard garden (coming this spring) might steal the spotlight soon. 🔹Based on your client requests, what is an event trend you predict for 2024? We are seeing an emphasis on a 360-degree event experience, with guest interaction and involvement playing an essential role in the event itself. It’s all about involving the senses and curating a unique guest journey from the moment they set foot inside. 🔹The style of food service that is most requested right now? Clients love a grazing table for breakfast & evening events, complimented with canape service throughout the day. We are seeing a big focus on healthier food options and fun cocktails have been popular for evening-dos, as opposite to the traditional wine reception. 🔹Why do you think Caiger & Co x 34 Bloomsbury are the perfect match? As a venue, it’s really important for us that we strike relationships with partners that share similar values to our own. We love that Caiger & Co is also a female founded company, with a dedicated team that ensures every detail is given attention, from planning to creating a sustainable menu, until the delivery of the event. Being able to recommend a supplier that we trust and is key for us and the Caiger & Co team often feels like an extension of our own.

In our rhubarb era ✨ 🔺Delivered this week from our supplier @natoora! The arrival of @rhubarbrobert’s red boxes (they have hit cult status in the industry). Inside, the first batch of forced rhubarb stems of the season from Yorkshire’s Rhubarb Triangle.⁠ ⁠ 📍One of our sustainability pillars is to support local & independent growers. The provenance of our ingredients is very important to us and we will be making the most of this supply from now until the end of the season (April)! ❣️Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb is an out of season rhubarb that is first grown outside for a period of two years, after initial exposure to the frost, the rhubarb is lifted from the ground and placed into forcing sheds. 🕯️ Once in the darkened sheds, the Rhubarb is harvested by candle light to maintain the tenderness of the shoots & heat is applied causing the rhubarb to grow quickly in search of light. Produce >>>plate. How our chef team are showcasing this ingredient in our menus: ~ Seared mackerel canapés with pickled rhubarb on seaweed crackers ~ Burnt Basque cheesecake, poached rhubarb with blood orange & ricotta ice cream, finished with dehydrated rhubarb petals. 📸 @rhubarbrobert @natoora #caigerandco #londoncatering #londoncaterer #natoora #forcedrhubarb #londonevents #londoneventplanner

Summer wedding tasting for C+C ☀️ January is a big month for wedding tastings at Caiger & Co. We absolutely love hosting couples in our Battersea tasting room, an integral part of the planning journey where we present the menu to the client & gather feedback✨ The creative brief from this tasting was to tell a story through the menu, celebrating Australian meets British culture with ingredients sourced as locally as possible. Our menu proposal included a nod to the traditional Australian summer BBQ, with an outdoor Asado where the focal ingredient will be venison sourced from a local farm. Cooked over a fire pit imparting a smokey depth of flavour to the meat & a selection of seasonal vegetables. The Mains: ~ Marinated asado venison, french beans, dauphinoise potatoes with confit garlic & port jus ~ BBQ whisky venison with textures of carrot, wild herb pesto, onion ash and toasted grain seeds To Finish: ~ 🇬🇧 Chocolate delice with salted peanut brittle & creme fraiche ~ 🇦🇺 Pavlova, vanilla ice cream, white & dark chocolate shards, salted caramel sauce The late night eats for guests will be an Aussie sausage sizzle (iykyk). From proposal to plate, it is a joy to spin a narrative through our food. Watch this space as we have lots more tastings to share with you all.

Event & catering trends we predict for 2024✨Based on our event briefs, moodboards & menu proposals so far for this year. Peachy keen: 🍑 The Pantone colour of the year is Peach Fuzz. A velvety gentle peach tone that radiates warmth & modern elegance. This is cropping up in a few of our styling briefs, offset with creams or contrasting with pastel blue. Mocktail menus: The non-alcoholic drink, not just an after-thought on the bar menu! Creative & thoughtful mocktail & non-alcoholic drink menus. Exploring the many possibilities for non-alcohol options such as @nuisancedrinks @trip.drinks @punchydrinks Smoked: Elevating a menu with a subtle smoked theme. Creatively adding a touch of smokey flavour in unexpected ways - expect to see more in our menus this year! ~ Polenta chips, smoked coconut yoghurt & togarashi ~ Charcoal cups, edamame, goats curd & smoked chilli oil Intimate dinner parties: A shift from maxi to micro events - small gatherings with curated guest lists and an elevated menu experience. Such as a guest list of 20, for a 6-course tasting menu. Root to stem approach: Our clients are becoming more aware of the provenance of the ingredients in their food & mindful of the impact of events & waste. We approach all events from a circular kitchen system, including creating zero waste menus & cleverly up-cycling surplus ingredients. Potted herbs: Event styling that incorporates herbs; mint, rosemary & basil. For guests to add as garnish to cocktails, drinks & dishes as they please. Late night eats: A large demand for our signature & decadent late night eats. Think, truffle oil mac & cheese, Caiger fried chicken mini burgers (CFC) & goats cheese grilled sandwiches. Supporting artisan growers: We are constantly evolving our supplier network & connecting with local & artisan growers to build our menus around celebrating specialised ingredients. It’s already shaping up to be a big year for our team & we can’t wait to show you the menus & events we have in motion! #caigerandco #londoncatering #londoncaterer #londonevents #eventtrends #londoneventplanner #londonvenues #londonwedding #londonweddingvendors

At the heart of our menu ethos at Caiger & Co is local and seasonal sourcing. Our bespoke menus are always a celebration of the produce in season, and we source our food from the best local suppliers who value sustainability and quality as much as we do. Our supplier @thereal_cure is a perfect example of this. They use traditional artisan processes of curing, fermenting, air drying & smoking techniques to make exceptional British charcuterie (salami, chorizo & hams). Based at Hartgrove Farm in Dorset, The Real Cure are pioneers of the British charcuterie movement. They process their entire range in small batches, using the finest high welfare meat sourced from across the Dorset countryside; wild deer, grass fed beef, and free range pork.

We’ve been busy these last few weeks finalising wedding quotes, hosting final tastings and getting dates in the diary. It has us looking forward to the season and thinking about some of the amazing weddings we’ve been a part of in the past. One that stands out is a wedding we catered in Springhead Trust in Dorset for the lovely couple A & T. They wanted to make the most out of the events beautiful grounds and have a unique food station for the guests to enjoy after the ceremony. They ended up opting for an oyster bar with the oysters being chucked to order. It created a wonderfully interactive and theatrical experience for the guests that paired perfectly with a flute of cold champagne on a sunny day. #catering #weddingseason #weddings #events #instafood #foodie #food #cooking

It's finally spring, and you know what that means... It's Asado season!

It is one of our favourite forms of cooking it truly is a social experience where people gather around the fire with the grill master holding court. ¡Provecho! #spring #asado #bbq #event #catering #behindthescenes #foodie #food #foodstagram

Oysters always seem to come with advice, we’re sure you’ve heard the age old saying: only eat oysters in months with an 'R' (September – April). We don’t know about you, but we’re making the most of whats left of the season and getting our count in now with these baked oysters with parsley pesto and charred brioche toast.🦪🦪 #catering #tasty #instafood #foodie #food #cooking #dishoftheday #foodphotography
