Event Menus
Built Around Your Evening
Plated, buffet, family style, or stations. The menu follows the running order rather than the other way round, and dietary requirements go in when it is written rather than getting patched on the day.

The PREVA events team has your details and will follow up with a menu and a quote.
Service Styles
Pick the Style, Then the Dishes
How the food reaches the table changes what belongs on the menu. A dish that shines plated can sit badly on a buffet, so the style is usually settled first.
Plated
Courses served to the table
- Everyone served at the same moment
- Paced around speeches and the program
- Dietary plates identified and delivered correctly
- Suits a seated evening with a running order
Buffet & Family Style
People help themselves
- A line to work through, or platters on the table
- Guests eat at their own pace and go back
- Dietary options labelled and set apart
- Scales comfortably as the count grows
- Suits family gatherings and long afternoons
Stations & Passed
Standing, moving, grazing
- Food that works with a drink in the other hand
- Stations placed to keep the room circulating
- Works before a sit-down or instead of one
- Suits receptions and cocktail hours
How a Menu Gets Built
Four Things Decide What Goes On It
Menus here are written per event rather than picked off a list, which is why the events team asks for these four before quoting anything.
The Running Order
Speeches, a first dance, an auction, a presentation — service is built around them, so the menu has to suit being paused and picked back up.
The Guest Count
A dish that works for forty can fall apart at three hundred. The number changes the menu more than most people expect.
The Dietary Counts
Vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, and allergies go in when the menu is written. Given late, they become substitutions; given early, they are just part of the menu.
What Matters to You
A family dish, a cuisine, one course that has to be right. Say so early. If it cannot be done well at your numbers the events team will tell you rather than agree and disappoint.
On the Plate
How It Reaches the Table
Plated Service
Courses out together and paced to the program, so the room is not eating through the toast.
Buffet & Family Style
A line people work through at their own pace, or platters set down for the table to pass around.
Stations & Passed
Smaller things people can eat standing, placed so the room keeps moving rather than settling into one corner.
