Catering alternatives to a sit-down dinner?

Consider offering a variety of canapés spanning from appetizers to desserts, with substantial servings intended to be enjoyed while standing. This approach provides guests with a diverse culinary experience and allows for more mingling and socializing throughout the event.

Woodfire Desire is a pizza catering service. We can cater for both sit down and non-sit down dinners. Pizza is a great option for non-sit down dinner. It is the perfect finger food!

Grazing tables are a great alternative to a sit-down dinner. This allows greater flexibility to food choices and is a more relaxed vibe for the bride and groom so everyone can enjoy y and participate in the wedding and eat when they want.

A great dessert option that adds some uniqueness and entertainment is hiring us from Icecream Curls.

This is a great option to add ontop of your cake too :)

Hi Bridie,

Thanks for asking.

There are some great suggestions below but by far Grazing Platters are my favourite because they are a decoration option as well as a way of feeding people. You don't need as many servers as you do with Canapes and trays of food. The beautiful thing about grazing tables is that they give a WOW factor when your guests first arrive. There isn't the hassle of servers walking all around and people can choose what they eat, when and how much. It saves guests being distracted from their conversations while they chase food around the venue. 

All the best planning and sing out if we can help. 

Finger food,

Cocktail style menu with canapes and more substantial options

Our Feasting style menu, which includes 4 canapes, shared main courses, followed by shared or roaming desserts

Grazing tables of charcuterie, antipasti, dips, salads, breads and crackers.

Themed food stations, like a sushi bar, an oyster bar, or a street side hot dog vendor.

• Grazing tables or smaller share platters, either as a starter or for the main meal offering are both popular.
• Hot and cold canapés + a few more substantial ‘mini meals’ such as fish & chips in noodle boxes or greek lamb & cous cous served on small disposable plates, salt n pepper calamari platters etc.
• Then a few different mini sweet treats to finish off.

We would recommend  5-7 choices if you have a grazing table or share platters as starters & 8-10 without.

This is the ONLY style of catering we offer! It creates a relaxed & social atmosphere that your guests are sure to enjoy. Just make sure there is still plenty of seating for when they get tired of standing. Boho styling is on trend right now so you could have a lounge or two, some tables and chairs and also scatter cushions and rugs.

Our wood-fired pizzas are made in gorgeous vintage vehicles such as an Airstream, Chevy, Bedford or teardrop trailer! We also offer yummy antipasto grazing tables, hot spuds cooked in our wood-fired oven, salads and fresh homemade gelato. If you're looking for a relaxed vibe, we'd love to help you out with a quote :)
