Make Your Event Unforgettable: Extra Portions with FanThai Sticks Catering

Hello and welcome, fellow event enthusiasts! Whether you’re planning a wedding, a birthday bash, or an office corporate party where Janet from Accounts inevitably spills red wine on important spreadsheets, one thing is certain: food is a big deal. But did you know that the alcohol factor can add a little extra spice (and appetite) to your catering plans? Let’s dive into why ordering more portions when alcohol is involved is not just a good idea, but an absolute must!
1. The Magic of Liquid Courage 🍷✨
First things first: once the corks start popping, people get brave. And what’s the first thing they do when they’re feeling confident? They strut up to the buffet like they own the place! Suddenly, that modest Thai tapas platter you put together looks like a magician’s disappearing act. Poof! Gone. And let’s be honest, no one keeps track of how many spring rolls they’ve inhaled after the third glass of Prosecco. As the saying goes, “What happens at the buffet, stays at the buffet!”
2. The All-You-Can-Eat Challenge 😋🏆
Every event has that one person—a cousin, a friend, or even Uncle Bob—who treats a buffet like an Olympic sport. They’ll pile their plate high enough to warrant an environmental impact assessment! When alcohol is flowing, suddenly every guest feels like a contestant in an all-you-can-eat challenge. And while we love a competitive spirit, your carefully curated food selection might not survive the frenzy. The result? Hurt feelings, hungry guests, and you, biting your nails in the corner!
3. A Full Stomach is a Happy Stomach 🍽️😊
Alcohol hits differently on an empty stomach, folks! With a few drinks in hand, folks are suddenly inspired to savour every bite—until they suddenly find themselves forgetting to pace themselves. Mixed drinks can create a perfect storm of appetite, making that shrimp cocktail look more inviting than ever. Trust us when we say that a full belly leads to happy, dance-floor-dominating guests.
4. The Aftermath of Happy Hours 😴💤
There’s a reason they say “the morning after” in hushed tones. A little too much fun means a lot more food in the form of late-night fridge raids. When guests smell those leftover Pad Thai , they’re not just going to think about it—they’re going to come hunting. It’s a culinary treasure hunt, and you want to make sure that treasure chest is overflowing with goodies!
5. “I Swear I Thought That Was an Appetiser!” 🥴🙈
Ever been in a situation where someone feels just fine until they realise they’ve eaten the last of the satay chicken ? There’s usually enough tension in the air to cut with a butter knife! By planning for more portions, you can avoid the “I thought that was just a sample” debacle that leads to ruffled feathers (and an unholy amount of awkwardness).
The Final Verdict
In the end, ordering 20% extra portions when alcohol is present is your insurance policy against hungry guests, competitive eaters, and late-night bread-thieves! Here at FanThai Sticks, we take pride in crafting just the right menu for your event, ensuring everyone leaves feeling satisfied and ready to Karaoke their hearts out!
So, the next time you’re planning an event, remember: when in doubt, add an extra tray of that delicious Thai spring roll or another platter of those mesmerizing Thai fishcakes. Because happy guests mean happy hosting, and a night to remember (or, perhaps, forget in the morning)!
Cheers, and happy planning from the team at FanThai Sticks—where every event is a feast fit for your friends and family! 🍻
