Food Ideas for Company Picnics
Summer is coming and it is time to start planning your company picnic. First thing is first, you want to pick out what type of food to serve at your picnic. However there are a few decisions you are going to have to make about your picnic before you can choose a menu.
Food Ideas For Company Picnics
What time of day will it be held? If it is starting in the morning you will need to make sure to not only supply breakfast but snacks as well.
How long is your company picnic going to last? If it is going to be an all day affair you will have to supply either copious amounts of food or multiple meals.
Will you be serving alcohol? You need to be careful when serving alcohol. One too many drinks can turn a lovely company picnic into a disaster. However if that is not that case then make sure to supply plenty of water and carbohydrates.
Stay within budget
When planning at event for lots of people the cost of food can add up very quickly depending on the choices you make. At first having grilled salmon may sound great, but try feeding that to 200 plus co-workers. Picnic’s typically consist of your standard burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, and so on. But staying within budget doesn’t mean you have to conform to the norm. Here are a few inexpensive food options that serve well for tons of people.
- Ratatouille with feta
- macaroni and potato salad
- biscuits
- fried chicken
- Greek orzo
- grilled shrimp
- glazed ham
- honey beans
- tuna salad
- beet salad
- Pesto chicken pasta
- the list goes on!
Keep it Simple
When serving a lot of people there will be a lot of opinions, likes, and dislikes about the food. It is impossible to cater to everyone’s taste. So make sure to offer an option for the pickiest of eaters. Also don’t forget to supply and option for vegetarians or vegans!
