Tips for Serving and Displaying Food to Keep Kids Happy

Food Stations vs. Sit-Down Style

Food stations allow freedom to choose and keep the flow moving. A sit-down is great for younger children or more structured events. Caterking provides both formats depending on your needs.

Labelling for Allergies and Dietary Restrictions

Use labels and colour-coded plates for allergies. This keeps kids safe and parents at ease. Caterking follows strict allergy protocols and offers clear signage for every item.

Keeping Things Neat and Fun



Kids love novelty: serve in mini buckets, mason jars, or on skewers. Use eco-friendly, disposable tableware to reduce mess and save on clean-up time. Bonus points for themed napkins and colourful trays.
