What to Look for When Choosing a Catering Partner for Your School's Next Event
School events are such a vital part of childhood, as they create many fond memories for students. While planning the logistics of these events offers unique challenges, food does not have to be one of them. Connecting with a reputable company that offers catering for schools makes it easy for you to order large quantities of prepared food without the hassle of cooking or shopping. When hiring a caterer, you’ll want to ensure that they offer kid-friendly options that can accommodate a variety of dietary needs. BBQ catering companies, like Smokin’ Bones, have years of experience with large events, making us a reliable choice for your next event. Contact us today to plan your menu.
Experience with School & Educational Events
It is vital that you work with a catering company that not only has experience with large-scale events, but also has supplied food for school events as well. Smokin’ Bones has successfully worked with schools in the GTA to provide kid-friendly catering for events. With freshly prepared food, all that's left to do is help serve the students. If your school does not have the staff to accommodate this, then you can hire our servers.
Ability to Accommodate Dietary Restrictions & Allergies
When planning menus for such large groups, like student bodies, there are bound to be a few common dietary restrictions. You’ll want to find a bbq catering company that can accommodate these restrictions with little to no hassle. At Smokin’ Bones, we offer multiple grill items on our school menu so that all students can have a fresh meal that they can actually enjoy. We can offer a combination of beef burgers, hot dogs, chicken burgers, and veggie burgers to ensure that as many dietary restrictions as possible are met. However, if you contact our team in advance with particular requirements, we can try our best to accommodate.
Menu Variety & Kid-Friendly Options
Finding catering for schools that offer kid-friendly options can be tricky. This is why BBQ catering is highly recommended for school events. BBQ classics offer familiar flavours without being too overpowering for kids with simple palettes. As mentioned above, we offer a few different BBQ classics for school events, and schools can even add on additional sides based on their needs.
Budget Transparency & Value
Budgeting for school events is crucial, as most schools can only allocate certain funds to their catering. Working with a caterer with transparent pricing and the ability to customize a menu to your budget is crucial. At Smokin’ Bones, you can find a detailed pricing list on our website or can reach out to our team for a detailed quote. For our school event menu, the more you order, the less the cost per person.
Choose Smokin’ Bones for School Catering
Choosing the right catering partner can make all the difference in creating a smooth, enjoyable school event that students and staff will remember for all the right reasons. By prioritizing experience, flexibility, and kid-friendly menus, you can take the stress out of feeding a crowd and focus on bringing your school community together.
