With the festive season on the horizon, your annual Christmas work party is only around the corner. Getting in there quickly and planning in advance is the best way to ensure that your party is a perfect success, but it can be hard to know where to start.
Here at Top Table, we have compiled a list of ways to efficiently choose the festive tableware you will need to throw a seamless and unforgettable work party.
Drinks
We don’t think there should be designated types of glassware to suit particular drinks. Why not drink coffee from a jug? However, your colleagues may think differently. So it’s necessary to be up-to-scratch on various glassware and what each type is for, and then understand which type you need.
There are many types of glasses, including Tumblers, Flutes, Hurricanes, Wine, and Snifter. Tumblers are the most commonly known type of glassware used in casual establishments and homes for non-alcoholic beverages.
However, the more specific glasses are suited to different cocktails, whisky, and wines. Drinking glasses are designed differently to enhance the aromas and correct the temperatures of the alcohol, inherently making the drink taste better.
Not only will your work party top the rest when it comes to drinks, but your guests are sure to be impressed with your knowledge of different glassware and its purposes.
Food
The most vital component of your Christmas party will be the food. Whether you decide on Christmas nibbles or multi-course meals, it is essential to ensure you have enough tableware to accommodate the amount of food, and the number of guests attending your party.
The festive tableware you require can be tricky to determine, as there are many options, from different types of spoons to variously-sized soup bowls. But we at Top Table are here to help.
- Christmas nibbles
Don’t think you’re off the hook with crockery if you choose to provide finger food! Your guests will still appreciate little plates for their nibbly foods, and including a slate plate on your buffet table will only make the spread look more appealing.
For foods that need to be kept at a warmer temperature, serving tongs will be a welcome addition to the table to prevent your colleagues from sustaining a minor burn.
You could also include a cake stand or serving trays for an amazing presentation. With so many options, where should you start?
Fortunately, we at Top Table have all this equipment and more for hire, so you can get everything you need all in one place!
- Meals
Your festive tableware should cover all the bases and ensure that your guests aren’t left with forks to eat soup.
Whether you need fifty 12” dinner plates, a crusade of sauce boats, or a hundred steak knives, we have an expansive selection of crockery, and cutlery for hire to ensure you’re well-equipped with festive tableware for your work party.
