Of course, there are many varieties of lunch events, and it will be up to you to select suitable dishes, beverages, and services. With the rising popularity of Asian food, the Asian caterers in London are in demand. Let us see what to be followed while planning a lunch event in London.

Types of Lunch Events
Not all lunch events are similar, and it will be up to you to make suggestions relevant to the occasion, the venue, and the number of patrons being served. For example, a lunch provisioned to a working group in a corporate setting will be quite different from a formal meal served in an Asian wedding ceremony.
Here are a few excellent varieties to consider:

A.   What is the event? Is it a formal one, such as a sit-down luncheon served after a lovely morning wedding or is a pure corporate lunch after meeting?"

B.    Will this be a seated or buffet event? While most lunches are served in a buffet style, you'll need to discuss with your caterer before making that assumption.

C.    How many dishes are being served? If you're helping hundreds (or only a dozen), you should consider proper foods, service options, and the price points.

D.   Where is the event taking place? In some cases, catering occurs at a big venue where the staff and amenities are event-ready. In other instances, lunches may be staged in private homes or unusual settings like a museum gallery.

Popular Lunch Event Options

1.  Deli Buffets:

The deli buffet is quite famous for a simple event and contains mostly finger food which is easy to select and can usually please any crowd. Most deli buffets include the following:
     Mixed green salad
     Fruit salad, antipasto and chips, potato salad
     Three types of sandwich meats
     Dessert trays

2. Themed Ethnic Buffets:

Most Asian caterers in London will offer multiple different themed lunch options like Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali etc.. These options allow the event planner to organise their food selection into the overall theme of an event, especially the wedding. Be sure to include a variety of appetizers, entree and dessert choices related to any of these and other themes of the buffet.

Beverages:
Regardless of the kind of meal selected, it's necessary to offer guests quality drinks to go along with their food. With the upgraded popularity of flavoured waters, vitamin waters as well as energy drinks, event planners should ask for specific brands and flavours of drinking waters in addition to essential bottled water. Other common options are:
     Assorted soft drinks
     Assorted bottled juices
     Bottled water
     Coffee, tea
