Tis the season to start planning a memorable festive event! If you’re looking for a fresh approach to Christmas catering that’s both laid-back and flavourful, our street food-inspired festive menu is well worth investigating.
While we’re more than happy to serve you a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings, you might not know that we also specialise in bringing the vibrant and comforting flavours of street food to your Christmas event, creating an experience that’s deliciously different and budget friendly.
6 street food-inspired Christmas menu options
We often get stuck in a rut when it comes to seasonal celebrations, so here are 6 catering ideas for a Christmas party with a difference.
- Festive Sliders
Say goodbye to traditional roasts and hello to festive sliders bursting with seasonal flavours. Our mini pulled turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce, roast beef sliders with horseradish cream, and portobello mushroom sliders with brie and caramelised onions will have you and your guests coming back for seconds.
- Taco Bar Extravaganza
Spice up your Christmas fiesta with a customisable taco bar. Guests can indulge in slow-cooked chipotle pork, chili-lime shrimp, or roasted sweet potato fillings, paired with fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, and queso fresco.
- Gourmet Hot Dogs
Upgrade the classic hot dog experience with our gourmet toppings. Treat your guests to bratwurst or vegan sausages topped with caramelized onions, sauerkraut, spicy mustard, and crispy bacon bits.
- Handheld Savouries
Our selection of mini pies and pastries will add a touch of elegance to your seasonal street food feast. From chicken and leek pies to mushroom and thyme turnovers, these handheld treats are perfect for holiday season mingling.
- Loaded Fries Station
We can even transform ordinary fries into a holiday sensation! We can serve up loaded fries with shredded turkey, stuffing, and gravy for a festive twist, or go vegetarian with melted cheese, caramelized onions, and cranberry sauce.
- Sweet Indulgences
No holiday spread is complete without a sweet treat. Treat your guests to festive cookies, mini donuts dusted with cinnamon sugar, or warm churros with chocolate dipping sauce.
