At a flying buffet, staff serve small dishes on platters instead of at a fixed buffet – ideal for sociable networking at events.
The flying buffet, also known as flying finger food or flying dinner, is a form of catering in which service staff bring small portions on trays directly to the guests. Unlike the classic buffet, guests do not serve themselves – the food comes to them. This creates an informal, communicative atmosphere in which guests can move around freely and mingle at their ease.
The flying buffet scores above all with flexibility: guests sample a wide variety of small dishes without being tied to a fixed seat, and considerably less space is needed than for a classic dinner. The personal serving style encourages conversation and creates an interactive experience. Menus can be individually tailored to the occasion, theme and season. The format can be used both as a starter before a formal dinner and as a full replacement for a classic menu.
The flying buffet is particularly well suited to events where communication is the focus:
Seasonal menus as well as decorations such as flowers and atmospheric music round off the ambience.
Small, cold and warm bites are served, attractively arranged in glasses, on plates or platters. Typical components are:
The appealing presentation turns the food into an experience and gives every event a special touch.
A smooth process requires sufficient space for the service team and guests as well as several trained service staff. Thorough planning of the menu, decoration and logistics is crucial.
