HOW TO ORGANISE AN AWESOME PARTY THAT'S STRESS FREE!

Planning and hosting events can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. With a bit of organisation and the right catering, you can create a fun and memorable event without breaking a sweat. One of the easiest ways to reduce party stress? Let Salad Servers Direct handle the salads, so you can focus on enjoying the day with your guests.

With over 60 epic party salads on offer, Salad Servers Direct has a large part of the catering covered, making your life much easier. From fresh garden salads to gourmet options, we have something for every event, whether it’s a casual BBQ, birthday party, or special celebration. While we whip up the deliciousness, you can focus on planning the perfect party and kicking back with your loved ones.

Step 1: Order Fresh Salads

When it comes to catering, simplicity is key. Instead of spending hours shopping for ingredients and prepping meals, order a selection of ready-made salads from Salad Servers Direct. Create a balanced spread by mixing light salads, like a classic Greek or garden salad, with heartier options such as pasta or potato salad. This variety ensures there’s something for everyone, easily catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. Not only does this save you time, but it’s often more affordable than making everything from scratch. When you factor in the cost of ingredients, along with the time and effort of preparation, ordering salads can help you stick to your budget while still providing fresh, high-quality food.

Step 2: Decide what to pair with your salads:

Now that your salads are sorted, it's time to decide what to pair them with. Whether you’re hosting a BBQ, a casual gathering, or a more formal event, these delicious options will complement your salads and ensure your guests leave satisfied. 

  1. Grilled Meats – BBQ chicken, steak, sausages, or lamb chops for a hearty main dish.
  2. Roast Vegetables – Sweet potatoes, carrots, or roasted seasonal vegetables add a warm, earthy touch.
  3. Seafood Platters – Prawns, smoked salmon, or grilled fish for a fresh, light option.
  4. Bread and Dips – Artisan bread with hummus, guacamole, or tzatziki as perfect starters or sides.
  5. Charcuterie Board – A selection of cured meats, cheeses, olives, and crackers for a grazing option.
  6. BBQ Skewers – Chicken, beef, or veggie skewers grilled to perfection.
  7. Grilled Halloumi – Serve warm halloumi slices alongside fresh salads for a salty, delicious contrast.
  8. Roast Chicken – Juicy roast chicken to complement the freshness of your salads.
  9. Pizza – Classic pizzas with a variety of toppings, like Margherita, pepperoni, or veggie, pair perfectly with fresh salads.
  10. Quiches – Savoury quiches filled with ingredients like spinach, mushrooms, or cheese for a light but satisfying dish.

Step 3: Easy Delivery and Presentation

Your salads will arrive at your door or party venue in a chilled box, ensuring they stay fresh. Each salad is vacuum-sealed to maintain maximum freshness, so you won’t have to worry about wilting greens or soggy ingredients. When it’s time to serve, simply transfer the salads into bowls of your choice. Whether you’re using BBQ trays for a casual gathering or handmade ceramic bowls for a more formal event, the presentation is totally up to you. For an added touch, sprinkle fresh herbs or edible flowers over the top to make your dishes look even more inviting.

Don’t forget the essentials - make sure to have salad servers or tongs ready for each dish to make serving smooth and simple.

Step 4: Focus on Hosting

With the catering taken care of, you can concentrate on what really matters, enjoying the party with your guests. Hosting doesn’t have to be stressful when you know the food is sorted. Whether your event is a relaxed afternoon BBQ or a more elaborate dinner party, having ready-made salads from Salad Servers Direct takes the pressure off. You’ll have more time to socialise, enjoy the company of your loved ones, and even relax a bit yourself!
