BUFFET SERVICE

BUFFET SERVICE
– It is a self-service where food is displayed on
tables. The guests take plates stacked at the
beginning of the table and proceed along
requesting the buffet attention to serve them or they
help themselves. In stand –up buffets, guests are
forced to stand and eat. This type of service is
found in banquet halls catering to large number of
guests.

Buffet or Fork Buffet
As the name suggest, there is no provision of
elaborate cutlery, hence the name ‘Fork Buffet’
since one can’t use a knife, so they use fork when
one is eating while standing.

Special care is taken in this kind of food. It must be

made sure that it’s easy to eat and can be eaten
with fork. Anything that would need a knife is
avoided.

Curry, casseroles with rice and noodles, fish and

meat salads are basically desirable and common
items in this buffet.
DISPLAY BUFFET

The guests select their food and then eat at a table. Here the
guests approach the buffet at its various service points to select
their requirements course by course. Most ancillary items may
also be collected, if needed, at the buffet. These might include
rolls, butter, sauces, napkin, tableware etc. The guests then return
to their tables to consume the different parts of the meal. The
table layouts are similar to the standard banquet layouts. The
clearing of the tables takes place in the same way as for formal
Banquets.
