So whether you want a scary good time or just a delicious night in, be sure to check out these caterers for your next Halloween party!
Start with a savory appetizer like pumpkin hummus or spiced nuts
Many people start a meal with savory appetizers. This is because some people want to eat something sweet before they get too full and it’s easier to start out with a savory appetizer than with a dessert. The best way to start the meal is with pumpkin hummus or spiced nuts.
Pumpkin hummus is perfect for your appetizer because it will be able to satisfy the sweet tooth while still being an amazing dish in its own right. If you want to make spiced nuts, then you can buy them pre made or make your own from scratch.
Serve a main course of roasted chicken or beef brisket
There are plenty of delicious, ghoulishly-themed, main course options for your Halloween dinner. If you want something that’s perfect for a family-friendly Halloween meal, then a roasted chicken or beef brisket is an excellent choice. Roasting the meat in the oven can be done before guests arrive and it will just need to be heated up when it comes time to serve.
The best part about this is that there are no leftovers as everything is cooked in one go. Serve a spooky side dish If you want to start off your meal with something spooky that your whole family will love, try a yummy spooky side dish like the green ghost pepper mac and cheese or the pumpkin pie apple crumb cake. These dishes will have everyone begging for more while they wait on the main course to come out.
Offer sweet treats
Who doesn't love a good sweet treat? Offer something sweet like a mummy cupcake, chocolate-dipped apple, or caramel popcorn to entice your guests. These treats let them know there will be plenty of sugar to go around during the night! They're sure to be a hit with the kids (and adults!) alike. So get in the spooky spirit and have a fun night!
Don't forget the drinks!
Drinks are often an afterthought when it comes to planning a party or get-together, but they can actually be a great way to make your event more enjoyable for everyone. Whether you're serving alcoholic beverages or not, having a few drink options on hand can help your guests feel more comfortable and enjoy themselves.
A Halloween dinner doesn't have to be scary, it just has to be delicious. And to make sure your guests are well fed, give them drinks. Serve hot coffee, apple cider, and pumpkin spice lattes during the dinner. You’ll thank yourself later!
Make sure to decorate your table with Halloween themed items
Halloween is just around the corner and that means it's time to start thinking about how you're going to decorate your home. One of the most important things to remember is your table. After all, that's where you'll be spending most of your time eating and socializing with guests.
It’s easy to get caught up in the theme of your party and forget about the dishes you’ll be serving. It’s important to keep in mind that there are a lot of people who will be seeing and eating what you create so it’s best if all aspects of your party are themed, including the decorations on the table. The simplest way to do this is by adding Halloween themed items like spiders, bats, or pumpkins to your table. You can also add some creepy décor like skulls or skeletons.
