Halloween is a little over a month away, so now is the time to start planning your party. You’ve got an inkling feeling that you’ve forgotten… something. Decorations, check. Candy for trick or treaters, check. Costumes, check.

If you’re looking to hire a catering company to provide the best Halloween treats and snacks, here are some fun, delicious, and visually appealing options that will delight both kids and adults:

1. Spooky Charcuterie Boards

• Presentation: Include a few decorative spiders, mini pumpkins, and edible flowers for an eerie touch.

2. Mummy Jalapeño Poppers

• Description: Jalapeño peppers stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in puff pastry strips to look like mummies, complete with little olive slice “eyes.”

Casual corporate events provide the perfect opportunity to connect with team members and make important announcements. These events can significantly improve employee morale and workplace productivity.

The right food and catering service can help turn your casual event into a meaningful experience that your team members will talk about for years to come.

Corporate Event Catering

Casual events do not require a full meal. In fact, serving a full meal can make your event feel more formal. Hors d’oeuvres are the ideal choice for casual corporate events. These portable, one-bite snacks allow your guests to sample a variety of food while getting to know each other.

Silver Spoon Caterers provides a wide range of hors d’oeuvres for casual corporate events. We offer vegetarian, gluten free and vegan options to ensure that all your attendees are fully satisfied. The following choices are perfect for casual events.

• Coconut Shrimp

  Similar to pigs in a blanket, our puff pastry franks feature an angus hot dog wrapped in golden pastry and served with a selection of condiments

  Our savory Memphis-style BBQ pork served in a cornbread cup and topped with sharp cheddar
• Yakitori Chicken Skewers
  Japanese-style chicken skewers prepared with Szechuan peppers, soy, scallions, and local honey
