Planning Food for a Communion Party at Home - a step by step guide


To cater or not to cater

Planning food for a communion party at home is probably the most intimidating part of the event. It can be very tempting to plan a menu and bid to do all of the cooking yourself but while it all sounds achievable in theory, it can be a real recipe for stress.

Remember, on the day you will have to get your child (or children) ready, make yourself presentable, leave the house semi presentable and be at the church for the actual service with your presentable family. You don’t want to be worrying about whether you left the hob on as you’re watching your child recite the Hail Mary!

It is definitely worth considering a professional caterer. What it adds on in expense, it takes away in stress. We are happy to recommend more caterers if you wish to phone our office 012943111.

Self-catering

Finger food is simple in theory but it can end up quite expensive. There is also a limited space in the oven at any given time and there is always the worry that people will still be hungry.

A safe bet would be to choose:

  • 4 main dishes (or 2 mains and 2 cold meats)
  • 3 sides (potatoes, rice, pasta)
  • 4 salads (potato coleslaw, green leaf, Mediterranean, & pasta salad)
  • 4 desserts.

(Suggested meals listed below)
