Great Fast Food and Restaurant Chain Catering Options According to the Season

By Catering Staff | August 24, 2016

If you have been researching about catering for your event for a few days now, you will know that opting for what’s in season will let save some on your catering costs. However, if you’re opting for a fast food and restaurant chain to cater your event, it doesn’t necessarily follow as these establishments will have fixed rates and prices for their products and services.

This doesn’t mean that you should skip getting a seasonal menu, though. Serving what’s in season will help you celebrate the time of the year better, allowing you and your guests to remember the event even easier. As a lot of people don’t easily forget the remarkable things that they ate at parties, serving soup on a cold winter day for an engagement party will make a good mark on your memories.

To help you make easier connections between the fast food and restaurant chains that might be best for each season, here are some suggestions that you might find handy:

Spring events are all about light food that are brimming with fresh ingredients. Here, you can opt for lighter food items that can be easily eaten on picnics or cocktail parties. So for spring, sandwiches, salads, and a good load of Mediterranean cuisine could be perfect for your event. The best fast food caterers that you can consider are Subway, Quiznos, Potbelly, Which Wich, and Zoe’s among many others.

Bbq parties are big during the summer months and even if you don’t have  a backyard grill, you can still serve grilled food to your guests for your poolside bash. How? Get the catering services of Famous Dave’s and Smokey Bones. These two casual dining eateries are known for their barbecue sauces and wide selection of meats, making them perfect for a summer soiree.

Aside from being the loveliest season of the year, autumn is a great time for more intimate parties and get togethers. This is why you should opt for fast food catering of Boston Market for some homestyle meals and Arby’s meat platters for some charcuterie and wine night with friends for these months.

For winter, make sure to serve food that will fill the belly with warmth and happiness. Panera is a great choice for these freezing months as they can provide the tastiest soups and breads to your guests.

Of course, it’s still all up to you what to serve and which fast food caterer to get for your event. You can even totally go against what’s in season to give your party a nice twist. But in case you feel like having some food that matches the time of the year on your get together, these pairings could be very handy for you.
