Today we want to share with you two of our favourite and most delicious food station set ups for any event. We recently shared these on our Facebook page - check it out for more great food photos whether you're feeling hungry or need some inspiration for your next event. 

First up:   Cognac and Chocolate

If this isn't a match made in heaven, we don't know what is! These two flavours compliment each other in ways we can't describe and  it's a great way to treat your guests to something they might not get to taste very often. Handmade gourmet chocolate treats will have guests rushing to this food station every few minutes! Make sure to keep this one topped up at the cocktail or garden party ;)

Equally as delicious:   Cheese. Meat. Fruit.

Whoever doesn't love this combo is kidding themselves. Having a fresh range of fruit produce accompanied by some beautifully aged cheese and bite sized cured meat portions is a great addition to any event. Perfect for cocktail parties or Spring celebrations - this platter not only tastes great, all the colours and flavours make it a great conversation starter and photo op!

Laissez-faire at EVENT INCEPTION 2016

Events and Catering Showcase: Event Inception 2016

Here at Laissez-faire, we love celebrating our achievements and continuing to provide top quality service and food to all of our clients. On the 9th and 10th of August this year, we had the pleasure of showcasing our catering strengths at EVENT INCEPTION 2016.

 

Sydney’s leading events industry showcase, EVENT INCEPTION 2016, was host to 500 attendees and an impressive range of partners and suppliers, including Laissez-faire.  

 

Last year, EVENT INCEPTION took advantage of the spacious areas at one of our favourite venues, the Australian Technology Park  in Sydney. This year the showcase continued to impress with dining studios and other exhibition spaces at the famous COMMUNE, Waterloo.

The functional and aesthetic warehouse interior of the venue played a big role in the success of the most recent showcase.
