Summer is the perfect time for outdoor weddings, parties, and celebrations with family and friends. With everything going on in the world, we could all use a little fun – and small, outdoor gatherings with close friends and family are just what we need. Here in eastern North Carolina, summer means a lot of beautiful, warm weather – perfect for any get together. And, what makes for a memorable event? Great food! Here are a few of our favorite summer catering menu items to help you throw your best party yet. And, even better, you can get all of these items catered by Scarborough Fare! Get all the great food, without having to grocery shop, cook or clean up.
Appetizers
Sometimes, hors d’oeuvres, appetizers and finger foods are all you need to create a wonderful celebration. Perfect for small gatherings, as well as more upscale events, appetizers are both easy and elegant. They are just enough to fill everyone up but won’t leave them feeling overly full and groggy after they eat. Appetizers are also a great way to start longer parties to make sure that everyone is having fun – and not focusing on a growling stomach.
Here are a few of our favorite summer hors d’oeuvres you can order now:
Crab Au Gratin Dip
Crab and Artichoke Dip
Pimento Cheese/ Sausage and Pimento Cheese Dip
Bacon Wrapped Dates
Sausage and Cream Cheese Stuffed Baby Peppers
Mango Salsa
Entrées
If your party is a longer affair, it is smart to offer entrees and main courses. Of course, you can still include passed appetizers, but having a custom catered dining menu will ensure that guests are satisfied.
Here are great summer entrée options:
Chipotle Chili Marinated Flank Steak
Soba Noodles with Veggies and Soy-Ginger Sauce
Southwestern Alfredo Penne Pasta
