Whilst a lot of people like family activity holidays during the summer months, I am going to take a look at some of the best BBQ dishes from some of the top World Cup teams to help you relax in style this summer. If you are catering for a family BBQ this summer you may even want to give a few of these a go.

First up it’s Argentina with their impressive array of talent on the field and some beautiful chimichurri char-grilled t-bone steak off it. This is a simple t-bone steak marinated and grilled for a taste that could only come from Argentina. Argentina already have 2 World Cup’s under their belts and will be looking for the hat-trick this month in South Africa.

When it comes to England it has to be the classic English breakfast involving some egg and bacon straight from the barbeque. Fry the egg grill the bacon add some extras and you’ve got yourself a beautiful breakfast to eat whilst watching the world cup. Many people fancy England’s chances this year and despite the recent setback of having Rio Ferdinand injured hopes are still high for this summer’s World Cup.

Looking for a Brazilian BBQ this summer? Have a go at the Brazilian stuffed rib roast. Currently ranked as the top team in the world by FIFA, Brazil along with Spain will be favourites for the World Cup this summer.

Spain are currently ranked second in the world and for many people are the top team going into this year’s tournament. For a Spanish flavoured BBQ try this Spanish hot pepper sausage or spicy BBQ’ed chorizo. Having won the European championships in 2008 Spain go into the World Cup with their spirits high.

It may come as a surprise that Portugal are ranked 3^rd in world football but there can be no doubting that their Portuguese grilled sardines will make a great addition to any BBQ this summer. This is going to be Portugal’s 5^th appearance in the World Cup and they will be hoping their star man Cristiano Ronaldo will perform well, as they have been placed in the group of death.

One team that has been on blistering form during qualification winning every match and qualifying for the World Cup before anyone else is the Netherlands. If you want something a little spicy for your BBQ why not give the Dutch sate ayam a go during the World Cup.

As defending champions the Italians are sure to be in with a chance of glory this summer in South Africa. Off the field a neat little snack would be the Tuscan pancetta chicken ciabatta. A beautifully seasoned and grilled chicken breast wrapped in fine ciabatta bread, what could be better.

1. To begin with, does the caterer offer a range of menu options including the particular cuisine you are after? Most good Caterers will have detailed menu listings on their website. If they don’t you can contact them and request that it is sent to you via email or snail mail.
2. Identify what type of function you are planning to organise? Do you need private catering or corporate catering, a big or small event, formal or informal, inside or outside? Whatever you are planning, ensure that the caterer that most interests you, can actually handle the event.
3. Ensure the caterer that you choose is available on the day that you have planned. It is also worth checking to see that the Caterer has a 24 hour service and can be contacted 7 days a week. Many events are held after hours or on weekends so it will be a great disadvantage and frustration if you can’t contact your Caterer in the evening or on a Sunday morning when you suddenly think of something you need to discuss! You will definitely not want to pay more for your catering purely because it is not in the normal hours of business!
4. Does the catering company provide their own well-trained waiting personnel? Will the caterers ensure that the staff will be correctly addressed for the type of event that is being planned? Will the staff take care of everything from delivery and preparation, to waiting on the guests and cleaning up afterwards?
5. Looking at the list that was initially prepared, do you think that the catering company of your choice is capable of organizing the equipment that may be needed? This probably would include the tables, chairs, linen, crockery, glassware, cutlery and maybe even ovens and a bar serving area. Make sure they can provide what you need so that you don’t have to do additional running around to get what you need. Also ensure that their equipment is new and in pristine condition. The last thing that you need to offer your guest tatty linen and tarnished crockery.

1. Maybe you have to find a venue for your event? If so, a Caterer who can source a venue for you will save you time and have an established relationship with the venue. This will streamline the whole catering experience and make your life a lot easier!
2. If it is you desire to have a theme-based event, can the catering company help you to organise this, from cuisine choices to decorations and table settings?
3. Where will the caterer prepare the food? If your venue doesn’t have a kitchen the caterer will need to prepare and heat it at their premises and then deliver it ready to serve.
4. Can the Caterer organise all your drinks? This can be quite a difficult task if you were left to organise it yourself. Your first move would be to physically buy the drinks and then ensure their delivery to the venue. Then you need somewhere to store them and a method of keeping them cool. On the day you will need staff to serve the drinks along with a bar serving area, plus glasses etc. So if the Caterer doesn’t handle the drink side of the event, you will have a fair amount of work to do yourself. This should be crucial to your selection process.
5. Does the caterer of your choice have a cancellation policy in place? Are you likely to get all of your money refunded if the event is cancelled for whatever reason? It is advisable to scrutinise the company’s terms and conditions of business before you commit yourself to a deal.

There were three launches all together, Red Anywhere served a glass of champagne on arrival and drinks throughout the evening to the …guests, who included……

After a presentation, we then served a selection of Canapes including seared scallop, apple sauce and spiced sultanas, Chorizo & Mango Risotto and Sunblushed Tomato Tapenade with Poached Asparagus on Tomato & Basil Toast. Red Anywhere also served some Dessert Canapes which included, Lemon & Vanilla Posset with Blueberry Compote and Eton Mess.

Daniel CLarke, Creative Chef of Red Anywhere gave a demonstration during one of the launches which included filleting and deboning a whole plaice and explaining how to season and cook it. Dan then went on to show how to cut, prep and cook a Saddle of Lamb and a Whole Fillet of Beef. Everyone watched attentively while Dan explained the importance of seasoning meats with Salt & Pepper and then enjoyed watching him cook them. Dan even gave them a little taster so that guests could determine for themselves the difference between well seasoned meats and unseasoned meats. They then bombarded Dan with questions about how to cook certain meats and whats the best way to cook this and where the best place to buy that…etc

Giant Apple Events were managing a 40th birthday party for 80 people but with a twist…The theme was a 4th birthday party and was held at the Flying Fortress in Climping. This was an excellent venue with a children’s indoor climbing frame, bouncy castles and trampolines. The room was decorated with Huge 5ft balloons, ‘Happy Birthday’ signs

When asked, Red Anywhere were more than happy to cater for this event especially when there was the added challenge of creating new dishes suitable for Vegans.

Red Anywhere served up some fantastic Canapes, which were enjoyed by all, whether a Vegan or not. Then followed Red’s very popular Grazing Bowls, filled with Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges and Mango Salsa, Corn on the Cob with Lime & Chilli Butter, Leek & Potato Soup With Wild Mushrooms and Mini Sun-dried Tomato & Olive Pizzas.

We also made some delicious open sandwiches and home-made muffins to go on the buffet table for guests to help themselves to throughout the evening.

The Children played some party games including ‘pass the parcel’ and ‘Musical Chairs’ and danced the evening away to an excellent live band. There was even a naughty chair for anyone who misbehaved! At the end of the evening party bags were handed out whilst they waited for their parents…sorry taxis to collect them and take them back home!

Daniel Clarke, Red Anywhere’s Creative Chef, is more than happy to cater for any dietary requirement at any venue, any where, any time!

If you would like us to attend to your catering needs whether or not you have any dietary requirements then please contact me, Charlie Lovering on 0845 223 4472
