There are many different types of Children’s Party Food.
However, you will only need a few.
Your task is to choose a variety which will be suitable for your kind of party.
Some items you will be able to buy ready for serving.
Some you will prepare and/or bake.
Some you will be able to obtain ready cooked.
Various Foods
Mini rolls, sandwiches
Cheese
Cheese straws, mini cheese scones
Sausages, sausage rolls
Raw carrot, cucumber fingers and mayonnaise
Pancakes
Pasta
Pizza – cut it into small pieces, keep to plain tomato (paste not pieces) and cheese.
Chicken wings, mini chicken dippers
Popcorn – sweet and/or savoury
Potatoes – baked, new boiled, roasted, wedges
Mini hot dogs or burgers
Buns
Crackers, crisps
Gingerbread men
Shortbread
Cookies
Chocolate Rice Krispie cakes
Flapjack
Meringues – use food colouring to produce varied colours or maybe to match your chosen theme
Mini cup cakes
Fruit – grapes, strawberries, raisings, banana, apple
Ice creams – with cones, syrups, sprinkles – maybe individual prepacked or lollies, popsicles.
Mini fromage frais/yoghurt
Juice – choose light coloured (blackcurrant is a no-no) because it will be spilt by someone and you want drinks which won’t stain. Only half fill cups for the same reason.
Take care to have a variety of food but don’t go over the top. The children will be more interested in fun than the food.
