Dutch Dining

Hosting for a friend

One of my friends lives in London & when she's down it's usually for a function. It's so much easier to catch up with good friends around a dinner table & at home because you don't get the distractions from a restaurant. On this visit we've decided to do it a little differently, it Chinese New Year so were ordering a Chinese Takeaway DIY style. 



Here's our 5 tips on Easy Entertaining or hosting for someone else: 

1. Let them know the maximum number you can host around the table & ask them for a guest list with a reserve incase anyone rsvp's no. 

2. I'm all about themes as it makes catering & hosting easier because you've got the theme to fall back on. So pick a theme, in this instance we chose Chinese New Year. 

3. Order out so you don't have to spend time cooking and washing up all of those pots & pans. 

4. Ask all attendees to BYOB bring their own beverage, so you're not spending lots if money on alcohol. 

5. Pre-Oder the menu so on the evening you can relax & enjoy! You can even ask people to pay in advance, so they just have to show up, eat, drink & be merry!
