Buffets By Design Wimbledon Catering

The perfect way to enjoy Wimbledon this Summer!

Wimbledon and summer are two perfect excuses to organise a little get together with friends and family. But, how can you throw an awesome Wimbledon 2019 Championship party? What are the food and drink must-haves for your summer function? And, most importantly, what have strawberries and cream got to do with Wimbledon?

Why Strawberries and Cream?

A whooping 10,000l of cream and 28,000kg of strawberries are consumed at Wimbledon each year, what has made this pair so iconic? One theory being that Thomas Wolsey, a figure in the court of King Henry VIII, would treat tennis spectators at his tennis court on his palace grounds to the delicious duo, and well…it seemed to catch on, for which we a very grateful.

Party food must-haves

Anything with Strawberries and Cream!

This is a necessity for any tennis get together. You can either serve strawberries and cream as they are or create delicious strawberry cakes with cream on the side. At Buffets by Design we offer a delicious pavlova which we can jam-pack full of strawberries and supply with plenty of cream for your party!

Typical British Sandwiches

The Wimbledon Championships are an extremely British celebration so having quintessentially British sandwich fillings are a must have for a buffet table.

Here are some top sandwiches:

  • Salmon and cream cheese
  • Roast beef
  • Or why not the Great British bacon butty!

Finger Buffets

These are a must for any summer party, and especially essential for Wimbledon themed events. As a host, finger buffets are very low maintenance and you are still able to enjoy watching the match just as much as the guests! Check out our Finger Buffet menus here. We offer an assorted sandwich platter, cocktail sausages with chutney dips, honey glazed chicken wings and much more.

Drinks

Pimm’s, Pimm’s, and more Pimm’s!

Enough said, there is no such thing as too much Pimm’s when it comes to Wimbledon, which happens to sell over 300,000 glasses of it throughout the duration of the championships!

A Glass of Champagne? Or maybe two?

Another must, is a bottle of champagne or prosecco, serve with a sliced strawberry.

Fruit Infused Water

Always supply tasty non-alcoholic options for guests. Infused water is healthy, affordable and looks great on the table. You can get very creative with the ingredients you use. We would recommend you make this first thing in morning, so the fruity goodness diffuses out into the water.

Here are four refreshing ideas:

  • Lemon, ginger and mint leaves (also great warmed up)
  • Cucumber, lime and strawberry
  • Orange, lemon and lime
  • Kiwi and blueberries
