A Spanish restaurant in Mornington is easily considered a good venue for any special events or occasions. Any restaurant, for that matter, is a good event destination because they have something unique to offer. Holding an event is no simple matter. It deserves intense planning and serious thinking.
Aside from a great production, the food is perhaps the most-awaited and focal point of any event. As food brings people together, it is a vital component to any gathering. More often than not, guests even remember the food more than the actual event.
With this said, the menu has to stand out. It has to have some twists and turns that many may find an unexpected, yet pleasant surprise. Therefore, different menu ideas have to be in place. This is essential so there’s always new ways to revamp the “surprise factor” to any event dishes served.
Here are some catering ideas to make it any event memorable and a stand out:
Farm to Table
This is surely going to be a hit especially if the guests are mostly in their 40s and above. These guests are commonly the one’s going for the salad bar more than the meat area. They also prefer fish over beef or pork. With farm to table, not only is it healthier, but it also helps the environment and at the same time supports local farmers. Different function rooms in Mornington can surely accommodate this theme.
Bento Boxes
Why not? This Japanese version of the lunch box is attractive, unique, and convenient. As most dishes are already packed in one authentic container, there won’t be much serving required. Also, wastage may be kept to a minimum. If guests can’t finish their bento meal, they surely can take it home. The box then becomes a nice souvenir as well.
Donuts
Who doesn’t love donuts? Regardless of the event, there is always some space for the good ‘ole donuts. Though well-loved, donuts are left out of any event menu (for some reason). Breakaway from this trend and let the donuts be part of any event. If there are kids in attendance, they surely will love the idea too.
Italian Food
Just like the donut, there is always room for authentic slices of pizza and cannoli, right? Add to the mix some lasagna or authentic Bolognese. Well, that makes for a gastronomically successful event! Everyone loves some Italian in their meals. Guests are sure to rave about having an Italian-themed section. Or, why not have the entire menu Italian-inspired?
Spanish Food
From one Mediterranean country to another. Though Italian food is relatively more popular, Spanish food needs to be glorified as well. It needs to take the center stage in terms of its popularity among the events and catering professionals.

As such, here are some amazing Spanish dishes that are perfectly served to any tapas party:
Croquettes
The croquettes can either be made from mushrooms, potatoes, ham, and cheese. Such ingredients already are favored by many. Even better, it is very easy to eat. That’s the essence of a tapa party anyway. Tapas are bite-sized Spanish delights that bring everyone together over food, wine, and amazing stories of love and success.
Chorizo Skewers
Who doesn’t like the salty, spicy, and tangy Chorizo de Bilbao? Well, kick it up a notch by adding olives and Manchego cheese in one small skewer. It goes so well with wine. Different function rooms in Mornington most likely can have a dedicated wine bar. Also, the Chorizo skewers are sure to fill up any guest without making them uncomfortably bloated from being so stuffed.
Chicken Empanadas
Oh, the great empanada! It’s always a perfect snack time grub. But, who said it’s only a good choice for snacks? Empanadas (especially the little ones) may also be served as an appetizer. Or, to stay true to the tapas theme, it could be the focal point of the merriment. Empanada is versatile. Here, chicken is a popular choice. However, the empanada can have beef, pork, tuna, shrimp, and vegetarian filling. Want to know the best empanada to serve? Sample some of the best in a Spanish restaurant in Mornington.
