Buffet Assignment Part B: Report on the buffet The buffet was an interesting experience. I found that the recipes I chose yielded ten portions easily. These were no additional costs involved in the presentation of the dishes as I was specific in part A. I contributed to the layout of the buffet by helping set up the equipment that we needed i.e; spoons, tongs, hot water, hot boxes, carrying bainmarie’s and collecting service trays and dishes. I noticed that our buffet looked professional and well presented. This made people want to come back. Most people had a lot of questions about the food which all of the servers were happily obliged to answer. Our buffet was well topped up however the timing of some of the dishes could have been improved- and slowly did as we progressed over the weeks. I also thought that there was room to improve our selection of dishes. Some were complementary and others did not mesh. Perhaps we could have tried to lay it out more like a menu i.e. Used menu two and presented it like a buffet – only creating the menu first ourselves. If I were to make any changes prior to serving a buffet again I would modernize the serving ware and would implement strict time guide lines so that no food sits unnecessarily in hot boxes or out on tables. Over all it was a lot of fun and really rewarding to see most of the dishes come back
