You’ve got kids, teenagers, adults, and maybe even a few grandparents all attending the same event. How do you plan a menu that satisfies everyone—from picky toddlers to spice-loving uncles and diet-conscious aunties? The answer: flexibility, thoughtful portioning, and a catering partner who’s seen it all.
At CaterCo, we specialise in meals that work across generations. Whether it’s a full Buffet Spread, easy-to-handle Bento Boxes, or comforting Drop-Off Trays, our food is designed to feel familiar yet exciting—hearty yet healthy.
Planning for a Mixed Crowd
Catering for a diverse age group is not about offering “kids’ food” and “adult food.” It’s about creating a balanced menu that includes a variety of textures, spice levels, and familiar favourites.
Start with the staples—rice or noodles as a base. Add crowd-pleasers like honey chicken or black pepper fish. Then include vegetable dishes and one or two adventurous options for the foodies in the group. If needed, we’ll suggest mild, non-spicy, or vegetarian alternatives for younger or elderly guests.
Our menus are fully halal-certified and designed to be enjoyed by people from all walks of life.
Bite-Sized Tips for Feeding Everyone Right
If you’re ordering a buffet, go for variety. We recommend at least two proteins, one carb, one vegetable, and a dessert. If you’re choosing bentos, let us know your guest profile—we can adjust spice levels or swap out items for younger palates.
Don’t forget drink options. For family events, we can include refreshing cold brews or fruit teas, and our team can help you prepare for dietary restrictions or allergies ahead of time.
Events That Bring Every Age to the Table
We’ve supported hundreds of family and community events across Singapore, including:
- Birthday parties for kids, teens, and adults
- Anniversary and milestone celebrations
- Community and religious gatherings
- School and preschool functions
- Grandparents’ day events and extended family reunions
Each of these comes with different needs, and we help you plan around them—discreetly and professionally.
FAQs When Catering for Mixed-Age Groups
Can I request both spicy and non-spicy dishes in one order?
Yes. Many of our clients do. We’ll label everything clearly so guests can choose with confidence.
What about very young children?
We can portion smaller sets or recommend dishes with soft textures and low seasoning. Just let us know the age group.
Can you help with setup and presentation?
Definitely. Our Thematic Setup service makes everything look as good as it tastes—perfect for photo-taking and formal events.
How much should I order?
We’ll guide you based on your guest count, duration, and type of event. Reach out via our quote form and we’ll walk you through it.
