Party food and platters from your local FoodCoop
Party food is a key ingredient of any get-together. Ready-made bites from your FoodCoop store mean less time in the kitchen and more time with your guests.
Why choose ready-made party food?
Ready-made party food takes the stress out of hosting, so you can give friends and family your full attention.
You'll also have snacks ready if unexpected guests drop in.
And you don't need a party to enjoy it. Our party food makes a tasty light lunch or picky tea, with plenty of choice for even the fussiest appetites.
How do I cook easy-prep party food?
Our easy-prep party bites all cook in the oven at the same temperature, so there's no need to change the temperature between trays.
How do I make a party platter?
To make a party platter, group your food by theme, fill the gaps with sides and dips, then set out plates and napkins:
Group your food by theme
Try a veggie or vegan selection, a classic mix of meat and cheese nibbles, or a plate of sweet treats. Give each theme its own board or dish so guests can help themselves. Wooden boards give colourful food a neutral background, while bright plates and bowls add a pop of colour. Use whatever's in your cupboards: cake plates, pizza stones and even baking trays all work.
Fill the gaps with sides and dips
Add fresh veg such as peppers, carrots and cucumber, alongside crowd-pleasers like crisps and bread. Hummus and sweet chilli sauce make good dips. If your party food comes with its own dip, pour it into a small bowl that suits the rest of your platter. Olives and nuts are easier to pick up from small bowls or tall glasses.
Set out plates, napkins and cutlery
Put plates, napkins and cutlery where everyone can reach them. Then mix a few drinks, such as our Christmas cocktails, and enjoy the time with your friends and family.
Is there party food for vegan and veggie guests?
The FoodCoop party food range includes vegan, veggie and Free From choices, so it's easy to cater for different needs.
If a guest has a food allergy, check the allergen information on each pack. Give their food its own plate and serving spoon so it doesn't mix with other dishes.
