Types Of Food Service

Akopọ

The same jollof rice can reach a guest in very different ways. A waiter may lift it from a silver dish onto the plate at your elbow, a chef may flame it beside your table on a trolley, or you may simply walk up to a long table at an owambe and heap your own plate. Each of these is a recognised style of food service, and choosing the right one can make or break an event.

In this lesson you will learn the main styles of food service used in hotels, restaurants and at Nigerian celebrations. You will meet gueridon, silver, buffet and banquet service in depth, see how each one is carried out, and learn to weigh speed against skill against cost so that you can pick the style that fits the occasion, the budget and the number of guests.

A caterer in Ibadan is asked to feed four hundred guests at a wedding that starts at noon. Down the road, a small fine dining restaurant in Victoria Island is preparing to serve twelve guests a slow, memorable dinner. Both are serving food, yet the way each delivers it must be completely different. Send waiters to plate four hundred meals one dish at a time and the wedding will still be eating at midnight. Set up a self service table for the twelve diners and the restaurant will feel like a canteen. The style of food service is a deliberate choice, and a good caterer chooses it the way a cook chooses a method of cooking: to suit the food, the guests and the setting.
