Here at Parties to Go we’re passionate about food and everything that goes with it. Whether we’re trying out a new dish or busy preparing a stunning menu for a fairytale wedding we love sharing our stories, top tips or just tell letting people know what we have been up to. So here is a little round up of what has been going on with us.

TikTok food trends to revolutionise your party

TikTok is a social media platform which has blown up in the last couple of years. Although we’re not currently on Tik Tok as a business, we love watching the shared creative videos. And we love all the TikTok food trends and ideas shared on this platform. 

Used daily by 1 billion users, the app is a powerhouse for all things food and party. Two of our favourite things. So, here at Parties to Go, we would love to share some of our most loved and current food trends. No matter how big or small your party is, they could make it extra special. 

Bring-a-board night

From meats to sweet treats, the bring-a-board night is fun and easy, and everyone can participate. Simply ask your guests to bring a food platter based on your theme and watch the creativity unfold. We have seen it all, from beige to Italian-themed board nights, with guests bringing everything from biscuits to pizza slices. Our board would be a British classic, piled high with mini Yorkshire puddings and fish and chips canapes – we know how it’s done! We just love this trend. And what a fabulous way to share your love for food. 

Nachos night

Yes, it really is as good as it sounds and is perfect for any sized party. You’ll just need to make sure you’ve got plenty of tin foil, as this night could get a little messy – but it’s totally worth it. For one night, your kitchen counter becomes a giant plate, as guests tuck into a heap of nachos stacked high with whatever saucy toppings you fancy. We particularly love this night as no washing up is needed. What more could you want – Arriba!

Cocktail night

The cocktail night involves inviting your guests to make their own cocktail from the chosen theme (any theme you desire). We definitely love our food-themed nights as you can imagine – but thinking about beverages at your party is equally as important! Our highlights from this trend include the ‘Party with Percy’ M&S-themed cocktail and the twist on the classic Espresso Martini with a dash of baileys (oh yes, you heard that right!). We have had a good chuckle over the array of inventive names and just how creative these themed nights have been. 

Homemade pizza night

Bring out your inner child at a homemade pizza night, as you make your own (or buy – we won’t tell!) pizza dough and layer with any toppings you wish. Whether you are a pineapple on pizza lover or not so much, craft a pizza to your own individual tastes. Or even roll the dough into strips, fry and dip into Nutella. Whatever the topping, this night is a fantastic way to play with your food. 

Like what you’ve heard?

Social media really does offer some great inspiration when it comes to food and drink ideas for your party. Obviously, these TikTok food trends are appealing if you’re organizing everything yourself, but if you want to expand on them and need some help, then Parties to Go would love to be involved. We can certainly offer ideas around platter-themed evenings and provide everything you need to have pizzas for all. We can also provide everything you need for a Mexican-themed party and even a bar with a barman to add that special touch to any event. 

When you plan your next event, keep these trends in mind or head over to TikTok and find some for yourself. Or get in touch with us as we’re always happy to tailor to your event and tastes and create bespoke menus with you, for you.
