Planning a sit-down event can feel overwhelming: the seating, the pacing, the service details. But with CaterCo’s Co’s Palate Set Course Dining, what once felt complicated becomes simple, elegant, and absolutely memorable.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a seamless, stress-free sit-down event with CaterCo by your side.
1. Select Your Set Course Menu Early
Choosing the right menu sets the tone for your event.
Co’s Palate offers:
- 2-course, 3-course, or 4-course plated menus
- Globally inspired starters, mains, and desserts
- Halal-certified, beautifully presented options
Browse the menu offerings at our Co’s Palate Set Course page.
Confirm your selections early so we can help coordinate the best service pacing and dish flow for your event style.
2. Plan Your Layout Around Comfort and Flow
Fine dining isn’t just about food—it’s about experience.
Make sure your venue layout supports:
- Easy movement for guests and service staff
- Clear pathways for serving and clearing
- Intimate, conversation-friendly seating arrangements
Our Bespoke Events team can advise you on the ideal table setup, service pathways, and visual touches to enhance the atmosphere.
3. Synchronise Your Service Timing
Service pacing is everything. To create that restaurant-quality rhythm:
- Allow guests 10 minutes after seating for starters to arrive
- Clear plates promptly but without rushing
- Maintain 15–20 minute gaps between courses for conversation and flow
Ordering Co’s Palate ensures each plated dish arrives ready for seamless pacing—whether you’re hosting with staff or coordinating yourself.

Consider enhancing the event with:
- Small printed menus at each seat
- Candles, fresh flowers, or neutral linens
- Background music that complements the theme but doesn’t overpower conversation
Simple touches like these heighten the experience without adding to your workload.
