Choosing the right party tray size can save you money, reduce food waste, and ensure every guest leaves satisfied. Ordering too little causes embarrassment, while ordering too much leads to unnecessary waste.
This simple guide will help you choose the perfect tray size for your event with confidence.
⭐ 1. Start With Your Guest Count
Guest numbers are the foundation of every good food decision.
- 6–8 people
Choose the Small Tray - 10–15 people
Choose the Medium Tray - 20–30 people
Choose the Large Party Tray - 50–100 people
Choose the Mega Owambe Pack
These portions are designed for Nigerian party-style servings, not small restaurant portions.
⭐ 2. Consider the Type of Event
Different events affect how people eat.
Home celebrations
Guests are relaxed and often go for second servings. Medium or Large trays are safer.
Office gatherings
Portions are usually controlled and timed. Medium trays are often sufficient.
Big parties, birthdays, and weddings
Crowd surge, late arrivals, and takeaways are common. Always choose Large or Mega trays to avoid shortage.
⭐ 3. Add Protein for Better Satisfaction
Jollof rice tastes great on its own, but protein makes the experience complete.
Adding protein helps guests feel fuller and more satisfied. Popular options include:
- Chicken
- Turkey
- Goat meat
- Assorted meat
Events with protein always feel more premium and memorable.
⭐ 4. Add Side Dishes for Variety
Side dishes don’t just add flavour — they stretch portions and improve presentation.
Recommended sides include:
- Fried plantain (dodo)
- Moi Moi
- Coleslaw
Side dishes help your food table look richer and allow jollof rice to serve more guests comfortably.
⭐ 5. Consider Your Budget
We offer tray sizes for different budgets.
If you’re hosting many guests on a tight budget, a Medium tray paired with side dishes or snacks can still serve well. Smart combinations often cost less than simply upsizing trays.
⭐ 6. Order Early for Big Events
For events with 50 guests or more, early booking is important.
Pre-ordering guarantees:
- Availability
- Proper planning
- On-time delivery
This is especially important for weddings, owambe, and corporate events.
