Humble sandwich platters have, for previous decades, been a staple of the catering world. Sandwich platters have always been a wise choice when feeding people at large gatherings – sandwiches are universally liked and can cater to everyone’s taste. Whether for a corporate occasion, a birthday party or a social event, people have often relied on the sandwich platter to satisfy hungry guests.
However, in our modern times, with customers more concerned about their health than ever before and more educated on nutrition and dieting, simple sandwich platters have slowly begun to fall out of favour. These days, guests want to be able to pick gluten-free, vegan and health-balanced options, which many catering companies cannot match with their sandwich platter collections. This issue is further compounded by the notion that many catering companies will use cheap bread and ingredients while charging exorbitant fees.
The solution to this dilemma is Angie’s sandwich platters. Angie’s has sought to revolutionise the catering industry with our sensational sandwich-like platters, offering mouth-watering morsels that can appease even the pickiest of palettes. In this article, we will cover our unique spin on the standard sandwich platter and fill you in on exactly why Angie’s should be your go-to option for your next social gathering.
Reimagining The Humble Sandwich Platter
With Angie’s success as a café, we have learnt many things that we knew we had to translate to our catering company – which we are proud to say, makes us one of the most competitive and premium catering solutions in Chiswick. One of the most essential lessons we have incorporated into our catering company is the necessity to cater to the modern client. Stale sandwiches with cheap store-bought bread and bland fillings will not cut it with a more educated, more health-conscious collection of guests.
With this in mind, Angie’s has sought to reinvent sandwich platters and how we think of them. The core reason sandwich platters were popular in the past was that you could serve a variety of options while also providing food that was not messy and easy to handle. With our reinvented sandwich platters, we keep what made them so popular in the past while shaking up the “sandwich” formula, providing exciting new options that will help meet the standards of the modern client.
Why Use Bread?
The first thing you will notice if you visit our platters website is that we don’t rely on bread. For those trying to be more health conscious, bread can be problematic due to the high gluten content in most common loaves, with healthier low GI or gluten-free options not being as tasty.
Instead of sticking to bread, we use wraps instead. Wraps are an incredible alternative to bread for several reasons.
- Wraps offer an easy-to-eat option that meets the requirements that make sandwiches so popular.
- Wraps can be made from a wide variety of ingredients that offer healthy vegan and gluten-free alternatives to bread, while still being just as tasty. At Angie’s, we use beetroot and spinach wraps if our customers want a healthier choice.
- Wraps offer a modern twist to the traditional sandwich. They make a great substitution for bread and make an exciting change to the old formula, which will surely impress and delight your guests.
What Sets Angie’s Apart?
We look to differentiate ourselves from our competition by using out-of-the-ordinary ingredients and exciting flavour combinations. This is yet another crucial element we have integrated into our catering company that has made our café so popular since 2013.
How can we be so confident in our flavour combinations? One of the country’s most beloved chefs is in charge of our menus. Angie Steele has not only worked under some of the best Michelin-star chefs in the country, but she is also a recipient of many catering awards. This is one of the essential elements that sets Angie’s apart from the rest of the catering crowd. With such a competent leader (and an excellent chef) at the helm, you can rest assured that our deliverable platters are of the highest quality.
We are also committed to healthy solutions in regard to our sandwich platters. You will note that not only do we use a variety of wraps and pastries as substitutes for bread, but we also make use of raw ingredients. We are committed to keeping components raw and fresh to give you the healthiest, most nutritious sandwich platters possible.
Angie’s Platter Menu
We have discussed how Angie’s has sought to differentiate itself from our catering competition. However, simply mentioning how we seek to change up the sandwich platter formula is only partially convincing. What you really want to read about is the food options we offer here at Angie’s.
In this section, let us look at some of our favourite options available from our sandwich platter selections.
Wraps
As mentioned in the section above, at Angie’s, one of our favourite ways to modernise our sandwich platters is to substitute bread with wraps. Below, we have listed four of our favourite options. If you visit our website, we have many other delectable wrap options for you to choose from.
Coronation Chicken And Rocket Wrap: This is one of our favourite healthy wrap options, as the actual wrap is made from spinach. We elevate this wrap further by including coronation chicken and upping the flavour profile with elements like red onion marmalade, apricot jam and curry powder.
Hot Smoked Salmon Wrap: For many, beef, chicken or pork is not preferable. For those people, we have a great seafood option. Our hot smoked salmon is perfectly cooked and combined with a classic pairing of a creamy avo puree.
Rainbow Wrap: Certain guests may expect a healthy, tasty and meat-free option. Our answer to that call is our trendy rainbow wrap. The wrap is an eye-catching pink in colour, made from beetroot. The star of the rainbow wrap is its great coleslaw filling, with a combination of three different cabbages. The beetroot hummus offers a perfect variety to the crunch of this wrap. This tremendous vegetarian choice is sure to satisfy everyone.
Shredded Chicken Vietnamese Rice Paper Roll: Try our Vietnamese rice paper option for a perfect gluten-free platter that will be a big talking piece at your next event. With a fantastic chicken and coleslaw pairing as the filling, you will have a tasty, healthy, gluten-free option to serve your guests.
Tasty Pastries And Bread
Although we adore and promote our wrap options as the best in the catering market, we understand that some may not enjoy a wrap option or would prefer to have a variety of options to choose from on their sandwich platters. To meet our customer demands, our menu contains some other great bread and pastry options, which include:
Sausage Rolls With Tomato Chilli Jam: The sausage roll is one of the most popular quick meals in the United Kingdom today. At Angie’s, we elevate the humble sausage roll with a lovely herb and pork sausage, topped with our famous tomato chilli jam.
Falafel With Aubergine Puree: Chickpeas are both a healthy protein source and a great bread substitute. Our falafel is made with taste in mind and contains tasteful elements like chilli, cumin and cardamom. Combined with our smoky aubergine spread, you won’t be able to resist coming back for seconds.
Courgette And Gruyere Bread With Tomato Chilli Jam: This is another of our great vegetarian options. With homemade bread including mustard and cayenne, this is a substantial vegetarian option finished with gruyere cheese and our famous tomato chilli jam.
Skewer Options
Although our wraps, bread and sausage roll options form the core of our sandwich platters, the fun doesn’t stop there. To add a bit of variety to your presentation, we also offer delicious skewers too.
Chicken And Chorizo Skewer: This one is for the meat lovers attending your event. With our premium quality chicken and chorizo, this is sure to be a party favourite.
Teriyaki Salmon Skewer: We also cater to seafood lovers with our teriyaki salmon option. With a little bit of heat and fresh salmon, this is an excellent finger food for those who appreciate a taste of the ocean.
Vegetarian Skewer: With meat and seafood options out of the way, we also cater to our vegetarian clients. With a medley of Mediterranean vegetables like pepper, courgettes and aubergines, this will be an excellent addition to your vegetarian guest’s dining experience.
