Outdoor Events in the Rainy Season: How to Keep Your Catering on Track

Gardens, school compounds and open grounds make wonderful venues. But in the rainy season, a sudden downpour can disrupt an event that is not prepared for it.

Plan for rain, even if the sky is clear

Assume it may rain and plan accordingly. It is easier to remove a tent than to find one at the last minute.

Get the right tents

Book tents for guests and for the serving area. Food stations should be fully covered and protected from wind and splashing.

Think about the ground

Wet ground becomes muddy quickly. Choose higher, well-drained areas for tents and serving, and consider flooring or mats.

Keep food safe and warm

Rain and wind cool food quickly. Covered chafing dishes and sheltered serving areas keep meals hot and hygienic.

Protect power and equipment

Keep generators, cables and electrical equipment dry and away from walkways.

Have a timing plan

If heavy rain arrives, be ready to adjust the programme. Your caterer can hold food safely and serve when guests are settled.
