Blast Catering, the UAE’s trusted provider of corporate catering solutions, has introduced a Gala Dinner Service designed to co-create spectacular events that leave lasting impressions. From elegant sit-down dinners to canapé receptions and thoughtfully curated beverage options, the new offering promises impeccable taste and seamless service for events with over 100 guests.
This initiative was inspired by the remarkable success of Dish Catering’s gala events, which highlighted a strong demand for high-end, expertly curated experiences. Recognising an underserved market for scalable, corporate gala catering services, Blast has expanded its offerings to meet the needs of businesses looking for turnkey, seamlessly executed gala events.
Each package offers a high level of flexibility, with a variety of options to suit different themes and dietary requirements, including vegetarian selections. A dedicated event coordinator oversees every detail, ensuring a smooth and sophisticated experience from start to finish. Additional enhancements such as extended canapé service, event staffing, and décor consultation are also available.
Each gala package delivers world-class cuisine, impeccable service, and sophisticated presentation. The offerings include:
● Sit-Down Service (AED 250/person): Guests enjoy a gourmet three-course meal served by a professional waitstaff. Packages include cutlery, tableware, bread & butter service, and delivery across Dubai. Choose from curated entrées, mains, and desserts such as braised short rib, Middle Eastern pressed lamb, pan-seared seabass, and indulgent desserts like sticky toffee pudding or passionfruit cheesecake.
● Canapé Pass-Around (from AED 70/person): Perfect for mingling or a stylish prelude to a sit-down dinner. Select from an enticing menu of hot, cold, and dessert canapés, including wagyu sliders, tuna crudo, and raspberry cheesecake.
● Beverage Service (from AED 20/person): A selection of refreshing beverages, mocktails, juices, soft drinks, teas, and coffees served with premium glassware and dedicated staff. Ideal as an add-on for any food package.
“The success of gala events executed by Dish highlighted a clear market opportunity — a demand for premium, large-scale corporate catering that wasn’t being fully addressed,” said Cory McLeod, Director – Sales & Events of Foodie Holdings, “This new offering is a strategic expansion that allows us to meet that demand with the same operational excellence, culinary expertise, and service quality that define our brand.”
