With a team of 180 waiters and butlers and 120 meal creators, headed by 3 top management staff of the Seasons Catering and 6 professional managers including the Managing Director himself, was personally involved in the execution to ensure that the F&B experience remains superlative.

The buffet layout was an array of a wide range of cuisines from across the globe,– Purani Dilli, Special Biryani and Salaan Counters, authentic Awadhi cuisine layout, the famous Amritsari food, Live Kebab stations – a specialty the Jahajgarh ke Burra and Boti kebabs deserve a special mention, to name a few.

An Oriental buffet was laid out with traditional WOKs to display and present food, the classic Mediterranean buffet, Live Pasta station etc. A Teppanyaki counter with a choice of Veg and Non veg fillings was also part of the buffet layout.

The entire grandeur of the setup, the food, the décor, the layouts, the cuisines and the flavours was all brought to a grand finale with the Flambé coffees like Serpentine, Irish, Café Royale, Café Diablo and many more.

Sanjay Khullar, Vice Chairman,Seasons Group said, “The client was very clear on the fact that the guests must not, at any point, be reaching out to the counters, rather we as the caterers were to ensure that all esteemed guests were taken care of with a personal touch.”

Khullar also explained how since the dining area was not too big and a space restriction was there while setting up the live clay oven for the Indian breads. Therefore, Seasons had to device a way to ensure we could serve fresh Naans and Rotis for all our guests along with avoiding any delays or congestion around the area.

Seasons used the concept of Naan and Roti Hawkers, with string baskets around their necks to be on the move through the dining area to ensure each guest was served hot breads.
