How to celebrate Chinese New Year in style

⚡ Key Takeaways

  • Celebrate Chinese New Year with your guests by serving authentic Asian cuisine from a Noodle Box Street Van that caters to all dietary requirements and tastes.
  • Create a memorable moment by giving each guest a red and gold paper lantern to write their New Year resolutions on before releasing them together.
  • Set up a craft station where children and adults can make homemade decorations in traditional red and gold colours to take home as keepsakes.
  • Replace traditional red envelope money gifts with party favours containing golden chocolate coins presented in envelopes for a fun twist on the custom.
  • Hire traditional entertainment such as a ceremonial red dragon puppet or dancers to teach your guests moves and bring authentic cultural atmosphere to your event.

Often ignored after the madness of Christmas and New Year, Chinese New Year is a great time to get together and celebrate the first weeks of the new year.

Have a look at our must-haves for planning your upcoming, unforgettable Asian adventure.


What can we serve?


The biggest tradition of Chinese New Year is the sharing of a special meal, so no celebration would be complete without some sumptuous Asian delicacies. Hiring a Noodle Box Street Van is the perfect way to conjure up the atmosphere of a bustling street in Beijing. With a wide range of dishes for all tastes and dietary requirements, everybody will be able to discover their favourite taste of the far east.


Lets fly away


chinese-lanterns

An extra special touch for your party would be the decoration and release of traditional red and gold paper lanterns. Why not make your event even more memorable by giving all your guests their own lantern, a pen and a challenge to write, share and release their resolutions for the upcoming year?


Traditions for the whole family


chinese-decorations

Homemade decorations are an important part of welcoming the Chinese New Year and families often sit together to create something truly special in ceremonial red and gold hues. Why not set up a station where children and adults alike can create something to hang in their homes as a reminder of your festivities. Another lucky tradition is to present loved ones with red envelopes of money, so, as an alternative why not consider giving party favours in envelopes containing golden chocolate coins instead?


Entertainment


Along with the crafts and creativity which a Chinese New Year party encourages, it can be nice to have some traditional entertainment. Why not entertain your guests with a ceremonial red dragon puppet or some traditional dancers to teach everyone a few moves?

A Chinese New Year party is a great way to surpass the January blues, and using street food van hire is the perfect, stress-free way to start your planning today.

    KK Catering hosted a corporate event for us today in Birmingham (100 people). We opted for the World Cup Burger Van, they were the most reasonable quote we had from anywhere and having used others before these were by the far the best … More we have used. Burgers and chips were both amazing, so fresh and tasty. No one was kept waiting either. The 2 guys serving were great too and an asset to the KK catering team. We will 100% use these guys again.
