Sliders vs burgers

Everyone loves a burger but have you ever tried eating one at a networking event, standing up, wearing a white shirt, with a drink in your other hand? Burgers are an icon, but sliders are the smarter choice. For corporate events, they are the kind of catering option that truly fits the occasion and the way people interact.

Why are sliders different?

A slider is not just a smaller burger. It’s a completely different dining experience, and that difference matters more at corporate events than you might think.

Size
No cutting required. Guests can comfortably eat while standing, chatting, or moving between groups. Nothing interrupts the flow of the event.

Variety
Because sliders are smaller, you can offer three or four different options on the same table. Pulled pork, pulled beef, chicken, or even a vegetarian cheese version there’s something for everyone.

Presentation
A tray full of sliders simply looks fantastic. It’s the kind of food that makes people stop for a moment and take a photo before taking a bite. That element of surprise and delight becomes part of the overall experience.

No Mess
Sliders are far easier and more elegant to eat than a traditional burger. No dripping sauces or excess grease. A lightly toasted bun and juicy meat make them the perfect choice for your event.

When do sliders shine the most?

Not every event calls for the same type of food. Here are the occasions where sliders truly excel:

Networking Events & Receptions
Guests are standing, moving around, and meeting new people. Sliders allow them to eat without interrupting conversations.

Summer Garden Parties
Served on wooden boards alongside seasonal salads and homemade lemonade, sliders are the definition of relaxed summer catering. Light enough for warm weather, yet satisfying enough to keep everyone happy.

Team Lunches & Casual Fridays
When you want something a little more exciting than the usual menu, sliders bring fresh energy to the table.

Evening Events & Celebrations
Paired with sides, sauces, and drinks, sliders become the centerpiece of the table rather than just another menu item.

Our Pulled Meat Sliders

At Catermat, our sliders are built around slow-cooked meat prepared at a low temperature for hours until it becomes perfectly tender and easy to pull apart. Packed with flavor and served in a soft bun with the right sauce, nothing unnecessary, just great ingredients.

It’s the kind of food people come back for a second and even a third time.

Looking for something new? We recommend serving our sliders with fresh coleslaw for the perfect combination.

Available from 20 portions.
