Pirate Party Food

If you want some great ideas for pirate party food, then look no further, we have some great authentic child-friendly suggestions!
When real pirates were on the seas for weeks on end, they did not get a three-course menu every day, they usually had to get used to bread soup or fish, with dried fruits and foul water or beer/rum to drink. Fortunately, you can give your children something slightly better to eat! Here are some ideas for your pirate party ....
  • The Pirate Party Food
    Fish fingers, Chicken legs or drumsticks......Hot Dogs (you can attach pirate sails to these to make them look like boats), watery soup....bread with cheese or jam... tuna sandwiches....
  • Eating Manners
    Pirates never used knives and forks....let the children eat with their hands... don't expect them to sit neatly at the table either... a rug on the floor, or outside on some grass will suit them just fine!
  • Pirate Drinks
    Horribly normal water (or get a flavoured version!).... children's ginger beer.... children's punch (made from fruit juices), grape juice (to look like wine). Always best to stay clear of fizzy drinks as children will be excited enough!!
  • Pirate Tableware
    Use paper plates and cups (see our pirate themed tableware selection in our store) or for a more authentic look, use empty coconut shells for drinks. We also sell pirate flag picks and sword picks, which are great for standing in sandwiches or use as cocktail sticks.
