BBQ style- Some people (men) will make a burger and eat it with there hands, while other people(women) prefer to sit with a plate and cutlery. A good idea to allow tables and chairs for this.

Formal- Everyone sits and eats at the same time (eg wedding), each guest requires a setting. Buffet style or served to the table.
