How to Select the Best Menu for Your Next Corporate Function

As much as everyone loves that place around the corner, we can almost guarantee a hot lunch in the boardroom or a few sweet treats are a welcome change in the office. Whether you have an upcoming lunch-hour meeting, team-building exercise, or annual staff party to plan for, it’s the perfect excuse to surprise your team in the office (or out!) with a delicious meal.

From early morning meetings to office soirées, here are some of our favourite catering options for corporate functions of all types.

For Early Morning Meetings: Breakfast Bowls

Early morning meetings are no fun for anyone, but starting the morning with a few hot breakfast bowls might be just what is needed to turn the day around. A mix of roasted potatoes, free-range scrambled eggs, grilled veggies, and more, this is just the type of hearty breakfast you’ll want your team to fill up on to get those brain juices flowing. Add a few breakfast pastries for a side of extra happiness, or include a fresh fruit platter to keep things healthy.

For Team Lunches: Hot Boardroom Stations

Team lunches are our favourite way to celebrate the week’s wins and our build-your-own “hot boardroom” stations are a simple way to have hot and ready options right when hunger strikes. From DIY chicken taco bowls to cauliflower butter ‘chicken’, stepping away from your desk and into a room filled with hot food is always a good time. Don’t forget to add a few side salads or soups to share!

For Holiday Staff Parties: Turkey Buffet

The perfect way to get in the festive spirit with your work family! If a full sit-down meal is on the office party wishlist, celebrate this special time of the year with a holiday turkey buffet. Delivered hot to your office, this year’s turkey buffet includes slow roasted turkey breast, caramelized butternut squash stuffing, maple-glazed baby carrots, roasted brussels sprouts with crispy fried onions, wildflower honey-roasted beets, citrus cranberry sauce and classic gravy.

For Stand-up Soirées: Canapé Plates & Platters

Level up from a casual office party to a fun stand-up soirée with a few canapés. Seafood platters, charcuterie, and cheese boards are ideal for in-office parties, while passed seasonal canapés can majorly elevate the event. Now, all that’s left to do is pop open a bottle of bubbly and enjoy!

Not To Be Forgotten: Holiday Sweets

Lastly, one must never forget about dessert. For a perfect finish, add a selection of holiday sweets or macarons to any menu. From sugar cookies to pumpkin tarts, a few sweet treats are just what is needed to cap off a perfect meal.

Whether it’s a formal event or a casual office lunch, the right menu can make all the difference. Get in touch with our team and we’ll help you select the perfect menu for your corporate function.
