Arranging Office Catering? Here’re Some Tips…

If you’ve ever been stuck in a meeting with a platter of cold sandwiches and a bowl of soggy salad in the middle, you know that office catering often falls short. If you’ve been tasked with arranging your next team lunch and want to do something a little different, this article is for you.

Whether you’re organising an end-of-quarter work lunch, a big client meeting, or a full-blown office party, here are a few tips to help you nail office catering.

Challenge 1: Know Your Crowd

Sounds obvious, but it’s easy to forget: who’s actually going to be eating? You might have veggie, vegan and gluten-free colleagues, you’re going to have to cater to them all.

The best catering always feels inclusive, with plenty of menu options worked in so everyone can have a little bit of the things they love. At Street Food & More, we build our menus so that everyone feels looked after. Our office catering can include everything from bao buns to burrito bowls, tailored to suit a range of dietary requirements without losing any flavour punch.

Challenge 2: Think Beyond the Buffet

Office catering doesn’t have to mean room temperature sandwiches and pasta salads, you can bring more excitement than that. Why not consider something fun like live cooking stalls or freshly-made street food, right outside your building?

At Street Food & More, we can offer exciting and creative solutions, from Canapés and grazing boards to Mediterranean sharing dishes like beef ragu and Greek souvlaki. We bring flavour and fun to your office.

Challenge 3: Master the Timing

Whether your event is mid-morning or late afternoon, thinking about timing will help you decide what to serve on the day. Think about whether a full meal or light bites make more sense. You don’t want people falling asleep at their desks when 3 pm comes around.

Whether you need something ready at noon for a quick break between meetings or you want to create a leisurely feast towards the end of the day, we can work around your schedule.

Challenge 4: Create Something They’ll Remember

We’ve all had our share of sausage rolls, scotch eggs and cold pizza at office lunches. But food can be much more than this, it’s a way to bring people together. Show your employees that you appreciate them, or leave a lasting impression on a client you’re trying to win. With the right office catering, you can create something people will remember.
