Let's face it, not every work party this holiday season can be a Christmas BBQ; plus, there's nothing worse than having to delegate someone from the office to slave over all that hot food as your private chef in Australia's Summer. That's why Christmas catering is such an awesome option for corporate events or business events because it helps you easily achieve that festive atmosphere and provides a variety of options for lunch or dinner that everyone can enjoy. Our clients find it one of the best ways to bring together their co-workers, friends and family as a way to show appreciation for employees' hard work throughout the year.
Let's face it, most of us are not five-star chefs and preparing finger food, or regular dishes you might make for your family at home, might not cut it. That's where catering can come in and save Christmas day; okay, we know it's probably not on Christmas day, but you get the idea.
There are loads of Christmas catering options out there, and even more people with dietary and allergy requirements, so it is important to choose one that will suit the needs of your event. To give you the best idea of how to throw your next office Christmas party, here are eight of the best corporate Christmas party catering options from our Christmas catering menu. If you're interested in ordering your catering from us, we deliver our menus to both Sydney and Melbourne, but without further ado, let's jump in.
Catering Menu:
The Ultimate Christmas Feast
A gourmet Christmas lunch or dinner like this is our most luxurious catering option we have that is perfect for large business events that not only want to impress their guests but make sure everyone gets fed! It includes a range of delicious Christmas-themed dishes, such as roast turkey, glazed ham, and fresh seafood. This menu is jam-packed with chef-made catering. There are also several different types of salads and desserts to choose from, ensuring that everyone will find something they enjoy.
Traditional Christmas Feast
This catering package is a lot more suited to smaller businesses or even the family! It's your traditional Christmas lunch and is a classic catering option that is perfect for corporate events. It typically includes an iconic glazed ham, truffle mac and cheese, roasted pumpkin, stuffed turkey, alongside delectable dressings and a pavlova dessert. This type of lunch can be served buffet-style or sit-down, and you didn't need to cook a thing, score!
Seafood Christmas Feast
A seafood Christmas feast is a unique catering option that is perfect for corporate events that want to impress their guests. It includes a variety of seafood dishes, such as Western Australian lobster, blue swimmer crab, pacific oysters, king prawns, Balmain bugs, Alaskan crab legs, baked Atlantic salmon with dill yoghurt, herbs, pomegranate & pinenut salad. Of course, we can't forget the best part of a seafood platter, the sauce! In this platter, you'll get tabasco sauce, mignonette sauce, cocktail sauce and lemon wedges. There are also two different types of salads to serve and a delicious pavlova dessert to tantalise your guests, ensuring that there will be more than enough food for everyone to enjoy.
Mini Quiche Platter
A finger food lunch is a great option for corporate Christmas parties because it is easy to eat and can be enjoyed without sitting down or dirtying any dishes. Mini quiche platters like these are a great option for corporate Christmas parties because they can be tailored to everyone's dietary requirements, a common issue faced when planning workplace celebrations. They come in both vegetarian and gluten-free options, ensuring that no one has to miss out on the festivities. This delectable platter of tasty hot quiches come in three fanciful flavours you'd expect to find in the menu of a private chef; spice roasted cauliflower with pea puree & provolone cheese, smoked trout with confit heirloom tomatoes & crème fraiche and our favourite prosciutto, kale & ricotta with piment d'espelette.
Christmas Slaw with Raisins, Cranberries & Crispy Bacon
Salads are something we often forget to serve to guests when planning a large party, but including a fresh, crunchy and healthy side like our Christmas Slaw with Raisins, Cranberries & Crispy Bacon is an awesome, low-gluten option if you're looking to add something a bit more gourmet and healthy to your existing platters and party foods.
Watermelon, Cucumber & Feta Salad
There's nothing more iconic than enjoying juicy, fresh watermelon at a festive feast. Our watermelon, cucumber and feta salad is chopped into tastefully creative and equally festive snowflakes topped with leafy greens. Not only is this salad a refreshing side to add to your meal but will cater to co-workers that may have special dietary requirements as it can be prepared to be suitable for those who are vegetarian, dairy free and low gluten.
DIY Pavlova
A DIY pavlova bar is a fun and unique catering option that is perfect for corporate Christmas parties. Our tantalising kit includes a selection of fresh fruits like cherries, passionfruit, mango, mint, and seasonal mixed berries. We provide you with the pavlova base and whipped cream to top with so that the host or guests can create their own pavlovas. This is a great option for parties that want to provide an interactive element to the party planning experience.
