Catering Ideas For Corporate Events

By: Peter Joness Home | Food-and-Drink


If you are plain any event for your office, the best thing to do is plan early and chooses a caterer with a few ideas in hand. Although many caterers have ready-to-go menus, most of them will work with you to ensure the food at the conference is a success. The type of food and the amount of help you will depend on the amount of people at the conference and whether the food is needed for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Corporate Catering Menu Ideas

A catering menu depends largely on the type of event you are holding. Different catering menus are appropriate for different times of the day and should be adapted to the formality of the event. Here are some ideas for catering menus.

Catering Breakfast Ideas

Breakfast can be a number of stuff in more verities. A variety of cereals in attractive dispensers with fresh, cold milk should be a staple. Trays of fresh, seasonal fruit are always well received. Scones, rolls, biscuits and toast should be served with an array of jellies and jams to top them. You can serve yogurt with a variety of toppings such as granola and dried fruits.

Your Breakfast will appear beautifully arranged in wicker baskets and platters. We can deliver on-site for your expediency and arrange to have all materials picked up at the end of your event. Make certain plenty of servers are present to refill coffee mugs on the floor. A banquet spread of fruits, juices, bagels, toast, muffins, butters and jams is a popular idea for these types of conferences. It is unlikely that businesspeople will want full main courses early in the morning.

For your Company Breakfast you can select a good Menu like: -

â€Cookies, muffins, coffee
â€Muffins, Bagels/cream cheese, coffee
â€Muffins, fresh fruit, juice
â€Assorted baked goods, fresh fruit,
â€Juices and Coffee

Catering Lunch ideas

Lunch will generally have a salad of some type, whether it is a standard salad. An array of deli meats and cheeses are always a hit at lunch time. You can again serve fresh fruits and cheeses, and a vegetable tray with some tasty dip is also a good idea. Desserts can include things like ice cream sundaes or small finger desserts. Make sure to include plenty of vegetable dishes for non-meat eaters, and have a variety of light chicken dishes as well. Pasta salads and a section for light cookies are also a good addition to a business lunch.

For your Company Lunch you can select a good Menu like: -

â€Meat & cheese platter with ham, roast beef, turkey, American and Swiss cheeses.
â€Assorted breads: onion kaiser, croissant and marble rye bread.
â€Served with a relish tray consisting of sliced tomatoes, lettuce and pickle spears.
â€Coleslaw and potato salad
â€Assorted cookie tray
â€Assorted sodas
â€Salad: tomato and mozzarella, basil and balsamic drizzle

Catering Dinner ideas

Dinner can be as proper or formal as you like. If it is going to be a buffet style, go for a variety of meats. Hot side dishes should be served along with a salad of some sort. Think all the colors of the rainbow. Make sure your catering menu does not only include yellow or green foods. The more colors your guests see, the more appealing the catering menu will be. Desserts at dinner are usually a little more elaborate and can be varied to suit your tastes.

For your Company Dinner you can select a good Menu like: -

â€Lemon greek salad
â€Chicken breast dijon
â€Confetti wild rice
â€Broccoli with mushrooms and thyme
â€Dinner roll and promise
â€Rocky road brownie
â€Beverage
â€Cold buffets sold ala carte
