Corporate Catering Ideas

Are you struggling to plan your next corporate lunch event? Are you confused about what kinds of meals you have to put in to satisfy everyone’s taste and dietary requirements? Then this blog might give you some ideas that you can plan to keep for your corporate lunch events.

When you are selecting dishes, you have to be careful to keep in mind the people attending the lunch event. As many people of diverse age groups attend the event, you have to include meals that all age groups prefer. For instance, senior persons may prefer salads with light meals and some others may prefer heavy meals with desserts.  

So, to satisfy everyone, try to include the best options that contain contemporary and traditional items that are inspired by the global menu. Here are the dishes that we think are the best to include in a corporate event.

Asian inspired dishes

Asian-inspired dishes are perfect for those who want to have a filling lunch. And most corporate people can’t say no to dishes like sushi combined with a veg platter with avocado and cucumber. If you want to include finger foods, you can think of chicken legs and chicken satay skewers. 

Italian dishes

You can also try Italian dishes like tortellini, lasagna and risotto made with veg or non-veg fillings and served with a dipping sauce. These dishes are tempting for anyone to have a taste and they still leave space in their tummy to try other food dishes. And add cold dishes like pesto chicken salad, semi-dried tomato, baked cheese, and baby spinach. Even if almost all dishes are finished, you can order Italian takeaway from nearby restaurants and can immediately fill the lunch table with beautiful food options. 

An array of salads

Anyone who is on diet or feeling unwell can rely on a variety of salads. An array of colourful and nutritious salads should be included in every corporate lunch event. From traditional options like creamy garden potato salad to contemporary salads like Asian chicken or roast pumpkin – salads can be the best dish to start a meal for almost everyone. 

Burgers and pizzas

Anyone who is in a hurry and can spare only a few minutes to participate in a corporate lunch can feast on burgers and pizzas. They are not only handy to eat but can be finished fast. People who have to attend urgent meetings can share a few bites of pizza and burgers while chatting and engaging with other people attending the lunch. And they can go on with their work without cancelling to attend the lunch event. 

Curries and bread

Bread and Indian bread like rotis are fun to eat with flavourful curries. Thai chicken and lamb korma are some of the popular curries that you can include in the corporate lunch. And as Indian curries are known for their spiciness, you can tell the caterers to lower the spice level so that everyone can enjoy their taste without burning their taste buds.

Sandwiches and wraps

No corporate lunch event is complete without sandwiches and wraps. You can cut sandwiches as finger food as well. As most employees are hungry during lunchtime, they can feast on sandwiches and wraps made with shredded chicken, smoked salmon, rare roast beef, etc. You can also include healthy options like lettuce and tomato. And to enhance taste, you can choose grained bread rolls, bagels, or garlic bread. Sandwiches are the perfect lunch option and look visually appealing with colourful fillings.

Vegetarian dishes

And for those who only eat vegetarian, start with creamy potato salad and lots of green salads mixed with mushrooms, corn, bell peppers, cheese and other fillings.

Be aware of the dishes that might cause allergic reactions to those who are sensitive. It’s better to keep the list of ingredients used so that people can be cautious of what they are eating. If possible, try to include allergy-free dishes in the corporate menu to satisfy everyone who is attending the lunch event. 

Planning a corporate lunch shouldn’t be too hard. When you plan what kind of meals you should eat so that everyone can enjoy, it’s easy for you to prepare the menu without getting nervous and confused. The above-mentioned options are not only filling but are also accepted by most corporate people. So plan your next corporate lunch with lots of fun dishes inspired by the global menu.
