BOARDROOM CATERING

Boardroom dinners are one of the most formal corporate catering events that occur in the office, and therefore need to be managed professionally — which is where we come in. We know how important a formal dinner can be for your business, and pride ourselves on delivering one of Melbourne’s finest gourmet catering experiences — curated to suit your theme, location, and budget.

WHAT WE OFFER:

  • Premium dinner menus, offering a wide selection of delicious entrées, mains, and desserts

  • A personalised boardroom dinner menu to suit your budget, theme, and location

  • Carefully curated house-made recipes using fresh, quality, and seasonal ingredients

  • A wide variety of impressive meals to suit all dietary requirements

  • A dedicated events planner to look after all your event needs

  • High-quality and stylish equipment for hire

  • Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage delivery, as well as glass hire and ice

  • Professional and experienced wait and bar staff


THINGS TO CONSIDER:

  • Time and duration – this affects the type and quantity of food. For formal dinners, we recommend sticking to a clear schedule and factoring in delivery, plating, and service time

  • Size of event – how many guests are you catering for? What’s the gender ratio? (Male guests often have larger appetites.) Always overestimate your headcount to account for last-minute attendees

  • Budget – consider a per-attendee budget. We can tailor menus ranging from $10 to $100 per person

  • Purpose/theme – is this dinner for relationship-building or critical decision-making? Let us know so we can align the menu with your event goals

  • Seating – do you have enough dining tables and chairs? If not, we offer table and chair hire, plus premium linen tablecloths

  • Additional equipment – will you need crockery, coffee machines, silverware, etc.? Let us know what's available

  • Food warmers – if your event runs longer than two hours, a buffet warmer or oven may be essential

  • Staffing – do you need wait or bar staff? A function supervisor can streamline service and ensure everything runs smoothly

  • Alcoholic beverages – will they be served? What type suits your event?

  • Food & drink style – would your guests prefer sweet, savoury, or a mix of both?
