A few delicious ways to spruce up your next boardroom catering Sydney gig

There seems to be several unwritten rules for boardroom catering in Sydney. In all our years of providing exceedingly delicious experiences for our clients, we’re quite confident to say that we’ve heard them all – and then some. We’ve heard the debates between buffets and plated variants of boardroom catering, which meat reflects the best tone for a meeting, even the various beverage pairings and etiquette come up on occasion.

While there are kernels of truth hidden away in all of them, the heart of our approach to corporate catering in Sydney remains crystal clear – every occasion requires its own set of rules. What works for one event may not necessarily work for another, and we’ve adopted this methodology and allowed it to envelop every function we take on.

This leads us to today’s blog piece – while the rules often change for each event, there are some foundational considerations that you can take on for your next big event with us that’ll exceed expectations of your colleagues. Think of them as a few useful commonalities we’ve established from years of experience that you can take into consideration when organising your next corporate catering event in Sydney.

Why boardroom catering Sydney demands expertise

Corporate catering in Sydney is more than just delivering food—it’s about creating an experience that aligns with your company’s values and goals. Whether you’re hosting a quarterly meeting, pitching to potential investors, or celebrating a milestone, the quality of your catering reflects directly on your organisation. That’s why it’s essential to work with professionals who understand the nuances of boardroom catering.

As diets become more nuanced and subtle as time goes on, it should go without saying that a delectable occasion should be accessible to everyone. We caught onto this early in our tenure and our executive chefs have worked tirelessly to craft menus across the board that reflect the unique requirements and sensitivities that are bound to pop up in your workplace.

Our corporate catering menu encompasses all facets of culinary delight as well as maintaining a stringent focus on having something for everyone, from Vegans to those with Gluten intolerances. Boardwalk Catering is client-focused and thrives on a new challenge, so if you have any queries or requests about certain dietary requirements, get in touch with us and we’ll try to find a way.

#1 Tailor the menu to your audience

If there is one thing that we have learned in our years of providing boardroom catering to Sydney workplaces, it’s that everyone has a preference. Is that a bad thing? Absolutely not. In fact, we love how passionate people are about the food they love!

So, if you’re left in charge of the next few corporate lunches and are struggling to decide on a cuisine that satisfies everyone – we’d humbly suggest that you don’t have to be restricted to a singular style.

Canapes are becoming more popular, decadent, and diverse by the day! And so are live food stations. Take a look at our completely redesigned menus here.

In the end, having a spread of Vegan Paella, Fresh Chicken Sliders, with a side of Tender Duck Pancakes available allows everyone to experience a taste-bud-transforming experience. 

Boardwalk Catering is the premier corporate catering company of Sydney for a number of reasons; one is our flexibility and instinctual desire to provide an experience like no other. You don’t have to have a black-tie sit-down boardroom catering experience to make an impression, having a little of a lot can impress more than you think. Contact Boardwalk Catering for a quote!

#2 Enrich the experience with gourmet food stations

Live food stations are a dynamic and interactive way to serve meals – which, in our experience, can add that touch of creativity and sophistication to your corporate lunch. I’m thinking… a live pasta station where chefs craft dishes to order or a sushi bar that showcases artistry in every roll. These boardroom catering options not only satisfy appetites but also act as conversation starters.

#3 Timing is everything

Boardroom catering Sydney isn’t just about the food; it’s about when and how it’s served. In boardroom settings, timing is critical. You want meals or snacks to be served seamlessly, avoiding interruptions while keeping energy levels high. A professional corporate caterer will coordinate with your schedule so that service goes down without a hitch from start to finish.
