Office Christmas party catering in Melbourne
For an office or work Christmas party, a savoury grazing table is the easiest way to feed everyone without a sit-down meal: cheeses, cured meats, dips, olives and more, arranged on your boardroom table or a trestle at your venue. We make it in our kitchen at 238 Flinders Street, set it up at your office up to 2 hours before you start, and size it to your headcount. Savoury tables run from 0.5 m to 6 m, with sizes in between:
- 0.5 m: up to 15 guests
- 1 m: up to 35 guests
- 2 m: up to 55 guests
- 3 m: up to 75 guests
- 4 m: up to 120 guests
- 6 m: up to 180 guests
- Add canapés (minimum 30 pieces) for a longer party, or sandwiches and wraps for a lunch. A sweet grazing table comes in the same sizes if you want dessert.
- Dietary needs: gluten free, dairy free, nut free, vegan and vegetarian options are available on request for tables, canapés and boxes. Tell us the numbers and any allergies when you enquire and we plan around them.
- Feeding a team of 10 or fewer? Grazing boxes feed 2 to 6 people each; see our office grazing boxes.
