10 Office Catering Ideas Your Team Will Love
Ordering the food is never the fun job. Get it wrong and everyone is polite about it, which is worse than complaining. Here are ten things people actually get up for, with real prices and what each one feeds.
The Short Answer
What should I order for an office lunch in Sydney?
If you want it simple, order one bento box per person at $20 to $26 each. If you want it to look good, order platters and budget $40 to $50 a head.
That is the whole decision. Everything below is detail.
We cater from our kitchen at 5/16-30 Bunn St, Pyrmont, which puts us minutes from Darling Harbour, Ultimo, Glebe and the Sydney CBD. Delivery is a flat $35 anywhere we service. Pickup is free. Orders need at least 3 days notice.
Idea One
Why are bento boxes the easiest office catering option?
Because there is nothing to serve. One box, one person, done.
No serving spoons, no queue, no working out who is allergic to what while forty people watch. Every box is a complete meal with your choice of base at no extra cost: vermicelli noodles with herbs and salad, garden salad, or rice and salad. All gluten free.
Vegetarian Tofu Bento Box, $20.00
Lemongrass Chicken Bento Box, $21.00
Roast Pork & Crackle Bento Box, $21.00
BBQ Chicken Bento Box, $22.00
Lemongrass Beef Bento Box, $22.00
Grilled Pork Chop Bento Box, $23.00
Tiger Prawn Bento Box, $23.00
Crispy Skin Chicken Bento Box, $25.00
Coconut Chicken Curry Bento Box, $25.00
Add a fried egg to any box for $3.00. Worth it.
Ideas Two and Three
What catering looks best on a table?
Rice paper rolls and mini banh mi. They photograph well and they disappear fast.
Rice paper rolls are the ones people reach for first, and ours was named #11 Dish in the World on the Urban Adventures Street Food 50 list. They are sold by count, not by tray.
Vegetarian Delight Rice Paper Rolls, 12 for $52.00, 25 for $107.50, 50 for $215.00
Grilled Chicken & Avocado Rice Paper Rolls, 12 for $56.50, 25 for $117.50, 50 for $235.00
Roast Pork + Apple Rice Paper Rolls, 12 for $56.50, 25 for $117.50, 50 for $235.00
Tiger Prawns Rice Paper Rolls, 12 for $58.00, 25 for $120.00, 50 for $240.00
Mini banh mi are the other crowd pleaser. Small versions of the sandwich The Urban List called one of Sydney’s best. 12 pieces for $102.00, 25 for $212.50, 50 for $425.00.
Both are eaten with one hand, which matters more than it sounds when people are standing up and talking.
Rice paper rolls. Named #11 Dish in the World, and the first thing to disappear off any table.
Idea Four
What is the best platter for a big team?
The Famous Roast Pork and Crackle Platter. It is the one people talk about afterwards.
Small feeds about 5 at $85.00, medium feeds 5 to 10 at $175.00, large feeds 10 to 20 at $350.00. Gluten free.
Other mains at the same price points: Lemongrass Beef Platter and Lemongrass Chicken Fillet Platter, both $85.00, $175.00 and $350.00. If you want to go up a level, the Garlic Tiger Prawns Platter is $96.00, $200.00 and $390.00.
One tip from doing a lot of these. Order one protein platter per 8 to 10 people and fill the rest of the table with sides. People take less of the expensive thing than you expect when there is plenty of everything else.
A spread built for a room, not a photo. Although it does photograph well.
Idea Five
How do I set up a build your own bowl bar?
One or two protein platters, then bases and salad on the side, and let people build their own.
Vermicelli Noodles Platter, $60.00 small, $120.00 medium, $180.00 large
Fried Rice Platter, $80.00 small, $160.00 medium, $240.00 large
Paw Paw Salad Platter, $80.00 small, $160.00 medium, $240.00 large
This is the best option when you have a mixed room. Vegetarians, gluten free, the person doing low carb this month and the person who eats everything all get a real meal out of the same table without a special order.
Ideas Six and Seven
What should I order for an afternoon meeting or a team drinks?
Finger food, sold by the piece, that nobody needs a plate for.
Rice Net Spring Rolls, vegetarian, 12 for $22.80, 25 for $47.50, 50 for $95.00
Rice Net Seafood Spring Rolls, 12 for $26.50, 25 for $55.00, 50 for $110.00
Salted Squid, 12 for $28.00, 25 for $58.00, 50 for $115.00
Chicken Wings, gluten free, 12 for $36.00, 25 for $75.00, 50 for $150.00
BBQ Chicken Skewers, 12 for $48.00, 25 for $100.00, 50 for $200.00
BBQ Pork Buns, 12 for $60.00, 25 for $125.00, 50 for $250.00
The rice net spring rolls are the value pick on the whole menu at $22.80 for a dozen. They are vegetarian, they look impressive, and nobody guesses what they cost.
Idea Eight
How do I cater for vegetarians and vegans without making it awkward?
Order the vegetarian options as part of the main spread, not as a separate sad tray in the corner.
Vegetarian Tofu Bento Box, $20.00, gluten free available
Vegetarian Spring Roll Bento Box, $20.00
Vegetarian Delight Rice Paper Rolls, 12 for $52.00
Vegetarian Tofu Salad & Vegan Chicken Rice Paper Rolls, 12 for $52.00
Rice Net Spring Rolls, vegetarian, 12 for $22.80
Vietnamese Herbs & Salad Platter, $70.00 small
Here is the thing nobody says out loud. Put the vegetarian rice paper rolls on the same table as everything else and the meat eaters will eat them too. Order more than you think you need for the vegetarians, or they will miss out entirely.
Ideas Nine and Ten
Is dessert and coffee worth adding to an office lunch?
Yes, and it is cheaper than people assume.
Banh Ran, 10 serves for $35.00, 20 for $70.00, 30 for $105.00
Coconut Jelly Cups, 10 serves for $50.00, 20 for $100.00, 30 for $150.00
Tofu Pudding, 10 serves for $50.00, 20 for $100.00, 30 for $150.00
Seasonal Fruit Salad, 10 serves for $100.00, 20 for $200.00, 30 for $300.00
Banh ran works out at $3.50 a serve, which is $35.00 for 10. Easiest yes on this whole page.
For coffee, the Vietnamese Cream Cloud Latte and the Vietnamese Jelly Coffee Latte are $9.00 each. Vietnamese coffee is strong. Order it for a 2pm meeting and watch the room change.
Before You Order
How far ahead do I need to book office catering?
At least 3 days. The roast pork is done fresh and some of it is slow cooked, so a big order is not something we can turn around the same morning.
Delivery is a flat $35 anywhere we service across Sydney. Pickup from Pyrmont is free.
If you are stuck for time, call us on (02) 9281 8882 and we will tell you straight whether we can do it. We would rather say no than send you something we rushed.
Who Is Cooking It
Who actually makes this food?
The recipes came from a grandmother in Can Tho, in southern Vietnam, who ran her own restaurant and who the family still talk about like a legend.
Her grandson was carried to Australia on a boat as a baby. In 2008 he quit an office job to sell Vietnamese street food, against the advice of nearly everyone, and sold the first property his mother had helped him buy to fund it. She backed him when nobody else did, and she died before the shop opened.
Great Aunty Three opened in 2011 and spent fifteen years on Enmore Road. Tiffany and her team run the kitchen now in Pyrmont.
We are telling you this because catering is usually faceless. Someone drops off trays and leaves. This is a family recipe being cooked at scale by the people it belongs to, which is a different thing. The full story is here.
Quick Answers
Common questions about office catering in Sydney
What is the easiest office catering option for a Sydney team?
Individual bento boxes. You order one per person, everyone gets a complete meal, and there is nothing to portion out on the day. At Great Aunty Three bento boxes are $20 to $26 each, or up to $29 with a fried egg added. No serving spoons, no queue, no arguing over the last piece.
How much does office catering cost per person in Sydney?
Budget about $20 to $26 a head for individual bento boxes, or roughly $40 to $50 a head if you want a shared spread of platters. Platters cost more per person but they look far better on a table and suit a room where people graze.
How many people does a catering platter feed?
A small tray feeds about 5 people, a medium tray feeds 5 to 10, and a large platter feeds 10 to 20. Rice paper rolls, mini banh mi and starters are sold by count instead: 12, 25 or 50 pieces. Desserts come in 10, 20 or 30 serves.
How much notice do you need for office catering?
At least 3 days. Some of it is slow cooked and the roast pork is done fresh, so we cannot turn a big order around same day. If you need something sooner, call us on (02) 9281 8882 and we will tell you honestly whether we can do it.
Do you deliver catering across Sydney?
Yes. Delivery is a flat $35 anywhere we service across Sydney from our Pyrmont kitchen. Pickup from 5/16-30 Bunn St, Pyrmont NSW 2009 is free. We are minutes from Darling Harbour, Ultimo, Glebe and the Sydney CBD.
Do you cater for vegetarian and vegan teams?
Yes, and not as an afterthought. The Vegetarian Tofu Bento Box is $20, Vegetarian Delight Rice Paper Rolls are $52 for 12, and the Vegetarian Tofu Salad and Vegan Chicken Rice Paper Rolls are also $52 for 12. Rice net spring rolls are vegetarian at $22.80 for 12. Tell us how many you need and we will build the order so nobody gets the sad plate.
Since 2011
Why order Vietnamese catering from Great Aunty Three?
We have been cooking Vietnamese street food in Sydney since 2011, including fifteen years on Enmore Road before we moved to Pyrmont. This is not a restaurant that added catering as a sideline.
