Why Corporate Catering Is Perfect in the Spring
Winters can feel long, dull, and slow, so surely Spring menus can feel like a welcome refresh. Treating your team to a delicious meal boosts morale, fuels energy for performance and spreads joy like the summer sun.
Here are some of the benefits of corporate catering this season:
- Lighter, more energized seasonal menus. We turn away from winter comfort foods like braised stews and pot pies to healthy Buddha bowls and barbecue menus.
- The city is starting to ramp up for the FIFA World Cup, and we’ve got amazing themed options for watch parties and celebrations.
- More incredible dining options for diets including vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free guests.
- Elevated platters and bountiful presentations for cocktail receptions and happy hours.
Popular Ideas for Spring Catering Events
Spring catering is more than just team lunches. There are lots of opportunities in the corporate workplace to celebrate with great food.
Some ideas for spring catering in the workplace include:

Not only should corporate catering menus be adapted to the time of year, but orders should also be tailored to your specific event. From grab-and-go lunches to full-service spreads, there are lots of ways to make your food offerings more memorable.
Spring Catering Fan Favourites
Spring is light and fun, and your menu should be too. Here are some crowd-pleasers that always work well in corporate catering settings:
Because they’re easy to eat and simple to serve, wraps and sandwich platters are always a great choice for a boardroom lunch. We make sure our sandwiches and wraps are a cut above the rest by using the freshest seasonal ingredients. Consider seasonal flavours like Spring chicken pesto, grilled veggies with creamy hummus or gourmet egg salad on our best-loved multigrain bread.
Lighter options suit spring perfectly, so consider a vibrant, colourful salad to pair with any main dish. From traditional Caesar and Greek salads to custom creations like our impressive buddha bowls, the options for healthy eating are abundant!
To keep it casual, grazing-style catering is both visually appealing and practical. Ideal for networking events or casual gatherings, some classic grazing options include charcuterie and cheese boards, vegetable trays with dips, and fruit presentations. For a more unique spread, try our themed platters, such as our Asian Sushi or Middle Eastern themed trays.
Just because the weather is getting warmer doesn’t mean your meals can’t stay hearty and satisfying! For large gatherings, hot lunches paired with fresh sides can be ideal. Some of our best-sellers include chicken souvlaki, butter chicken and fajitas. Our chefs also run a daily special to keep hot food lunch options exciting and diverse. We can also deliver fresh-cooked BBQ to whet the appetite for summer fun!
With morning meetings, workshops, or team events, brunch can be an ideal option to kickstart your office day. It’s a refreshing, light change from traditional lunch menus, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t appreciate a good brunch? Consider options here, such as assorted pastries, yogurt parfait cups, made-to-order omelets, fruit platters, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee and tea.
Tips for Spring Corporate Catering
- Order early: Spring is a busy season for corporate events, so to avoid stress and last-minute mishaps, place your order in advance. Most events can be accommodated with 5 business days’ notice or more.
- Formatting matters: Easy formats like platters and buffets work well for large groups.
- Timing: Plan to schedule your delivery with enough time for unloading and set-up. We will make recommendations based on group size and menu.
- Consider individual portions: This is especially important for busy agendas, as a grab-and-go style box saves time and makes working lunches a breeze.
Lean on the expertise of your event coordinator to recommend a style of service and cover the logistics and scheduling.
