There are plenty of options to choose from, so make sure you tailor the food choice to your guests and the type of party you’re throwing. When planning an office event start by considering how many people will attend and what space you have available for your event. Once you have all this figured out, take a look at our top five food options below.
A 3-course dinner
The office Christmas party is a great opportunity to get all your team together for a meal and spend some time together, and although it’s probably not the first catering option that springs to mind, a 3-course dinner might just be the perfect Christmas meal for your employees.
Palm Greens offers three course dinner menus with an onsite chef. The dinner includes a starter, main course and dessert. Some of our favourites are the roast cauliflower with cascabel tahini, baked celeriac, sweet potato and miso glazed roast onion and pear tart with pear cream filling.
If you’re planning a more relaxed event, where everyone can come and go as they please, you can consider ordering sharing platters. They are perfect for an evening party, as well as Christmas-themed lunch or afternoon tea.
