MamaVera caters company party buffets in Oeiras — end-of-year dinners, team celebrations, product launches and summer parties for offices across the business parks and along the river. A buffet keeps a mixed group of colleagues moving and mixing, which is usually the point of the evening. We quote in writing, invoice to the company, and bring the equipment, tableware and staff with us.
Company groups are the most varied we cater for, so the buffet is built to cover everyone without special-casing anyone at the door. Two hot dishes — typically one meat or fish, one substantial vegetarian — plus roasted vegetables, grains, salads and breads, opened with canapés while people arrive. Vegan, gluten-free and pork-free options are on the same table and labelled. We can add a Portuguese-leaning or a Slavic-leaning section if you want the menu to say something about the team.
We cater in offices in Lagoas Park and Taguspark, in hired rooms and quintas around Oeiras and Paço de Arcos, and on terraces looking over the Tagus. Most of these spaces have no catering kitchen, which is normal for us: we prepare off site and arrive with our own heating and serving equipment. If access, parking or a service lift is complicated, tell us at booking and we plan the load-in around it.
For company parties we generally recommend staffed service rather than drop-off — someone needs to keep the table replenished and clear while everyone else is enjoying the evening. Our team arrives well ahead of the first guest, runs the buffet across the agreed hours, and packs down after the last speech. You get one point of contact from the first quote to the invoice.
Yes — we scale from small team dinners to parties of well over a hundred, adjusting the number of serving stations so queues do not build up.
We issue a written quote in advance and invoice against your company details with the applicable VAT, so it goes through your accounts without extra chasing.
Tell us the date, the number of guests and the style — we'll send a tailored proposal.
