Full catering for a company party in Lisbon means one supplier for the whole food and drink operation: menu, cooking, equipment, tableware, bar, waiting staff, setup and clearing. You give us the venue, the headcount, the timing and the budget, and we handle everything from the load-in to the last box going back on the van. We do this for Christmas parties, anniversaries, summer gatherings and internal conferences.
We visit or review the venue, check kitchen access, power, water, lift dimensions and where staff can work out of sight. From that we produce a timing plan: when we arrive, when the food goes out, how the evening moves from welcome drinks to dinner or buffet to dessert and coffee. If the party includes speeches or an award, we plan the service around them so no one is chewing through the CEO's thank-you.
A standing reception with canapés keeps people mixing and suits large numbers in a tight space. A buffet works when the group is mixed and you want people to sit and eat properly. A seated served dinner suits smaller, more formal evenings — anniversaries, client dinners, board gatherings. We often combine them: reception on arrival, buffet later, dessert and coffee at the end.
With fifty or a hundred colleagues you will have vegetarians, vegans, coeliacs, people avoiding pork and people avoiding alcohol. We label every dish clearly and plan the vegetarian and gluten-free options as real dishes on the main line rather than a sad plate in the corner. Send us the requirements a week ahead and no one has to negotiate with a waiter in front of their colleagues.
Yes — we work in offices with almost no kitchen by preparing off-site and bringing our own heating and serving equipment; we just need power and a service area.
We can suggest venues in and around Lisbon that we have worked in and know the practical limits of, and coordinate directly with their management once you have chosen.
Tell us the date, the number of guests and the style — we'll send a tailored proposal.
