While you will have no doubt got all the technical details of your upcoming corporate event in hand, such as the venue, subject, and speakers, there are a few elements that can be overlooked that are no less important than the event itself.
But don’t worry, because your team can help ensure these things will be overlooked no more thanks to this guide, detailing handy hints we have picked up during our time catering for corporateevents.
Will your event be catered?
This might simply mean providing a delicious lunch. Or for events that start very early in the morning or end later in the evening, why not start and end your day with a shared meal, too?
At Spoilt for Choice, we have years of experience of catering for corporate events, so you can rest assured that we have got you covered, no matter how many meals you are catering for. We can even deliver your chosen freshly made food to the venue for you, at your chosen time, giving you one less thing to worry about on the day.
When is it best to promote the event?
Give people as much time as possible to fit your event into their schedules. Not only will this maximise the amount of people who can make your event, but it will also allow you to estimate the number of attendees sooner.
In doing so, you can more effectively plan multiple aspects of your event, such as seating, room setup and, of course, the catering for your corporate event.
What happens if people can’t come?
It is also important to remember that no matter how soon you invite people to the event, there will always be some people who drop out at the last minute – due to personal emergencies, diary clashes, or changed work schedules, for example. If you don’t plan for this, you might find that you’ve paid for more than you really need.
That said, with Spoilt for Choice, you only need to order your food at least 24 hours in advance of when you need it. When catering for a corporate event, this means you order exactly what you need, so you can minimise food (and money) wastage.
Is the event accessible?
Accessibility should be one of your main considerations when planning an event. This means considering things like the time of day it is hosted, having regular breaks, organising the room mindfully, and ensuring all entrances and exits are accessible.

In addition to this, it is important to remember to cater for those with allergies, intolerances, religious requirements, and health conditions. At Spoilt for Choice, catering for your corporate event can be tailored to suit gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, vegetarian, vegan, or Halal diets – simply let us know when you order.
