Corporate Lunches Done Right: Stress-Free, Seasonal, and Delicious

Planning a team lunch or corporate catering event can feel like juggling chainsaws: dietary needs, portion sizes, timing, and budget all need to line up. That’s where Vicky’s Kitchen comes in — pre-portioned, plant-focused, seasonal platters that arrive ready to serve. No fuss, no panic.

Why Platters Work

• Sharing and feasting: Everyone can help themselves, creating a communal, relaxed vibe.
• Pre-portioned: All platters are sized for the number of people you’re feeding - no guesswork needed.
• Flexible timing: Deliver first thing in the morning and serve whenever suits your team.
• Seasonal, sustainable ingredients: Fresh, local produce changes with the seasons, making your corporate lunch catering eco-friendly and interesting.

Examples of Platters

• Heirloom tomato & white bean salad
• Hummus & broccoli platters
• Summery potato salad with responsibly sourced salmon and fresh greens
• Thai Larb Rice Salad with tofu or pork, paired with a spicy cucumber salad

Timing and Planning

• Book at least a week in advance for smooth delivery and seasonal produce.
• Platters can stay chilled until ready to serve - perfect for flexible lunch timings.
• All dietary requirements covered: plant-first options make catering for mixed diets simple.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Waiting until the last minute - this usually means uninspiring supermarket sandwiches.
• Trying to please everyone - trust your instincts and focus on quality, seasonal dishes.
• Overcomplicating portion choices - platters come ready to feed the group, no guesswork.

Justification to Management

High-quality, seasonal platters show care for staff and clients without a huge budget. They’re healthier than standard options, demonstrate sustainable choices, and make a real impact with minimal effort - perfect for team lunches in Norwich or any corporate event.
