What types of corporate events do we cater for?
Cocktail parties with plenty of canapés
Grazing tables, hot and cold finger foods and plenty of free-flowing drinks can make a good cocktail party. But what makes them great is having everything be the best quality.
Company off-sites
Our services don't stop at your workplace. We know some of the best thinking is done outside of the office, and we want to make sure to fuel your offsite meetings with the best.
Our corporate catering delivery partners can bring your food to wherever you're hosting your event in the city.
Corporate barbecues
Aussies love a good barbecue and we love planning them. We can supply quality sausages, skewers, steaks and just about anything else you'd like to throw onto the grill.
And of course, we know it's not just about what goes onto the BBQ, but what's being served on the side. Salads, sides, dips, and drinks are also in our repertoire
Picnics
We're lucky enough to have some pretty great weather here in Australia, and getting out of the office for a chic picnic is a lovely way to have a company social event without it needing to cost a lot.
From grazing boards to salads to ice-cold drinks, we can assist with all your picnic snacks. If you're also in need of tables, cutlery and crockery since you'll be outside of the office, we can sort that all for you too. All you'll need to do is show up at the park!
Boat parties
There's just something about a boat that screams celebration, and we want it to be the best celebration it can be.
Whether it's an end-of-year party, a company milestone or just a networking event, we can ensure the catering on your boat is top notch. Thanks to our 100% on-time delivery guarantee, you can rest assured all food and drink is delivered on time for your boats departure.
Need waitstaff to work onboard? We can sort that too!
Sit-down dinners
It could be an annual awards night, it could be a formal end-of-financial year soirée or anything in between.
Once you have the venue chosen, a multi-course meal with professional service can easily be accommodated for by our team. We're even able to help with wait staff, cutlery and dishes, too.
Full-day conferences
From breakfast (including coffee, of course) to morning tea to lunch to afternoon tea to end-of-day drinks... Does anyone do anything at conferences but eat?
Whether you're after buffet-style meals, individual meal boxes or table service, we can help.
Dine on nothing but the best corporate event catering
With more than 1,000 catering connections across Australia, we have corporate events covered in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra.
All of our suppliers are both vetted from us and by our customers via reviews. To get the best of the best, feel free to sort our marketplace results by ratings to see all the five-star suppliers at the top of the list.
We've got catering options for all dietary requirements
Whether it's a mandatory conference, a company milestone or a monthly office birthday celebration, we want the entire team to be able to enjoy the food at your event.
That's why we offer a host of options that cater to special diets, such as those who are vegetarian, vegan, dairy and gluten free.
Sticking to a tight budget? Not a problem!
We're well versed in matching menus to budgets, so whether you're pinching pennies or have a bottomless budget, we'll be able to find a catering option that's perfect for you.

How much lead time do I need to provide you for my event?
As these functions can be complex and require a number of suppliers and caterers, we recommend 7-10 days notice is given. However, we will do our best and work with as much lead time as you are able to provide.
How much alcohol should I order for my event?
We recommend basing your alcoholic beverage consumption on roughly 3 drinks per person for the first hour and then 2 drinks per person for each hour after that.
Your guests will also appreciate non-alcoholic beverages, including mineral water, soft drinks and juice. Beverage selection for events should consist of a combination of beer (full strength and light), white wine, red wine, sparkling wine, sparkling mineral water, and a selection of soft drinks and juices.
The most popular wines to serve are:
- White: Sauvignon Blanc
- Red: Cabernet Sauvignon
Note: You can get approximately 6 glasses of wine out of a standard sized wine bottle. 24 bottles of beer come in a case.
Our corporate functions and events team will be able to provide you with more details and recommend a corporate drinks package that suits your needs and budget. Simply give us a call on 1300 851 900 or email orders@eatfirst.com.au to get started.
