What catering to order for International Women's Day

Breakfasts and teas

Our most common request from our customers is breakfast on International Women's Day.

Sweets, savouries, coffees and teas, we have plenty of options right across Australia so you can host the perfect meal at the beginning of the workday to celebrate the women in your office and all their achievements.

To step things up, why not make it a charitable breakfast too? Encourage gold coin donations in exchange for some fresh breakfast items and donate the proceeds to a charity, such as one focusing on women's rights or gender equality, that is important to your workplace.

We'd recommend:

A luxe lunch spread

Show appreciation and celebrate women's achievements at your company by hosting a special lunch for International Women's Day.

Whether a sit-down affair or a chance to mingle around grazing tables packed with cheese, meats and antipasto delights is best for your group, we're able to make it an unforgettable day.

Drinks and nibbles

International Women's Day falls on Wednesday this year, which means hosting a lunch session or after-hours talk with influential women leaders in your business, speakers chatting about how the first International Women's Day came to be, or just discussions about the importance of a gender equal world would be a great way to empower women in your workplace.

We always recommend having some nibbles and drinks available at events like these, which also offer a great opportunity for mingling before and after.
