From Pantry to Party: Transforming Office Spaces with Great Catering
Most office pantries weren’t built for celebration. Harsh lighting, small tables, and a fridge that’s older than your intern don’t exactly scream “party.” But when done right, even the simplest office spaces can become vibrant hubs for appreciation lunches, milestone celebrations, and year-end thank-yous—all with the right food and flow.
At Lavish, we specialise in turning everyday workspaces into memorable event zones with catering that’s beautifully styled, logistically sound, and—above all—delicious. Here’s how to make it happen in your pantry, meeting room, or open-plan workspace.
Know Your Format: Buffets vs. Bentos
Your first decision? Choose a format that fits your space and schedule.
Use a mini buffet when you want guests to mingle casually and pick their favourites.
Choose bento boxes for seated setups, back-to-back meetings, or multi-floor delivery.
For a quick appreciation treat, go with themed party boxes or a show-stopping dessert table.
Lavish helps you choose the best fit—based on your space, team size, and timing.
Make Space Without Moving Walls
You don’t need a ballroom—you just need smart layout. Lavish plans setups that:
Fit within pantry tables or counter space
Keep food flow separate from workstations
Use tiered styling to elevate visuals without taking more space
Position trays and warmers to avoid crowding or backflow
Need help visualising it? Our planners guide you through space use—even with just a floor plan or photos.
Style That Doesn’t Interrupt Work
“Office events should feel elevated—but not disruptive.”
Lavish provides sleek, modern styling that:
Matches your office branding or event colour
Feels premium without being over-the-top
Includes food signage, styling trays, and coordinated linens (upon request)
Keeps your space clean and professional post-event
Everything we deliver is halal-certified, visually polished, and designed for fast, fuss-free teardown.
Don’t Forget the Timing
In an office, timing is everything. Lavish helps schedule:
Delivery windows before breaks or lunches
Partial setup for staggered departments
Tidy removal or handover before your next meeting kicks in
Our delivery crew works discreetly and efficiently—because we know the boardroom’s in use at 2:00pm and you don’t want food smells lingering into Friday’s call.
Add a Little Wow (Without a Lot of Work)
Want to turn a standard lunch into something memorable? Consider:
A mini dessert table styled with your company colours
A one-hour live station for waffles, satay, or crepes
Customised bento sleeves or printed thank-you notes inside party boxes
Even small details go a long way in making your team feel appreciated.
Bring the Celebration to Your Workspace
You don’t need to book a hotel or leave the office to create a great event. With Lavish, your pantry becomes a party space, your boardroom becomes a buffet, and your colleagues become very, very happy.
