The Meet & Eat Lunch - Last Minute Catering

Tell us what you can spend per person. We'll build a warm entrée around it.

Most catering works the other way round. You look at a price list, find something you can afford, and get whatever that dish is.

This is the opposite. You pick a tier — $25, $30 or $40 a person — and a chef builds a proper warm dish to fit it, using what's good that week and working around whatever anyone on your list can't eat.

Let's get the numbers straight first

The minimum order is 10 people, and the price is per person — so the minimum order totals are:

Nothing has gone wrong with the checkout — you're buying ten or more meals, not one. Order for twenty and it doubles.

What each tier buys you

• Low — one simple protein, built into a complete warm dish with rice, roast vegetables or mash to make it generous. A proper entrée at a genuinely sensible price.
• Medium — the same structure with a more generous protein portion and a little more going on
• High — a heartier cut, or a second component. The version you order when it's a client lunch rather than a staff one

The difference between the tiers is how generous it is, not how good it is. Every tier is a real dish made properly — the Low isn't a lesser version, it's a smaller one.

How a chef actually builds it

Every Meet & Eat is made by one of our chefs, to a set of rules they work to on every order:

• One warm, complete dish — protein, starch, vegetable and a sauce or garnish. Not a sandwich, not a snack, not a platter of cold things.
• Protein first. They build the dish around what's genuinely good that day — roast chicken, house pork, beef, or the vegan protein.
• Generous without being expensive. Cheap carbs and vegetables stretch the plate rather than the budget, so a $25 lunch still fills you up.
• In-house first. They cost against what's already in the kitchen and use what needs moving, which is how the price stays where it is.
• Allergens and preferences noted on the order ticket. Tell us in the notes and it's handled — no negotiation, no extra charge, no separate "dietary option."

Why order this

• It's the one to order when you've left it late. Not every item on our menu can be turned around at short notice — this is the one built for it.
• You set the budget. No comparing a price list against your manager's number. Pick the tier and it fits.
• It's warm food. For a winter site crew or a client lunch in February, a hot plate does something a sandwich platter can't.
• It's different every time. The dish changes with the week, so regulars don't get bored of it.
