Fortress Sydney kept things moving at Chippendale with a delivery built around one clear idea: enough food to keep a large group fed without anyone waiting around. The sandwich, wrap and baguette platter came in quantity, thirty in total, and that kind of volume tends to anchor a lunch like this. People can grab and go without hovering over a table.

Alongside that, the rice paper rolls and sushi platters covered the lighter side of things without doubling up on anything. The Signature Chicken and Beef Rice Paper Rolls sat well next to the Mixed Favourites Sushi, giving people two distinct options that did not overlap in flavour or texture.

The salad platters filled out the rest of the table. Mediterranean Chicken, Chicken Caesar, Crunchy Chicken Fattoush and the Vegan Falafel with Beetroot Tahini meant the order held up for guests with different preferences without needing to be explained. The falafel platter in particular tends to disappear quickly in a mixed crowd.
