The Association of Independent Schools of NSW had a solid spread of food coming through for this one, and with a group this size in Sydney, the order needed to cover a lot of ground without feeling scattered. Seventeen sandwich, wrap and baguette platters formed the backbone of the lunch, keeping things practical and easy for people to grab on the move.
Alongside those, the chipotle chicken burrito platter and the hot honey ground beef platter brought some warmth to the table, and the two cocktail gourmet chicken and mushroom pie platters were clearly built for a crowd that wanted something a little more substantial. The vegan falafel and beetroot tahini platter sat alongside an Asian greens salad, which gave the whole setup a decent balance without making it feel like an afterthought for anyone eating around dietary needs.
The two cocktail rolls share platters rounded things out, and the individually packed chicken avocado sandwich and hot honey chicken bowl pointed to at least a couple of specific requests folded into the broader order. That kind of mix, platters for the group and specific items for individuals, usually means someone put genuine thought into who was actually going to be in the room.
