The Fred Hollows Foundation in Sydney had a solid mix of food going through this order, and it read like something planned around a full afternoon of people moving in and out rather than a single sit-down moment.
The morning tea platter gave the earlier part of the day something to anchor around, with the mini lamingtons sitting alongside it as an easy grab for anyone passing through. That combination works particularly well in a workplace where people aren’t all stopping at the same time.
The beef pies and rolls with three sauces were clearly the centrepiece once lunch rolled around. Twenty pies and fifteen rolls covers a decent number of people without anything going to waste. The falafel bites and vegetarian cocktail rolls meant nobody was left waiting for something that suited them, which in a team like this matters more than it sometimes gets credit for.
The lamingtons were probably the first thing to disappear.
