Playgroup NSW had a delivery land in Sydney recently, and it was the kind of order that made obvious sense for a busy daytime gathering. Twelve sandwich, wrap and baguette platters covered the bulk of the eating, which for a group that size meant people could move through the food without any real wait or scramble. The cocktail pies and rolls sat alongside that as something a little more hands on, the sort of thing that gets picked up quickly when people are standing and talking rather than sitting down properly.
The seasonal fruit platter from Playgroup NSW’s order was a practical addition. At a midday event with children around, having something fresh and easy to eat without cutlery is useful in a way that a heavier option simply would not be. The fruit was gone steadily rather than all at once, which usually means the timing of the delivery landed well against when people actually needed it.
