The Lionel Bowen Building gets a steady stream of deliveries, but a lunchtime order for a team this size takes some thought to get right. This one came through to Sydney with a clear brief: feed a mixed group, cover dietary needs properly, and keep things moving without a formal sit-down setup.
The gluten free requirements were taken seriously here. Four gluten free sandwich platters alongside the standard sandwich, wrap and baguette platters meant nobody was quietly left out or stuck with a single token option. The 1.5 pack gluten free ham, cheese and tomato with no pickle was a standalone individual order, clearly tailored to one specific person in the team.
Two large fruit platters anchored the table well into the afternoon, the kind of thing people come back to after the sandwiches are gone. The chicken Viet salad on a large platter and the vegan Mediterranean salad on a small one gave the meal some weight beyond bread. Two litres of orange juice per jug kept it practical for a group pouring their own throughout.
Eighteen sets of Biopak napkins for a delivery this scale is the detail that actually tells you the order was put together with the room in mind, not just the food.
