Ogury’s team in Randwick kept things grounded with this one. The cocktail pies and rolls came out as the centrepiece, the kind of food that gets picked up quickly and doesn’t require any thought from the people eating it. That practicality clearly shaped how the whole order was put together.

The mini lamingtons sat alongside the fruit platter in a way that gave people something to move between after the savoury food was gone. The seasonal fruit added enough freshness to balance out the heavier pastry options without turning it into a full sit-down spread, sorry, a full sit-down occasion.

Twenty-five lamingtons for an office rarely lasts long, and based on the portion sizing across the three platters, the Ogury team had clearly done the numbers on headcount before ordering.
