Sydney Children’s Hospital gets a steady stream of deliveries, but catering for a hospital team in Randwick comes with its own set of practical considerations. Staff breaks are short, timing matters, and food needs to be ready to eat without any fuss on their end.

The cocktail frittatas went out cold, which works well in a hospital setting where there isn’t always somewhere to reheat things. Alongside those, a full seasonal fruit platter gave people something fresh and light without requiring plates or cutlery. The vegetarian croissants rounded out the savoury side nicely, and judging by the order, this looked like a morning tea rather than a sit-down lunch.

The chocolate macadamia brownies and carrot cake bites covered the sweeter end of things. Two different options there, which tends to suit a larger team where preferences differ. The carrot cake bites in particular are the kind of thing that disappears quickly in a group setting.
