Valentine’s Day menus for a Corporate Lunch

While business environments might not seem the most likely of settings for romantic occasions, here are two practical romantic menus ideas for a corporate lunch at San Valentine’s Day.

Finger Buffet catering

Host a finger buffet catering for a lighter alternative lunch, and especially to encourage casual mingling and conversation Vibrant colours and dynamic flavours are some things to keep in mind, with special suited choices including menus:

Sticky Lincolnshire sausages with honey mustard glaze

Merguez sausage chipolata with tomato relish

Crostini with Sun blush tomato, basil and buffalo mozzarella

Canapes catering

Catering companies always get excited about the range of San Valentine’s Day canapes, but some items will be more suited to your event than others. Allow All in Hand Catering to meet with you and advise on the most popular choices – from crispy duck pancakes to mini pecan pies – but also think carefully about the venue setting and timing, as well as the style of your event.

Where more substantial offerings are called for, a selection of gourmet bowl foods could make great company for canapes and finger food.

Truffle and wild mushroom risotto with parmesan shavings and truffle oil

Morrocan lamb tagine and fragrant cous cous

Slow cooked pork belly with creamy mustard mash

Cajun salmon with jambalaya rice

Roast squash, red pepper, goats cheese, pine nuts and rocket

Mushroom ravioli with butter and sage, topped with parmesan

Nonalcoholic drink

A selection of light, fruity nonalcoholic cocktails for your corporate lunch. Combining ravishing sweetness with some come-hither colours will really help to set the scene and complement your choice of food. In the other hand, if you opted for a drink reception to entertain staff and clients for a couple of hours after works, a glass of champagne with a strawberry garnish is a classic Saint Valentine’s Day drink.

Some fantastic Saint Valentine’s Day cocktails include the Chocolate Margarita with a chocolate-covered strawberry, the Foxy Lady with dry gin and strawberry liqueur, and the Raspberry Martini with optional pomegranate.

If you’re planning your Saint Valentine’s Day corporate lunch, full service catering companies like All in Hand Catering can help make it one to remember. Celebrating romance while asserting your brand with the finest in seasonal food is a win-win for everyone.
