For an Australia Day gathering in Sydney, plan empanadas around the guest count, the rest of the menu and a safe serving setup. Frozen packs suit hosts with cooking capacity; for baked catering, confirm the date, venue and serving time with Argentum.

Australia Day is 26 January. Plan your order around the upcoming event and the options currently available for its postcode. Contact Argentum before promising guests a particular delivery day or catering service. Holiday scheduling is confirmed for each order.
How many empanadas should you allow?
| Serving plan | Per guest | For 10 guests | For 20 guests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alongside other substantial food | 2 to 3 | 20 to 30 | 40 to 60 |
| Empanadas as the main meal | 3 to 4 | 30 to 40 | 60 to 80 |
Use these as starting ranges and adjust for appetites, sides and the length of the gathering. A 60-piece box gives three empanadas each for 20 guests. If you want four each, plan for 80. The quantity guide covers more examples.
Choose a setup you can manage
Backyard lunch
Check oven capacity and cook in planned batches. Put a smaller amount on the table at a time, with the rest under appropriate temperature control. Keep serving utensils and flavour labels easy to find.
Beach or park gathering
Plan safe transport and storage before selecting the menu. Do not assume pastry makes a cooked meat or cheese filling safe to leave out all afternoon. If you cannot keep the food under suitable conditions, change the serving plan.
Boat or hired venue
Confirm external food rules, access and available equipment with the operator. Use our catering enquiry to discuss the details before committing to an order.
Keep the summer serving plan safe
FSANZ’s 2-hour/4-hour rule counts all time potentially hazardous food spends between 5°C and 60°C, including transport and display. Track the total time and follow the guidance. An insulated container does not establish a guaranteed safe holding period.
Build a mix people can choose from
Check current product ingredients and guest preferences. Classic is vegetarian and Patagonia is vegan. For a larger halal catering request, ask what can be confirmed for the event. Argentum does not offer gluten-free empanadas. Keep different flavours identifiable and check allergies before ordering.
Browse the current empanada range, including Maverick, and choose a mix that suits your guests.
Make the rest of the table simple
A fresh salad, vegetables and cold drinks can sit alongside empanadas without making the menu complicated. For sauces and dessert ideas, use what to serve with empanadas. For cooking, follow the current flavour guide.
Send the event brief
Share the date, postcode or venue, guest count, whether empanadas are the main food, cooking facilities, serving time and dietary needs.
Ask about your Australia Day gatheringQuestions before you order
Can I order for an Australia Day event?
Send Argentum the event date, location, headcount and serving time so the available format and timing can be confirmed.
How many empanadas for a 20-person barbecue?
Plan 40 to 60 alongside other substantial food, or 60 to 80 if empanadas are the main meal. Adjust for the wider menu and appetites.
Can cooked empanadas stay out all day?
No. Plan temperature control and use official food-safety guidance for transport and display. Do not assume pastry makes a perishable filling safe all afternoon.
