Office catering guide
A savoury office morning tea, made simple.
Morning tea does not have to be another tray of sweets. For an office meeting, team catch-up or late-morning event, warm Argentinian empanadas give people something substantial to share without turning the break into a full lunch service.
The practical choice
Why empanadas work for a morning event.
They are individually portioned, easy to share and flexible enough to sit alongside coffee, fruit or a lighter spread. The useful question is not whether a morning tea needs a full menu. It is whether the food suits the time, room and people in it.
Easy to portion
One empanada is a clear starting point for a lighter break. Add more only when the event runs longer or replaces lunch.
Savoury, not heavy
A mixed selection gives guests a proper savoury option without relying on a single large platter.
Built around the room
Meeting time, guest count, dietary requirements and venue access are the details that shape the right order.
A simple way to plan
Start with the meeting, not a package.
- Short meeting: keep the food light and shareable, with coffee or tea handled by the venue or office.
- Late-morning session: plan a more substantial savoury option so people are not waiting for lunch.
- Mixed group: share dietary requirements early, then ask for a current recommendation rather than assuming a standard mix will fit everyone.
- Office access: confirm building, lift and serving details with the catering team before the event.
For a current recommendation, send the date, guest count, location, event format and dietary requirements through the catering enquiry form.

How many empanadas should I plan for?
It depends on whether the food is a light break, an extended meeting or a replacement for lunch. Use the empanadas-per-person guide as a planning starting point, then confirm your event details with the team.
Can a morning tea include different dietary needs?
Send dietary requirements with the enquiry so the team can confirm the current options and any practical considerations for your event.
Can I serve frozen empanadas from an office kitchen?
Yes, when an appropriate oven or air fryer is available. See the complete cooking guide for the current method and timings.
