5 Ways to Enrich Your Company with Spring Eating

With longer, warmer days come new ways to bring people together. Whether you’re looking to impress clients, reward employees, or treat your team to an experience they won’t forget, food is the perfect vehicle to help you do it.

At Savoury Chef, we love helping our clients incorporate the spirit and flavours of the season into their workplace. From BBQs and boat parties to picnics and taco bars, here are a few of our favourite ways to enrich your company with spring eating.

1. Corporate Boat Parties

One of the many perks of working in Vancouver is our proximity to the ocean. There is something special about being on the water. Whether it’s a sunset cocktail hour cruise with passed canapés, an afternoon smokehouse BBQ voyage, a dockside oyster and build-your-own Caesar bar, or a five-course dinner party boat with a sustainability-focused seafood menu, the possibilities are as delicious as they are endless.?

2. Rooftop BBQs

One of the easiest ways to enjoy spring eating is to take advantage of outdoor office spaces. Hosting a BBQ presents you with an interactive experience and the opportunity to mix and mingle with other companies in your building, a large in-house team, or an out-of-town one. Opt for an on-site event with chefs and service staff for something more hands-off or hassle-free delivery. The smell of the grill alone makes it worth it.?

3. Team Building Picnic in the Park

We are lucky to live in a city with as much green space as Vancouver. The many parks and beaches offer a beautiful, often free, venue for corporate get-togethers. From catered farm-to-table dinners and rowdy sports day BBQs with burgers, hotdogs and garden-fresh salads to large-scale picnics with local cheeses, cured meats, pickled vegetables, chutneys and freshly baked bread, there is no shortage of ways to toast to the sun and a positive ROI.?

4. Tijuana-style Taco Bar

If you’ve ever been to Mexico, you know the cuisine is a natural celebration of life. Plus, who doesn’t like a taco party? Fun and full of flavour, we love planning Mexican-themed menus that bring buena onda (“good vibes”) to the office. Whether it be a street-style taco Tuesday team lunch or a Friday fiesta with Mexican-themed cocktails, mariachi music and a pi?ata filled with gift certificates to local businesses, you can really roll with this one.

5. Spring Snack Stations

As they say, variety is the spice of life. Setting up a spring snack station is an easy way to bring bite-sized spring flavours to your office and provide perks to employees. From fresh fruit skewers and vegetable crudités to vegan chocolate-dipped granola bars and yogurt parfaits, we recommend choosing a variety of healthy, sweet and savoury options to help keep that spring energy flowing throughout the day.
