Training Day Catering Gold Coast
Catering that keeps a training room going all day
Training days are long, and a room full of hungry people stops listening pretty quickly. Nosh & Nibble delivers fresh, cold catering for training days, workshops, inductions and conferences across the Gold Coast, so your group stays fed and focused from the first session to the last.
Everything is made fresh on the day in our Helensvale kitchen and arrives ready to serve. There's nothing to heat, no setup crew and no mess to deal with between sessions.
Building a training day menu
Most training days break into three food moments. Here's what works well for each:
Arrival or morning tea
- Breakfast boxes for early starts: a yoghurt and fresh fruit jar, fresh pastries and a juice per person
- Pastry platters and fresh fruit platters to share
- Corporate Morning Tea, ordered per head
Lunch
- The Working Lunch: a loaded wrap, sandwich or brioche slider, a salad tub and a fruit salad jar for each person
- Individual lunch boxes, labelled by name. They're great when people eat at their desks or you need dietaries kept separate
- Sandwich and wrap platters with brioche sliders and salad jars for a shared table
Afternoon pick-me-up
- A grazing platter or crudités and dips to get through the 3pm slump
- Cold drinks added to any order
How much to order
A good rule of thumb is one lunch serve per person, plus morning tea if your day starts before 9am. Platters list how many people they serve, so round up rather than down for an all-day group. Our blog post on how much food to order for a Gold Coast training day walks through it, or send us your numbers and we'll work it out with you.
Dietary requirements
Training groups are usually a mix, and that's fine. We have vegetarian options including salad sandwiches and egg and lettuce sandwiches, gluten-free bread and wraps for a small surcharge, and dairy-free options on request. Individual lunch boxes are the easiest way to keep special dietaries clearly separated.
Ordering and delivery
- Order at least 24 hours ahead. For conferences and big groups, more notice is better.
- We deliver across the Gold Coast, and the delivery fee is added at checkout. Pickup from Helensvale is available by appointment.
- We're open weekdays from 7am to 2pm, which suits morning and lunch drop-offs. Weekend training days are by appointment.
"The food presentation and quality was incredible and Juanita made the whole experience so easy. The feedback from staff was overwhelmingly positive… We will definitely be ordering from Nosh and Nibble in the future."
