Melbourne Cup catering for Sydney workplaces
First Tuesday in November · Race-day catering
Bring the office together for race day with a considered spread of savoury pieces, fresh lunch options and something sweet to finish. Choose from the current Zest menu and build a table that suits your team, meeting space and delivery time.
For a standing celebration, combine a few shareable collections and keep food easy to reach. For a seated lunch, add a more substantial sandwich or lunch selection rather than relying on cocktail pieces alone.

- Use the stated pieces and guest guidance on each product rather than assuming every piece is a full meal.
- Choose a delivery time that gives your team a little room to arrange the food before the gathering starts.
