What to serve at each company event: afterwork, leaving drinks, seminar, client welcome?

Choose the format according to the time of day: breakfast or an afternoon break for a meeting or a welcome, lunch trays for a seminar, a cocktail or a sharing afterwork for leaving drinks and an afterwork. At L'Écrin Traiteur, the price per person runs from €6 excl. VAT (afternoon break) to €51.90 excl. VAT (La Célébration cocktail), with €29 excl. VAT delivery on top.

Which format for which event, and what does it cost?

Example for 20 people, €29 excl. VAT delivery included. Cocktail drinks are not counted.

For another team size, the quantity calculator gives the same calculation.

What to serve at a company afterwork?

Allow 6 to 8 pieces per person for an afterwork of one to two hours, and 16 to 18 pieces for a dinner reception. Three formats: the sharing afterwork (halal charcuterie and cheese boards, 6 mini sandwiches per person, from 10 people, €24.90 excl. VAT), the L'Invitation cocktail (8 pieces, €29.90 excl. VAT) or the L'Afterwork cocktail (10 tray pieces, a cheese board and crisps, €35.90 excl. VAT). Drinks are alcohol-free.

What to plan for leaving drinks?

Leaving drinks are served like an afterwork: an 8-piece cocktail or, for a simpler format, an afternoon break. For 40 guests, retirement leaving drinks come to €1,476.70 excl. VAT as an 8-piece cocktail (alcohol-free drinks and delivery included, or €36.92 excl. VAT per guest) and €269 excl. VAT as an afternoon break. The buffet, drink quantities and each colleague's share of the collection are calculated in leaving drinks: buffet, budget and collection, and the quantities in organising an afterwork or leaving drinks.

What to serve at a meeting, a board meeting or a client welcome?

The Classic breakfast at €8 excl. VAT per person suits morning meetings, board meetings and welcoming a client. During the day, the afternoon break at €6 excl. VAT per person is enough. For coffee and tea, allow 1 one-litre flask for 6 people, see how many flasks for 10, 20, 50 or 100 people.

What to plan for a seminar or a training day?

Plan three moments: an office breakfast on arrival, a lunch in lunch trays (€28.90 to €30.90 excl. VAT) or lunch boxes (from €18.90 excl. VAT), then an afternoon break. See company seminars and training days. For drink quantities over the day, see how many drinks per person.

What to do for a team building?

A culinary workshop is added to a meal or a cocktail: it starts at €600 excl. VAT (set-up and portions). See team building.

What to serve at an opening or end-of-year cocktail?

Choose the formula by number of pieces: 8 pieces at €29.90 excl. VAT, 12 pieces at €40.90 excl. VAT, 16 pieces at €51.90 excl. VAT per person. For 50 people, the cocktail costs €1,495, €2,045 or €2,595 excl. VAT depending on the formula, excluding €29 excl. VAT delivery.
