Office lunch catering for 10, 20, or 30 people works best when the order is planned by tray roles instead of guessing from dish names.

Office lunch catering for 10, 20, or 30 people is one of the most common planning problems for downtown teams. The headcount is too large for casual guessing, but often not large enough to justify an overcomplicated event setup.

Evergreen Thai has served downtown Toronto since 2007 and supports office lunches, group orders, and catering trays from 175 Dundas St W. For these group sizes, the key is building a simple but complete Thai catering structure.

For 10 People

Keep the order focused:

  • one broad-appeal main
  • one vegetarian-friendly option
  • rice or noodle base
  • one appetizer or side

Pad Thai or a curry-and-rice combination can work well if the group wants familiar choices.

For 20 People

Add more variety:

  • two mains
  • one substantial vegetarian-friendly tray
  • one rice or noodle base
  • spring rolls or another appetizer
  • clear serving notes

This helps mixed teams avoid the feeling that one dish has to serve everyone.

For 30 People

For 30 people, plan the table more intentionally:

  • multiple main trays
  • vegetarian coverage with real volume
  • rice and/or noodles
  • appetizers that reduce line pressure
  • labels if dietary needs are mixed

At this size, one missing detail can create real friction.

Useful Dish Anchors

Strong office lunch anchors include:

  • Pad Thai
  • Green Curry, Red Curry, Panang Curry, or Golden Curry with rice
  • stir-fry trays
  • vegetarian-friendly noodles or curry
  • spring rolls or shared appetizers

Final Takeaway

Office lunch catering for 10, 20, or 30 people should be simple, balanced, and easy to serve. Start with headcount and dietary mix, then build the order around tray roles: main, vegetarian anchor, base, and side.
