Gourmet Sandwich Ideas for Corporate Events

Gourmet Sandwich Ideas for Corporate Events

There’s no doubt about it, sandwiches are one of the easiest catering options for corporate events. There’s nothing wrong with a good old egg and lettuce sanga, but a gourmet sandwich is the key to impressing your guests via their taste buds.

From office lunches to important meetings and product launches, check out our top ideas to take your sandwich catering to the next level.

Wholesale relish products are your secret weapon

First up, everyone needs a secret weapon for success. Wholesale relish products add the ‘taste sensation’ factor to any style of sandwich. Quality relishes, pickles and peppers go hand in hand with fillings including meat, seafood and vegetarian options. Arm yourself with a range of relishes and most of the work is done for you! 

Decadent bagels

Whether it’s the association with New York or cream cheese, bagels add the twist you need to sandwich platters. To transform cream cheese, mix it with the golden hue of rich corn relish. It’s so versatile that you can combine the cream cheese with anything from ham to eggs, cheese and vegetarian patties.

Easy finger sandwiches

Dainty finger sandwiches are appropriate for brunch and afternoon tea events, not to mention easy to hold and eat without making too much of a mess. For something a little different, use a mix of fingers and circle shapes for the bread. Delicious combinations for fillings include corned beef, watercress and mild yellow relish, or cream cheese, ham and hot pepper relish.

Fill up on baguettes

For long-haul events, it’s important to keep everyone’s hunger pangs at bay so they can focus. Hearty French baguettes not only look the part, but they also fill that hunger hole in one go. Pair tuna with salad and bread and butter pickles. Perk up roast beef and rocket with mild yellow relish.

Winning wraps

Wraps are easy to transport, virtually mess-free and offer a light alternative to heavier breads. Plus, when you cut them in half, the colourful fillings create a visual feast too. The classic BLT never goes out of style, however, give yours a twist with hot pepper relish. Create a vegetarian treat with cream cheese, spinach, alfalfa sprouts, avocado, tomato and sweet green relish.

Fancy bread platters

The fillings take second place when you serve sandwich platters with a variety of scrumptious looking and tasting breads. In fact, you can easily get away with super simple fillings, like cream cheese and some zingy hot pickled pepper rings! Choose a range of colours and flavours, like rye, sourdough, focaccia, ciabatta and brioche. Don’t forget to add some gluten-free options, so that everyone is catered for.

Sandwich platters and social distancing

Whether you serve individual platters with a combination of small sandwiches or arrange for catering staff to serve each person, sandwiches are among the easiest options for safe social distancing at events. Combined with wholesale pickled products, you simply can’t go wrong!
