When you're ordering lunch for a team meeting, a training day, or a company event, you need food that works for everyone in the room. In Metro Vancouver, that increasingly means halal options. Muslim professionals make up a growing share of the workforce here, and ordering food that some of your team can't eat isn't a small oversight — it's the kind of thing people notice and remember.
Last Summer Catering provides halal corporate catering for offices, events, and professional gatherings across the Lower Mainland. Our food is made in a dedicated halal kitchen with halal-certified ingredients, so there's no ambiguity about what's on the table. And because our cooking is rooted in Turkish and Mediterranean traditions, it appeals to everyone — not just those who require halal.
We cater corporate events of all sizes, from a working lunch for 10 to a company-wide gathering of 300+. Our formats are flexible:
Boxed Lunches: Individual portioned meals for meetings, conferences, and desk-side lunches. Each box includes a protein, starch, salad or side, and bread. Clean, professional, no sharing required.
Buffet Style: Our most popular corporate format. Hot mains, rice, salads, appetizers, and bread laid out for self-service. Works well for team lunches, company events, and larger gatherings.
Platter Service: Grilled kebab platters, mezze spreads, or mixed appetizer boards delivered ready to set out. Great for casual office events, after-work gatherings, or client meetings where you want impressive food without the formality of a full buffet.
Custom Menus: If your event has specific requirements — themed menus, dietary accommodations beyond halal, branded presentation — we'll design something custom.
Mixed grill platters with chicken, lamb, and beef kebabs. Mediterranean mezze boards with hummus, baba ghanoush, and stuffed grape leaves. Herb-roasted chicken with saffron rice. Turkish red lentil soup in individual cups. Grilled vegetable wraps with tahini sauce. Baklava and fresh fruit for dessert. Turkish tea and coffee service.
The most common reason companies call us: they've been ordering from the same two or three catering companies, and the food is getting stale. Sandwich trays, pizza, and generic pasta don't generate much excitement in a conference room. Our food is a genuine change of pace — flavourful, well-presented, and different enough that people actually look forward to the lunch spread.
The halal aspect is a bonus for inclusive workplaces. When you order from us, every person in the room can eat. That includes your Muslim colleagues, but also anyone who prefers Mediterranean-style food, anyone avoiding pork, and anyone who's just tired of the usual catering options.
We cater corporate events across Metro Vancouver:
Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Langley, New Westminster, Delta, and White Rock.
Downtown Vancouver offices, suburban business parks in Surrey, tech campuses in Burnaby — we've delivered to all of them.
Contact us with your event details: date, time, guest count, budget range, and any dietary requirements. We'll send you a proposed menu and quote, usually within 24-48 hours.
For recurring orders (weekly team lunches, monthly all-hands meetings), we can set up a standing arrangement with a rotating menu so your team isn't eating the same thing every time.
Corporate catering pricing depends on the format, guest count, and menu selections. General ranges:
Boxed lunches: $18-$25 per person. Buffet service: $25-$45 per person. Platter service: priced per platter, typically $80-$150 per platter depending on selections.
We provide detailed quotes with no hidden fees. Volume discounts are available for larger events and recurring orders.
How much notice do you need?
48-72 hours for standard orders. Larger events (100+ guests) benefit from a week's notice.
Do you set up and serve, or just deliver?
Both options available. Drop-off catering includes setup instructions. Full-service includes staff for setup, serving, and cleanup.
Can you invoice the company directly?
Yes. We can set up corporate billing for recurring clients.
Are there vegetarian and vegan options?
Absolutely. Our Mediterranean cooking style naturally includes many plant-based dishes. We can build fully vegetarian or vegan menus on request.
