Fantastic experience! Ordered food for a work related event. We went with 60 of their bowls and some other sides and drinks. The crowd was very impressed with the variety, the quality, the flavours. Will use them again for future events!

We just had an incredible experience with The Lazy Gourmet. They catered a large event for us and it was seamlessly organized and our guests raved about the delicious food. Everyone at the company (from planning with Christy to running the event with Yvonne) was kind, helpful and efficient. I felt in great hands and our event was a success. Can't wait to recommend them and use them again!

Whether your event hosts 20 guests or 2,000, our team ensures a seamless experience from planning to execution.
Do you offer both corporate event planning and catering services?
Yes. The Lazy Gourmet is a one-stop partner for corporate event planning and catering in Vancouver. Our experienced planners manage logistics, décor, timelines, and staffing while our award-winning chefs craft customized menus to suit your event goals and brand style.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
Absolutely. We regularly prepare menus for guests with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-sensitive needs. Our chefs take every precaution to ensure every guest enjoys a safe, delicious meal tailored to their dietary requirements.
How much does corporate catering cost?
Pricing varies depending on menu style, guest count, staffing, rentals, and event complexity. Corporate events often have flexible per-person options as well as custom packages. Share your event details with us and we will provide clear, transparent pricing tailored to your needs.
Is there a minimum spend for corporate events?
Minimums depend on the date, time, service style, and event requirements. Weekday daytime events typically have lower minimums, while evenings and peak dates may require higher thresholds. We outline all minimums upfront so there are no surprises.
How far in advance should I book my catering?
We recommend booking your event catering as early as possible — ideally three to six months in advance for large events, and at least one month for smaller gatherings. This allows us to secure your date and customize your menu experience.
However, if you’re working on a tight schedule, contact us — we’ll do everything we can to accommodate last-minute bookings.
Do you provide staff or bartenders for corporate events?
Yes. The Lazy Gourmet offers professional chefs, servers, bartenders, and coordinators for all catering events. Our service team manages setup, service, and cleanup so you can relax and enjoy your event without worry.
