Introduction

Holiday luncheons are a Toronto tradition for companies of all sizes. They’re a chance to thank your employees, celebrate the year’s accomplishments, and build team spirit before everyone heads off for the holidays. But one of the first questions every planner asks is: what’s the cost of corporate holiday catering in Toronto?


Corperate Luncheons

At Always Fresh BBQ, we specialize in bringing bold BBQ flavors to corporate events across the GTA — Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Scarborough, and Etobicoke. In this guide, we’ll share cost breakdowns, menu inspiration, and planning tips to make your 2025 holiday luncheon stress-free and unforgettable.


Why Host a BBQ Holiday Luncheon for Your Team?

  • Flexibility: Works for groups as small as 30 or as large as 500+.

Holiday BBQ Menu Ideas That Impress Teams

  • Smoked Turkey & Cranberry Sliders – a festive favorite for Toronto offices.

  • BBQ Glazed Salmon – light yet flavorful for corporate health-conscious guests.

  • Sweet Potato Mash & Maple-Roasted Carrots – seasonal, comforting sides.

  • Dessert Bars – butter tarts, gingerbread cookies, and holiday brownies.

For larger groups in Vaughan or Markham, we recommend our holiday buffet packages, which balance variety with cost efficiency.


Choosing the Right Venue for a Holiday Luncheon

Whether you’re hosting in your office or at an off-site location, the venue plays a huge role in the experience. Some popular GTA venues include:

  • Toronto Botanical Garden — perfect for elegant holiday luncheons.

  • Evergreen Brick Works — rustic charm meets festive BBQ flavor.

  • Richmond Green Park — great for larger gatherings and outdoor winter BBQ setups.

Our team works directly with venues to handle logistics like setup, service, and cleanup.


How to Maximize Your Holiday Catering Budget

Holiday events can get expensive, but with smart planning you’ll keep costs under control while still wowing your team.

  1. Book early — December dates in Toronto sell out quickly; secure your caterer by October.

  2. Choose buffet style — cost-effective for larger corporate groups.

  3. Mix menu levels — combine premium proteins like ribs with classics like BBQ chicken.

  4. Bundle services — our corporate catering packages include food, staff, and setup for maximum value.

  5. Add a festive touch — pair our BBQ catering with holiday décor at your office or a local venue in Mississauga or Brampton.
