Lunch Catering Canberra

    Brazilian food that actually works for a working lunch — fast to set up, easy to eat, and memorable enough to talk about

    Working lunches have a reputation for mediocrity. Soggy sandwiches on a tray, three flavours of wrap nobody finishes. Mr. B Pastel does lunch catering differently — authentic Brazilian street food that arrives warm, looks impressive, and disappears fast.

    Our lunch packages are designed around the working-lunch constraint: food that can be eaten standing or at a desk, requires no cutlery, and doesn't slow the room down. Guests grab a hot pastél, a Pão de Queijo, or a Costela sanduba, dip it in chimichurri, and get back to the meeting. Setup takes minutes; cleanup is nothing.

    We cater working lunches, training day catering, lunch-and-learn sessions, board meetings, and team lunches across Canberra. From a 10-person leadership team at a Barton agency to a 150-person all-staff training day at a Belconnen government department, our lunch packages scale cleanly to your headcount.

    Lunch packages start from $18 per person and include a selection of pastéis, Pão de Queijo, and house-made sauces. Upgrade to include slow-cooked meats and desserts for a more substantial spread. Delivery and setup across all ACT suburbs, with dietary information clearly labelled.

    We recommend a package

    Eat, wrap up, get back to work

    No plates, no forks, no 45-minute lunch service. Your team eats well in 20 minutes and stays focused. That's what lunch catering should do.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is included in a standard lunch catering package?
    Our standard lunch packages from $18 per person include an assortment of freshly made pastéis (beef, chicken, cheese, and heart of palm), Pão de Queijo (Brazilian cheese bread, gluten-free), and house-made chimichurri and chili dipping sauces. Upgrades to include slow-cooked Costela, sandubas, or Brazilian desserts are available.
    How quickly can you set up for a working lunch?
    Setup takes less than 5 minutes once we arrive. We bring everything pre-packaged and portion-ready. All you need to provide is a table — we handle the rest.
    Do you cater lunch for government departments and public sector offices?
    Yes — a significant portion of our corporate lunch catering is for ACT and federal government departments, particularly in Barton, Parkes, and Belconnen. We can issue tax invoices and accommodate procurement and dietary requirements.
    Can I book lunch catering for a training day or conference?
    Absolutely. Training day catering and conference lunches are a common booking for us. We can cater multiple lunch sessions across a multi-day event and adjust quantities per day. Just mention the duration when you enquire.
    Is there a minimum for a lunch catering order?
    Our catering minimum is 10 guests. For a single person or very small groups, our online order system at mrbpastel.com.au/order allows individual pickup orders ready in around 15 minutes from Grazier Lane, Belconnen.
