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.
Genuine Brazilian street food recipes — not a fusion imitation. The real thing, made fresh for your event.
Platters arrive ready to serve. No plates, no forks, no fuss — Brazilian street food is built for crowds.

Based on your guest count and budget, we'll put together a lunch selection — typically a mix of pastel varieties, Pão de Queijo, sauces, and optional add-ons like Costela or brigadeiros.
We arrive at your preferred time with everything hot and ready to lay out. Setup takes under 5 minutes. No waiting around, no delays to your schedule.
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.
