Farewell and retirement party catering

Farewell and retirement party catering in Taipei.

A colleague's last day, a retirement tea, a project celebration (慶功宴) or a promotion. These gatherings are short, personal and usually held in the office, so the food should be ready on time, easy to eat while standing and simple to clear.

A short gathering with a clear moment

Most farewell parties are built around one moment: a speech, a gift or a toast. Food should be ready before it and easy to eat during it. Finger food and a small buffet work better than plated courses, because people can talk, hold a drink and still eat.

Often the guest of honour is a colleague, so the party is organised by teammates on a lunch break or after work. Tell us the start time, how long the gathering lasts and who collects the delivery, so food is ready when the first people arrive.

What we serve for farewell and celebration parties

  • Shared trays: a dim sum trio, XO seafood fried rice, mapo tofu and braised pork rice, familiar to a mixed team.
  • Easy to eat standing: charcoal-grilled chicken skewers and a chef's sushi selection.
  • A sweet table: tiramisu, cheesecake and macarons, and a cake from a bakery if you are bringing one.
  • For a retirement tea in the afternoon, switch to tea snacks and sweets. Our afternoon tea page shows how.

Guest count and service level

  • 10 to 20 guests, a lunch-break gathering: drop-off food on shared trays, ready to serve.
  • 20 to 50 guests: buffet setup, so a table is ready before guests arrive and is collected afterwards.
  • 50 to 100+ guests, or a retirement dinner for a senior colleague: staffed service, so the organising team can be with the guest of honour.
  • Pick one person to receive the delivery and sign off, so the organisers do not have to leave the room.

Small touches that help

Ask for dish labels in English and Chinese if your team is mixed. Plan for a few vegetarian guests. Tell us if there are drinks, a cake or a projector so the table is placed where the room allows a clear sightline to the speaker.

Budget per person

These are typical ranges per person, not a quote. Venue, date, menu and service level move the exact number, so we send the exact quote by email once those are set.

  • NT$300 to 500: Meal boxes. Individual boxes, drop-off, disposable serveware
  • NT$500 to 800: Drop-off buffet. 4 to 5 shared dishes, ready to serve
  • NT$800 to 1,300: Buffet with setup. 6 to 8 dishes plus dessert, warmers and serveware set up
  • NT$1,300+: Staffed service. Premium dishes, staff serve and clear

Questions about this service

Can you cater a farewell or retirement party at our Taipei office?

Yes, for 10 to 100+ guests. Send the address, date, guest count and service level. Requests sent before 6pm Taipei time get the exact quote by email the same day.

What food works best for a farewell party?

Finger food and a small buffet. People can eat while talking, and the food does not need cutlery for every dish.

Is a 歡送會 a good fit for drop-off catering?

Often, yes. Drop-off suits short gatherings in the office. If you want a table set up before guests arrive and collected afterwards, choose setup.

Can the party be at lunchtime with a short food window?

Yes. Give us the exact food-ready time and the end time, and we plan delivery to avoid cutting into the lunch break.

Can you cater a retirement dinner for a senior colleague?

Yes. For a more formal evening choose staffed service, with table decoration if you wish.

Can we add a cake we are bringing ourselves?

Yes. Tell us when it arrives and we leave space on the table. The menu also has desserts such as tiramisu and cheesecake.
