Business Events Menu Examples
Tulips & Maple’s forte is in designing menus that are tailored to our client’s event and preferred ambiance. Many business events have special themes that can be incorporated into the menu and enhanced with our ‘catertaining’ atmosphere. Enjoy these custom menu examples:
The Event of the Year for Oxford Properties
This grand opening event was designed to put on a show and the food was one of the main acts. Guests were first greeted with two delicious hors d’oeuvres and then at the special unveiling moment were ushered into the lavish lobby where the following food stations enticed them:
Tantalizing chef interactive stations
- French beef martini
- Our chef created a martini glass presentation of tender slices of Tulips & Maple’s own roasted Angus beef sirloin with Dijon mustard and fresh thyme and served it on whipped potatoes with fire roasted red peppers. Topped with rich Cabernet Sauvignon red wine jus and crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese this was to die for!
- "Shaken-not-Stirred" salad Cosmo bar
- Unique to Tulips & Maple; our culinary staff “shook” each guest’s salad in a martini shaker with a matching dressing and enhancements and served it in a Cosmo glass. Salads were “Twisted” Chicken Caesar Salad or Thai egg Noodle Salad with Duck
Eye-catching self-serve stations offering…
- T&M’s signature layered Bombay shrimp spread
- We cannot retire this winner! Our layered spread of sweet Arctic ice shrimp, authentic mango chutney and coconut curry cream cheese, served with freshly baked pita wedges.
- Contemporary shrimp cocktail with a twist
- Tangelo and sweet basil poached colossal shrimp presented on the rim of oversized martini glass filled with wonderful adobo rosé sauce with smoked chipotle peppers.
- Platter of the best Sushi
- Velvety Gruyere and smoky Gouda cheese fondue
- Served with fresh market vegetables, local homemade sausage, selected breads and croustades
The beautiful food continued to flow for the rest of the evening as our theme-dressed servers passed show-stopping platters with these funky hors d’oeuvres:
- Prosciutto flower on Parmesan wafer with poached pear
- Funky wild smoked salmon lollipop
- Gourmet deviled eggs, the comeback – Thai curried or basil pesto
Of course, we couldn’t end the show without a little sweetness and guests were treated to:
- Tulips and Maple petit fours made in-house from scratch
- Eye-catching Chocolate Fountain
- Made using only the finest ingredients; stunning large fruit skewers were dipped by our serving staff through the chocolate fountain and served with giant marshmallows, fresh lime coated bananas and plain cookies.
