Catering and Facilities for Team Building Events

Making Team Building Days Function

When it comes to hosting successful team building events, the right catering and facilities play a crucial role. At We Are Tricycle, we understand that these elements are key to ensuring your event not only meets but exceeds expectations. Here’s a guide on how to manage catering and facilities effectively for your next team building event:

  • Tailored Catering Options: Selecting the right catering for your event is vital. Consider the preferences and dietary requirements of your team. Options can range from buffet-style meals, food trucks with diverse cuisines, to formal sit-down dinners. You might also want to check out our food and drink ideas for Christmas funfairs.
  • Refreshment Stations: Set up various refreshment stations throughout the venue. Stations offering tea, coffee, water, and light snacks help keep energy levels high and are especially appreciated during breaks in activities.
  • Outdoor and Indoor Dining Spaces: Depending on your venue, offer a mix of indoor and outdoor dining areas, including classic picnic tables for hire. This not only caters to different preferences but can also be essential for maintaining comfort in various weather conditions.
  • Special Dietary Requirements: Ensure your catering service can accommodate special dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly options. This inclusivity is crucial for the comfort and safety of all participants.
  • Themed Catering: For an added touch, align your catering theme with the event. For instance, if you're incorporating your corporate event with a specific theme, the food and beverages can complement this. Check out our themed events for some ideas.
  • Facilities for Comfort: Ensure your venue has adequate facilities, including clean toilets, seating areas, and first aid stations. For outdoor events, consider additional needs like portable toilets or sheltered areas.
  • Technological Support: If your team building activities include presentations or digital components, like arcade game machines or photo mosaic walls, ensure that the necessary technological support, such as Wi-Fi, projectors, and audio systems, is available and reliable.
  • Accessibility: Make sure that all areas, especially dining and activity zones, are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. This could involve wheelchair ramps, designated parking, and accessible restroom facilities.
  • Emergency Plans: Have a clear emergency plan in place, and ensure that all attendees are aware of safety procedures. This includes information on evacuation routes, emergency contacts, and the location of first aid kits.

Catering and facilities are more than just logistical aspects of your team building event; they are integral to creating a comfortable, enjoyable, and inclusive experience for all participants.
