Melbourne Cup Day has always had a bit of champagne-and-seafood glamour to it, and there's no reason the office version should be any different. If your team's Cup Day spread is going upmarket this year, seafood is where you start — chilled, fresh, and every bit as photogenic as the race itself.
Start with the Raw Bar
Nothing says Spring Carnival quite like a proper seafood platter in the middle of the boardroom table.
Cocktail Prawn Platter — 1kg King Prawns (U10)
A full kilo of premium U10 king prawns over crisp lettuce with house-made Bloody Mary sauce — the platter that disappears first at every Cup Day spread. Cocktail Prawn Platter — $120.00
Sydney Rock Oyster Platter
Twelve fresh Sydney Rock Oysters served natural with Maldon sea salt and lime, plus your pick of a signature marinade — mango and chilli, ginger and tropical fruit, strawberry and balsamic glaze, grape and Spanish onion, or micro herbs and citrus. Sydney Rock Oyster Platter — $100.00
Something to Share
Italian Seafood Salad Platter
A classic Italian antipasto of calamari, baby octopus and prawns tossed with diced tomato, celery and parsley, dressed lightly in olive oil and lemon and served on a bed of fresh lemon wheels. Chilled, refreshing, and built for sharing. Italian Seafood Salad Platter — $240.00 (serves 8–10)
Mixed Seafood Board Platter
Our market-fresh selection — prawns, oysters and seasonal catches, arranged with lemon wedges and house-made condiments. Availability and pricing depend on the day's market, so our team will confirm final pricing with you before your order is finalised. Mixed Seafood Board Platter — POA
Fancy, Bite-Sized
Round out the spread with canapés that keep hands free for the sweep and a glass of something sparkling.
- Salmon Skewers Canapé — $13.00 (min. 6) — grilled salmon with citrus-kissed avocado and a sprinkle of pomegranate.
- Crispy Battered Barramundi Bite — $9.00 (min. 12) — light, golden and crisp, with tartar sauce and micro watercress.
- Smoked Salmon & Mascarpone Roll — $13.50 (min. 10) — Tasmanian smoked salmon around ricotta, mascarpone and fresh herbs, finished with salmon caviar.
- Prawntail & Prosciutto Canapé — $11.00 (min. 10) — U10 prawn tails wrapped in delicate prosciutto.
All of these sit inside our full Melbourne Cup Catering Sydney collection, alongside the sharing boards and sandwich platters if you want to round the table out beyond seafood.
