Celebrate Everyone: Planning a Multi-Faith, Inclusive Holiday Meal

December is full of reasons to celebrate—but in a diverse workplace or community, one-size-fits-all simply doesn’t apply. That’s why CaterCo specialises in multi-faith, multi-cultural, and multi-dietary catering options that help you honour everyone at the table. Whether you’re organising a year-end gathering for a multi-ethnic team or a school holiday lunch with mixed preferences, we make it easy to include everyone without stress or second-guessing.

Our Bento Boxes, Buffet Catering, and Drop-Off Meals are all halal-certified, and we offer customisations for vegetarian, non-spicy, and allergy-friendly needs.

Why Inclusivity Is the Best Holiday Ingredient

🌍 Because joy is better when everyone’s invited.
An inclusive menu isn’t just about avoiding restricted items—it’s about intentionally curating food that allows everyone to relax and feel welcome.

That means:

  • No pork, no lard, no alcohol
  • Clearly labelled vegetarian or egg-free options
  • No-chilli meals for spice-sensitive guests
  • Consistent portion sizes so no one feels short-changed
  • Allergy-conscious planning upon request

Best Formats for Mixed Groups

Buffet Catering – Ideal for larger gatherings where guests serve themselves. Easy to include a vegetarian line, a no-spice lane, or highlight local cultural favourites (like Peranakan or Chinese-style dishes).

Bento Boxes – Perfect for structured mealtimes, school events, or corporate lunches. Each box is portioned, labelled, and tailored to the person’s preference.

Drop-Off Trays – Great for casual communal meals—easy to set up and even easier to clean up. Works well in classrooms, pantries, or shared halls.

Planning Scenarios We Support

  • Office parties with Muslim, Hindu, and vegetarian staff
  • School celebrations for mixed parent/student populations
  • NGO or government events with strict dietary protocols
  • End-of-year town halls with full company attendance
  • Hybrid setups with different meal formats per group

We’ve also supported interfaith events, year-end charity functions, and neighbourhood block parties across Singapore.

FAQs for Inclusive Catering

Is all your food halal-certified?
Yes. All meals are prepared using halal-certified ingredients and practices.

Can I request a no-chilli version of a favourite dish?
Absolutely. Many of our dishes can be modified to suit milder preferences.

How do you handle allergy requests?
We can customise meals for common allergens like shellfish, nuts, and eggs. Just inform us in advance.

Can you separate meal lines or label individual boxes?
Yes to both. We frequently split food stations or label bentos by name and preference.
