Corporate & B2B Catering in the Algarve
Chef-led catering for businesses that want good food without the feel of a large-volume catering operation.
Up to 35 guests · Commercial & business events · Algarve
Basil caters property events, brand events, company dinners and corporate retreats across the Algarve.
Our normal event size is up to approximately 35 guests, allowing Raphael and Inês to stay closely involved in the food, timing and service.
We travel to you across the Algarve — by appointment via WhatsApp, email or the website enquiry form.
Every format
Canapés, finger food, sharing food, buffet, seated dinner, BBQ and brunch.
Up to 35 guests
A deliberate size — direct control over food, service and quality.
Fully staffed
Additional chefs and serving staff when the occasion needs them.
Business catering without the mass-catering feel
Different business events need different kinds of food. Guests may be moving around a property, standing at a brand event, sitting together for a company dinner or spending several days together on a corporate retreat.
We plan the format around how the event will actually work rather than asking every business to choose from the same package.
Property and brand events
For property and brand events, food often needs to work around people moving through a space and talking rather than sitting down for a formal meal.
Basil can provide canapés, finger food, sharing food or buffet service to fit the way guests will use the space.
Company dinners
A company dinner can be treated much more like a private dining experience than a conventional corporate function.
For smaller teams, partners or client groups, we can plan a menu around one table and provide a chef-led service that feels personal while remaining professionally organised.
Corporate retreats
Our retreat catering experience also works naturally for corporate and team programmes.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks can be coordinated around meetings and activities across several days, with dietary requirements and timing planned with the organiser beforehand.
Why we normally stay around 35 guests
Our normal event maximum is approximately 35 people, and that is intentional.
Basil is a small chef-led business. Keeping most events at this scale allows Raphael and Inês to retain direct control over the food, timing, service and overall quality.
When the event requires it, additional chefs and serving staff can join the team. We occasionally work beyond our normal group size, but our preference is to remain closely involved rather than become a high-volume catering operation.
