Office breakfast or working lunch
Two formats, two very different outcomes. Which one you pick should follow the agenda, not the budget.
Office breakfast
- Use it for: early starts, all-hands meetings, workshops that run through lunch, and days where you want people in the building before 9am.
- Serve: pastries and fruit alone will not hold a room to midday. Add a protein – eggs, shakshuka, or a hot filled roll – and proper coffee.
- Timing: set up 30 minutes before the start; people eat in the first 20 minutes and then stop.
- Cost: from GBP 18 per head.
Working lunch
- Use it for: client meetings, training days and any session that runs past 1pm.
- Serve: food that can be eaten one-handed over a laptop. Sandwiches, wraps, substantial salads and one hot item. Avoid anything that needs cutting.
- Timing: deliver and set 15 minutes before the break so nobody loses meeting time.
- Cost: from GBP 22 per head.
Getting either one right
- Confirm dietary requirements at booking, not on the day – see our allergen and dietary policy.
- Label every dish. It saves the organiser answering questions all morning.
- Order for the number in the room, not the number invited. Our quantities guide has the per-head numbers.
- Book at least 48 hours ahead where you can – that is our standard lead time.
