Food for the days your team is in

Regular Workplace Catering, Without a Kitchen in Your Office

Workplace catering is food your team can count on: breakfast before the first meeting, a proper lunch in the middle of the day, and the occasional pop-up that gets everyone round the same table. We cook everything fresh each morning in our own 5 Star Food Hygiene approved kitchen in London and deliver it to your office, so you get the benefits of a staff canteen without building one or hiring a contract caterer.

Whether your team is in two days a week or five, we plan the food around your office days, your headcount and your budget, with one contact who knows your account.

"Communication was really clear and a very smooth delivery of kit and food. The quality of food and display was raved about in our office all day!"

Thomas Forsyth, office pop-up booking

What we provide

How We Cater for Your Workplace

Mix and match across the week. Most offices start with staff lunches on their busiest days, then add breakfasts, coffee or a monthly pop-up.

Why offices choose it

The Benefits of Workplace Catering

A reason to come in

A good lunch on office days gives people one more reason to choose the office over working from home.

Teams that eat together

Shared lunches and pop-ups get people away from their desks and talking across teams.

Better than the desk sandwich

Balanced Mediterranean food with grains, proteins and fresh salads keeps energy up through the afternoon.

No admin for the office manager

One contact, a plan that repeats, and fewer last-minute lunch runs to organise.

A good first impression

Proper food on the table says a lot to new starters, candidates and visiting clients.

Everyone catered for

Vegan, vegetarian, halal and gluten-free choices every day, with allergen information on every product.

FAQs

Workplace Catering Questions, Answered

What is workplace catering?
Workplace catering is regular food provided for staff at work, such as breakfasts, lunches, coffee and occasional pop-ups. With Route, everything is cooked in our London kitchen and delivered to your office on the days your team is in, so you do not need an on-site kitchen or a contract caterer.
How does Route's workplace catering work?
Tell us how many people you have, which days you are in and any dietary needs. We send sample menus, arrange a tasting if you would like one, and agree a weekly plan with you. Food is then delivered fresh on your chosen days.
How much does workplace catering cost per person?
Individual staff lunches cost £11 to £14 per person. Hot sharing platters for six start at £46, breakfast pots at £3.95 and pop-up days at £18 per person. Delivery is £30 including VAT. We can plan a weekly menu around your budget per head.
Is there a minimum order or team size?
The minimum order is £150 per delivery, which typically covers lunch for around ten people. Pop-up days are for 50 people or more.
Which days can you deliver, and what is the cutoff?
We deliver seven days a week. Order by 3pm for next-day delivery, and by 3pm on Friday for weekend deliveries. Pop-ups and other staffed services need 3 working days' notice.
Can we change numbers from week to week?
Yes. Numbers can change with your office days. Confirm the final count by 3pm the day before each delivery.
Can each person have their own lunch?
Yes. Our lunchboxes are packed individually, so you can order a mix of dishes, including vegan and vegetarian options, and everyone gets their own meal.
How do you handle allergies and dietary needs?
Vegan, vegetarian, halal and gluten-free options are available every day, and allergen information is provided for every product. Our kitchen is 5 Star Food Hygiene approved. Please tell us about any allergies when you order. We handle allergens with care but cannot guarantee a fully allergen-free environment.

Yes. Our chefs can set up a live Mediterranean, Greek street food, BBQ, burrito or salad station in your office for 50 people or more, with 3 working days' notice. See our pop-ups.
How does invoicing work?
Regular workplace catering clients receive one monthly invoice covering all deliveries. One-off orders can be paid online at checkout.
Which areas of London do you cover?
We deliver across London from our own kitchen. For offices outside our standard delivery area, we can arrange delivery on request.
