In 2025, corporate catering planning will do more than serve food. The goal is to help everyone join in and feel happy during the meal. These get-togethers want to show who all are there, look after the earth, and help people remember the day. Workplaces have people from all kinds of backgrounds. A lot of people want to eat good food. Many people care about what they pick to eat. Catering teams have to help with all this. They have to offer foods and services that keep all food needs in mind and make sure everyone gets what they want.

This is true whether you plan a lunch for your team, a big office party, or any event catering in London. Here is a simple guide to help you plan work catering that is good for all people and fits what we need now and in the future.

The year-end office lunch is more than just a meal; it’s a moment of collective cheer, a shared sigh of relief after a year of hard work, and a powerful way to say thank you to your team. But in the ever-evolving landscape of modern workplaces, the standard festive platter just won't cut it anymore. Today's office lunch has to be flexible, inclusive, and, above all, an unforgettable experience.
As London’s leading corporate caterers for over 50 years, we at Owen Brothers Catering have seen it all. We’ve watched the trends shift from formal sit-downs to relaxed buffets, and now, in 2025, we’re witnessing a new era of corporate dining. This year, the focus is on celebrating individuality, embracing sustainability, and using food to build a stronger, more connected team.
So, as you start planning, let us be your guide. We'll show you how to navigate the new trends and curate a Christmas lunch that your team will talk about long after the decorations are packed away.

The pumpkin spice lattes are back, the air is getting crisp, and a certain spooky energy is starting to buzz through London. It can only mean one thing: it’s time to start planning your office Halloween party.
But let's be honest, Halloween catering has a reputation for being a bit… well, cheesy. Think plastic skeletons on uninspired platters, bowls of cheap sweets, and food that is more about the gimmick than the flavor. Londoners, with our famously discerning palates, deserve better. We want a celebration that’s as sophisticated as it is spooky, as delicious as it is devilish.
That's where Owen Brothers Catering comes in. We’re here to show you that a Halloween feast can be a creative, high-quality culinary experience that delights and surprises your team. It's about turning the familiar into the fantastic, and crafting a menu that’s so good, it’s scary.
This is your ultimate guide to planning the most talked-about Halloween lunch or party of the year, filled with menu ideas Londoners

The festive season is upon us, and with it, the age-old office party planning ritual begins. You’ve sent the invitations, secured the venue, and now you’re faced with the most crucial question of all: "What on earth do we feed everyone?" The days of a single, one-size-fits-all Christmas menu are long gone. Today's corporate landscape is wonderfully diverse, and so are our teams' dietary needs.
You’ve got your die-hard meat-eaters, your committed plant-based colleagues, the health-conscious vegetarians, and those with specific dietary restrictions like gluten intolerance. The thought of trying to please everyone can feel like a logistical nightmare, a puzzle with a dozen missing pieces.
But what if we told you, it's not a puzzle, but an opportunity? An opportunity to show your team that you truly see and value every single one of them. At Owen Brothers Catering, we believe that an inclusive menu is the cornerstone of a truly modern and compassionate company culture. We’ve spent years perfecting
