Spooky Breakfast Ideas for Your Office Halloween Morning

A Breakfast Sharing Platter already gives you the ingredients for a relaxed office spread. Owen Brothers' platter includes demi-filled croissants, mini Danish pastries, fresh fruit salads, seasonal berry granola pots and fresh fruit skewers. 

For Halloween, give it a suitably mysterious name: the Graveyard Grazing Platter. 

Add small Halloween food labels, dark serving boards and a few subtle decorations around the platter. You could even use little signs such as "Berry Bog", "Ghostly Croissants" and "Monster Danish". 

The food remains familiar. The experience feels completely different.

Mini Danish pastries are practically made for Halloween. 

Place them together on a serving tray and add small edible eyes or simple Halloween-themed toppers. The result is a tray of mini monster pastries that looks playful without requiring elaborate food preparation. 

They also work well for offices because guests can take one while grabbing coffee, rather than needing plates and cutlery. 

Halloween food does not have to mean sugar. 

Owen Brothers' Vegan Power Breakfast Sharing Platter is vegan, vegetarian and dairy-free, with halal suitability indicated on the menu, making it a useful starting point for a more inclusive office spread. 

Give it the Halloween treatment with the name Witch's Power Platter and dark serving boards or orange-and-black table details. 

It is a good reminder that a Halloween breakfast for work can still include nutritious choices rather than becoming a morning entirely devoted to pastries and sweets.

There is an easy Halloween visual hiding in plain sight: the croissant. 

Owen Brothers' Croissant Au Beurre Selection and mini croissants can become crescent moon croissants with almost no fuss. Arrange them in a curved formation on a dark platter, add a few small decorative stars around the tray and you have a simple celestial Halloween theme. 

The same approach works with the French Pastry Selection. Instead of covering everything in themed decorations, let the shape, arrangement and servingware do most of the work.

Healthy breakfast options can still join the fun. 

Owen Brothers offers a selection of healthy granola pots, including seasonal berry, honey, strawberry, and banana and honey variations. 

Call them Swamp Granola Pots and serve them alongside dark berries and fruit for a more atmospheric look. A small Halloween label is often enough to create the theme without changing the food itself. 

For a workplace breakfast, this balance is useful. Some people will reach for a pastry, while others want yoghurt, fruit and granola before a morning of meetings.

Fresh fruit is another easy way to bring Halloween colours to the table. 

Use orange and yellow fruit on skewers to create the look of traditional candy corn. Owen Brothers already offers fresh fruit skewers and fruit platters, making this a straightforward addition to a breakfast spread. 

The result is colourful, fresh and considerably lighter than a table full of sweets.

Pastries alone might not be enough to sustain your team through a marathon meeting. 

Owen Brothers will gladly whip up hot scrambled egg baps, hot sausage baps, hot bacon rolls and even a Breakfast Bap, as well as a full English Breakfast. 

Mix a hot option with pastries, fruit and coffee for a hearty office Halloween breakfast. Guests can pick between grabbing a quick pastry or sitting down for a full meal, without overwhelming your menu. 

Plus coffee and tea can fit the theme too. Serve black coffee and use pumpkin-coloured napkins and little Halloween decorations to spruce up your morning drink station.

Start by working out your headcount, delivery time and dietary requirements. Then choose a combination of sharing platters, pastries, fruit, hot breakfast items and drinks that suits the length and purpose of your morning. 

Orders for corporate catering should be made 24-48 hours in advance where possible. Larger or more complex functions will require additional notice. Some level of same-day ordering will be accommodated based on stock. 

Allergy advice and other dietary requirements including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and halal can be catered for. The office catering team at Owen Brothers ask that you let them know in advance and they will do their best to find a solution. 

Owen Brothers offer office catering throughout London, with delivery times tailored to your office hours and needs.

Let’s face it. An enjoyable office party doesn’t have to take up the entire work day. 

Often it’s just a tray of warm croissants, fresh berries, great coffee and maybe a few playful sprinkles of Halloweeniness as your team walk in the door.
