Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday, 31 October, which creates a small problem for anyone organising an office celebration. Saturday is not a UK bank holiday, but it is not exactly prime time for getting colleagues together at work either.
For most London businesses, the sensible date will be Friday 30 October or another day during the week of 26 to 30 October. That means your Halloween catering may need booking before you have even finished deciding whether Gary from accounts is dressing up as a vampire again.
This blog covers practical Halloween office catering ideas for London teams, from simple drop-off grazing spreads to generous buffet-style celebrations, with flexible options for different budgets, headcounts and dietary requirements.
