Proven, Trusted, Accredited

Catering teams follow recognised food safety standards and complete specialist training to keep every kitchen safe and every service consistent. Independent checks, audited processes and well established practice ensure confidence in quality, safety and day to day performance across all settings.

Serving Goodness Every Day

Food can influence mood, energy and the way people feel throughout the day. Catering teams focus on dishes that taste great and also support wellbeing through balanced nutrition.

The principles behind gut health, brain supportive food and steady energy are reflected in the way menus are planned. A varied diet with the right nutrients helps both physical health and cognitive function, and the gut plays a central role in everything from digestion to immunity and mood.

By focusing on good nutrition and thoughtful menu design, catering colleagues serve food that supports health and productivity across workplaces, education, healthcare and wider environments.

Crafted Coffee That Supports Communities

Small batch, slow roasted coffee brings the spirit of independent coffee culture into workplaces and shared spaces. Groundhouse can be served by baristas or as a self serve option, with two distinctive blends sourced from ethical growers.

Each blend is raised with care by farming communities who rely on stable, sustainable production. Through the Groundhouse Give Back Programme, part of every sale is invested directly into these communities. Funding supports practical needs such as agricultural training, community projects and improvements to everyday living conditions.

Every cup reflects thoughtful sourcing, skilled roasting and a commitment to the people who grow the beans. Coffee that tastes good and does good.

Sustainable Catering

Ethical sourcing, carbon conscious cooking and responsible operations shape the way catering teams design and deliver food. Ingredients come from trusted farms and local producers, with animal welfare and sustainable growing at the forefront. Each dish is created with care for people, communities and the planet.

Recipes are developed to cut carbon while keeping flavour at the centre. Initiatives such as the Big Carbon Kick Out have already removed more than 85000 kg of CO₂e through smarter menu choices and reimagined classics.

Sustainable kitchens, eco friendly packaging and efficient logistics all play a part in reducing impact across catering services. Every meal supports a more mindful workplace and contributes to long term environmental goals.
