Corporate culture is changing fast—and so is lunch. Across Southport, forward-thinking businesses are swapping meal deals and stale sandwiches for vibrant, locally catered lunches that bring teams together and make every day a little more delicious.

At Wild Truffle Catering, we’ve seen a surge in bookings for staff lunches from Southport companies, from small startups to large regional offices. Here’s why this trend is growing—and how your workplace can benefit too.

1. It Boosts Morale Without Breaking the Bank

Nothing brings people together like good food. Offering a catered lunch shows appreciation and creates a shared moment of downtime—without the expense of a night out or off-site event.

Popular choices: Hot buffet dishes, fresh salads, or boxed artisan sandwiches.
Style tip: Keep it casual with drop-off catering or level up with a styled buffet setup.

2. It Supports Southport’s Local Economy

Booking local caterers keeps money in the community. It supports local chefs, producers, and hospitality teams—and often results in better service and fresher ingredients.

Fun fact: Many local caterers source produce from Lancashire farms and regional suppliers.

3. More Customisation, Less Hassle

Unlike high-street chains, local caterers can tailor menus to fit dietary needs, budgets, and event formats.

We’ve created everything from vegan mezze platters to build-your-own bao buns.

4. It’s a Conversation Starter

Whether it’s themed taco Tuesdays or a Scouse & Sliders day, a creative lunch can spark team conversations and improve workplace culture.

Presentation ideas: Use bold signage, rustic crates, or even mini grazing boards for each desk.

5. Time-Saving for Office Managers

Working with a trusted caterer like Wild Truffle means no juggling five lunch orders or worrying about allergies—just one smooth delivery with everything handled.

6. Perfect for Hybrid or Remote Teams

Catered lunches help make office days something to look forward to. For hybrid teams, they encourage more face-to-face time without the formality of structured meetings.

7. Elevates Internal Events

Planning a workshop, training session or internal launch? Adding a professionally catered lunch makes it feel like a premium experience.

8. Eco-Conscious Options Available

Southport businesses are increasingly sustainability-focused. We offer compostable packaging, meat-free menus, and locally sourced dishes to help reduce environmental impact.

9. Encourages Staff Retention

Perks like quality lunches can play a surprising role in employee satisfaction. A well-fed team is a happier, more productive team.

10. Food is Just Fun

Let’s be honest: people get excited about good food. It adds energy to the office, shows you care, and creates moments that matter.
