Corporate Catering for the second half of 2025

Corporate Catering for the second half of 2025

Corporate catering is no longer about bland sandwich platters and lukewarm tea. As businesses compete to attract and retain talent, impress clients, and host meaningful events, expectations around catering have shifted dramatically. In 2025, the UK is seeing a wave of innovation in how food is presented, served, and celebrated in the workplace.

Here are the top five trends that are reshaping the way we cater to corporate audiences—and how Salters Events is leading the charge.

Health-Conscious Catering

Wellbeing is no longer a footnote—it’s a central feature. Companies are opting for menus rich in plant-based ingredients, whole grains, and low-sugar options that support concentration and energy throughout the day. Think beetroot quinoa bowls, turmeric roast cauliflower, and fresh-pressed juices replacing sugary soft drinks.

Salters Events works with nutrition-aware chefs to ensure your menu is delicious and balanced, fuelling productivity without compromising on flavour.

Sustainability Is Non-Negotiable

Clients and employees are increasingly aware of environmental impact. Sustainable catering has become a must-have, not a nice-to-have. That means using local and seasonal produce, compostable packaging, minimising food waste, and aligning with green suppliers.

We’re proud to work with ethical producers, source locally wherever possible, and provide clear labelling around origin and sustainability practices.

Stylish Simplicity Over Theatre

While interactive stations have their place, many corporate clients now prefer elegant, fuss-free presentations that allow for smooth service and minimal disruption to the event flow. Think refined grazing tables, beautifully presented canapé trays, and curated buffets designed to impress without being overbearing.

At Salters Events, we focus on seamless service that complements—not competes with—the purpose of your event.

Familiar Dishes, Elevated

There’s a renewed appreciation for comforting favourites done exceptionally well. From artisan sausage rolls to smoked salmon blinis with dill crème fraîche, the focus is on simple dishes crafted with care and top-quality ingredients.

We design menus that feel accessible yet refined, offering familiar flavours with a Salters twist—ideal for diverse corporate audiences.

Consistency and Professionalism

With tighter schedules and higher expectations, businesses value caterers who deliver consistently high standards, every time. Prompt communication, immaculate presentation, and discreet, efficient staff are all part of the service.

At Salters Events, we pride ourselves on attention to detail, from arrival to pack-down, making us a trusted partner for high-profile and repeat corporate bookings.

Where Innovation Meets Impact

Corporate catering is evolving fast—and at Salters Events, we’re evolving with it. Whether you're planning an all-hands meeting, client reception, or celebration, we’re here to help you create something fresh, thoughtful and on-brand.

We’d love to discuss designing a menu that reflects your company’s values, impresses your guests, and keeps your team energised.
