You do not need a large party, private venue or complicated buffet to give a small office team a proper Christmas lunch.
For teams of roughly five to 20 people, the most effective option is often freshly prepared catering delivered directly to the workplace.
It keeps the day simple, avoids travel time and gives colleagues the chance to celebrate together without losing an entire afternoon.
For a Team of Around Eight
An eight-sandwich Christmas platter is a natural starting point for a smaller office.
Choose the Traditional Christmas Sandwich Platter with turkey, sage, onion and cranberry stuffing mayonnaise, the dedicated vegetarian Brie platter or a mixed bloomer platter with varied festive fillings.
If you would like drinks included, the Christmas Bloomer Sandwich Platter with Mulled Wine combines eight festive sandwiches with a flask of mulled wine for £50.
For Teams with Different Break Times
Individual Christmas lunches work better when colleagues cannot all stop at the same time.
Santa’s Working Lunch starts from £10.20 per person,
Simply Christmas in a Box provides a dedicated vegetarian meal for £10,
and the Christmas Hearty Lunch offers a more substantial option for £11.50.
The lunches can be handed out individually, placed in separate meeting rooms or kept organised for staggered staff breaks.
For a More Festive Table
Small extras can make an ordinary lunch feel more like a Christmas event.
Add dusted mince pies for £1.20 each,
a box of 12 Christmas cupcakes for £24
or warming mulled wine.
Christmas plates, napkins and crackers are already included with the Christmas Hearty Lunch.
Remember Dietary Requirements
Ask the team about dietary and allergen requirements before placing the order.
A dedicated vegetarian platter and vegetarian lunch box are available, while vegan, halal, gluten-free and other requirements should be discussed in advance.
Giving complete information at the time of ordering allows separate meals to be confirmed, prepared and clearly identified.
Book Before the Popular Dates Fill
Smaller orders may be easier to accommodate than a very large event, but December delivery routes still fill quickly.
Choose your date early, collect final numbers and dietary information, then place the order once those details are confirmed.
