Workplace Catering Trends: Inside TASTE Spring Summer by The Good Eating Company

Recently, we launched TASTE Spring/Summer, the first in a new series of seasonal food forums delivered in collaboration with Fooditude. The evening brought our culinary teams, clients and supplier partners together at the Business Design Centre to unveil a fresh wave of concepts shaping the future of workplace catering across our London sites.

It was an evening that celebrated the very best in food and drink, rooted in craft, conversation and curiosity. And much like every good menu, it left us with plenty to talk about.

Curious about how workplace dining is evolving in 2026? What’s driving the shift towards sustainable and experience-led food in the workplace? Here’s a snapshot of what stood out.

Why Seasonal Workplace Catering Matters in 2026

Seasonality on a workplace menu is about staying relevant and aligned with workplace sustainability goals.

The best workplace caterers use seasonal menus to shape workplace culture, support employee wellbeing, and give teams a real reason to come into the office. For us at The Good Eating Company, seasonality is the starting point of every menu. It's how we let the produce do the talking and let our chefs do what they do best.

Here’s what are teams will be leaning into for the months ahead

Customisable Bowls Built Around the Guest

The biggest shift we're seeing in everyday workplace dining is a move towards flexibility. People want lunch that fits how they're eating today and not a fixed plate decided weeks in advance.

That's the thinking behind Kope, our new bowl-led concept. Kope brings vibrant, balanced ingredients together in a way that lets guests build their own combinations. From honey sesame salmon to pulled yuzu chicken, layered with fresh grains, slaws and dressings.

It's a nutritious, adaptable bowl that fits into a busy workday without ever feeling repetitive.
