· Attraction - the workers of the future expect inclusive food, drink and experiences,
· Retention – friendships at work strengthen employee wellbeing,
· Engagement – the environment must be right or happiness at work falls to 17%,
· Productivity - sociable moments ignite productivity and attract future leaders,
· Diversity in the workforce is greater than it has ever been – culturally, ethnically, generationally. We provide delicious food that caters for all dietary requirements and with suitable choice for everyone.

Great foodservice helps to create great workplaces that attract and retain the best people and promote employee wellbeing. We provide a wide range of food offers, from breakfast, lunch and dinner in our restaurants to meeting hospitality and fine dining for functions and events. Whatever the occasion, we pride ourselves on serving freshly cooked, beautifully presented dishes made using high quality ingredients.
