Home / News Articles / Back to the office – what’s for lunch?
Two collegues having lunch time of healthy food in office

22nd July 2021

Back to the office – what’s for lunch?

They called it Freedom Day, and indeed July 19th opened many doors for us and our fellow Brits. We are all fed up of navigating this pandemic, but this little hint of freedom, and a return to the office for many, has brought with it a rethinking of how we spend our day. There are some aspects of being in the office that we love coming back to, but in other areas we’re ready to make lasting change. From home working to our commute and even what we eat, what does the post pandemic world of work look like?

We can’t install air conditioning on your train, we can’t make the guy next to you use deodorant and we certainly can’t stop your chatterbox colleague telling you all about his daughter’s birthday party, but we can ease your return with some ideas about the thing we know and love best. Food.

Many of us have changed our habits and ideas throughout the pandemic. Maybe you’re trying to shift some excess lockdown weight, or maybe you’re saving money in case of another unexpected seismic world event, but either way, restaurant lunches out could be a thing of the past, or at least partly.

Bringing lunch from home is a practical, healthy and money saving strategy. You may be back in the office full time, or you could be part of a new hybrid working scenario, where you still work some days from home, but either way, it’s important to plan your meals to stay healthy and save money.

At Quattro we cater for all types of dining, including food on the go. We’re a busy bunch and we know how hard it can be to get lunch at the office just right. You want to take a decent break and enjoy a filling tasty meal but you’re limited with the office utensils and plates, with only a microwave and kettle for heating things up.

How about some soup? It’s a brilliantly healthy and delicious way to keep hunger at bay for the afternoon. Our range includes:

  • Gorgonzola & broccoli soup
  • Smokey aubergine soup
  • Autumnal minestrone
  • Tomato & basil soup
  • Vegan corn chowder
  • Chicken noodle soup
  • Spring vegetable minestrone

People can be snobby about microwaves but they are an excellent vehicle for creating a fairly sophisticated packed lunch. If you bring a Quattro meal from home, decant it onto a plate and warm it for the right length of time, you will be the envy of colleagues with a tasty, aromatic meal that offers so much more than you ever imagined you’d get from a packed lunch. Try from our delicious international range: 

  • Vegan mac & cheese
  • Korean chicken
  • Moong dhal
  • Coronation chickpea
  • Mushroom risotto
  • Bang bang chicken
  • Balinese chicken
  • Vegetable chilli
  • Chilli chicken
  • Teriyaki vegetable stew
  • Bolognese
  • Beef chilli
  • Chicken fajita
  • Katsu chicken curry
  • Katsu vegetable curry
  • Halal meatball in tomato sauce
  • Chicken tikka masala
  • Chana masala
  • Sweet & sour vegetables
  • Sweet & sour chicken
  • Katsu chicken & vegetable curry

So, for a lunch that gets the office tongues wagging, call on Quattro.
