We bring exceptional culinary creativity and flair, style and hospitality to employee restaurants, cafes and executive dining rooms.

During our last event we explored the Future of Food and Work with a focus on people, health and wellbeing. Talking about how we can build resilience by connecting with others in the workplace, and how this can happen in a post-Covid world. Recently, Birkbeck University Organisational Psychology department published a guide to Managing your Wellbeing at Work. In it, giving back is highlighted as an important factor in wellbeing. Giving back makes us feel good. It’s something we’ve seen much more of in recent months with a stronger sense of community as we’ve been donating to food banks, shopping for neighbours and supporting local businesses. With this in mind, we are shifting our focus to looking at purpose and sustainability, and how they are connected to our health and wellbeing at work.

The current crisis has prompted many of us to revaluate and reassess: to look at again at what we take for granted, and what we really depend on.

There’s a new appreciation of the true value of ‘health and wellbeing’. It defines our family life, underpins our work life, and drives our productivity – personally and economically. 

What we eat and how we eat are major factors. Food can boost energy levels and bolster immune systems. Shopping, cooking and eating together can strengthen social ties and support good mental health.

That’s just as true in business as it is at home. We will spend 40 years or more in work, visiting the workplace 9,000 times. Which means the staff restaurant is about more than a quick bite: it has the potential to make a real difference, for colleagues, and the bottom line. And it means we have an opportunity as an employer and as the UK’s leading foodservice company to improve life outcomes.

At Eurest, we’ve always understood the power of food. We want to encourage and enable the people we feed, in workplaces across the UK, to live heather, happier lives. We’ve brought together a panel of experts, to help us think about the role of food and beverage in the workplace, in whatever guise that is.
