eatlunch.co.uk launches message in a bottle campaign

Say no to plastic bottles

The health of our Customers, staff and also our environment has always been at the centre of everything that we do, and we have become increasingly concerned by the amount of plastic packaging that our society disposes of.
One way we feel that we can have a positive impact on this global problem, is to offer our regular Customers the option of ordering stylish, reusable glass bottles instead of plastic bottles of water.
We also hope to add some lovely cordials to our range soon - so if you want your buffet to look even better on your boardroom table AND also do a bit more for our environment, then join our
Message in a Bottle Campaign. Call Ian or Peter on 01707 323208 for more information.

Eatlunch opens cafe in Stevenage

Eatlunch has opened the doors on its first cafe project at the impressive new Stevenage Business & Technology Centre (btc).

The btc is run by Wenta and has just benefited from a £7 million extension that was funded by Stevenage Borough Council, the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) and the Local Government Communities Fund. The centre is located on Gunnels Wood Road and provides a great space as well as support services to help start-up companies, as well as a superb meeting and conference facility for any other local business.

At the centre of the new extension is the eatlunch cafe, which provides a convenient space (in-door and out-door courtyard) to meet with colleagues, customers and suppliers, whilst enjoying a cappuccino and a panini, or a convenient way to grab a quick snack from our chillers or vending machine.

For more information on booking a meeting room of conference suite or to enquire about becoming a tenant, contact btc on 0845 0780700 or e-mail info@btcstevenage.co.uk

We hope to see you for a coffee soon.

Eatlunch teams up with Noel Edmunds to lend a hand

Eatlunch teamed up with Noel Edmonds and his ‘feel good’ programme ‘Noel’s H.Q. on Sky 1’ to deliver hot meals to the senior residents in the Woodside Care Home at Campus West in Welwyn Garden City.
Noel’s programme wants to “make a difference to Britain” by involving companies and the public in demonstrating acts of kindness”. When he heard about the ‘Meals on Wheels’ service being unable to bring food to the seniors he wanted to do something about it.
Managing Director, Ian White said, “We were really happy for our ‘Eatlunch’ brand to get involved with Noel to get hot meals to the Care Home.  We had read about the ‘Meals on Wheels’ service not being able to make it through the snow to some seniors and hoped we might be able help out. We have always felt it important to be involved in the local community and this was a great opportunity to contribute.”
The Woodside residents were surprised on 5th February with a hot lunch of Shepherd’s pie and fresh vegetables followed by chocolate bread and butter pudding and cream. ‘Eatlunch’ supplied all the food and it was prepared on-site by their Head Chef, Dan Kempson.
Programme presenter, Gaby Roslin and celebrity chef Nancy Lam were on hand to ensure that proceedings went with a swing. Russ Pinder entertained everyone after lunch with a selection of all the old songs which were popular at the time of the Second World War.  


Barbara Carpenter, Scheme Manager at Woodside said, “It really was a great fun day, very unexpected and much appreciated by everyone. It cheered up a very dull day and made a real difference. It was good to see everyone working together to give our residents this special day.”
