In 2025, a plate of soggy triangles and a few lukewarm spring rolls just won’t cut it anymore.
Whether it’s a staff workshop, a boardroom lunch or campus morning tea, teams are craving more than just convenience. They want flavour. Freshness. And food that actually fuels them through high-stress, high-impact days.
At LifeGrain, we’ve been paying attention. Here’s what the savviest teams across hospital campuses are ordering and why our catering menu is quietly transforming how events are done.
🥗 1. The Rise of the “Wholesome Platter”
The most requested orders this year? Our Gourmet Sandwiches and Wraps and Finger Sandwiches, Classic or Vegetarian. But they’re not your average carb bombs. Packed with high-quality proteins, whole ingredients, and gluten-free options, these platters are portioned to satisfy without the post-lunch slump.
👩⚕️ Hot Tip: Customers love our “All Vegetarian” boxes for their inclusivity – no one’s left out at the table.
🧀 2. Cheese Is Having a Moment
Forget plastic cheese cubes on toothpicks. Our Cheese Platter, Regular or GF/Vegetarian options are crowd-pleasers that elevate any meeting without overpowering it. They’re a go-to for those who want something a little indulgent but still refined.
✔️ Pairs perfectly with: Sparkling water, fresh fruit, and that 3pm “we’re-almost-done” energy.
🍱 3. Individual Boxes Are the New Black
Post-COVID, hygiene and convenience are still king. Enter our Scrumptious Individual Boxes, tailoured with options like gluten-free inclusions for seamless catering that’s both safe and stylish. Great for trainings, mobile teams, or anything off-site.
🛎 No queues, no cross-contamination, no complaints.
🥐 4. Morning Tea Is No Longer an Afterthought
Once a filler between meetings, Morning & Afternoon Tea boxes are now curated like art. Think flaky pastries, energy-boosting bites, and seasonal sweets made to impress even the pickiest eater. It’s about how people feel when they gather, not just what’s on the plate.
🧠 Leaders know: a great morning tea boosts morale, mood and motivation.
🚛 5. Smart Logistics = Event-Day Peace of Mind
LifeGrain’s catering is available within the hospitals and campuses we operate in, and for orders $60 and up, delivery is free. Cost centre allocation is seamless (we’re NSW Health Approved), so ordering is not only easy, it’s accountable.
🕒 Order online. We prep, pack, and deliver – no micromanaging needed.
