In the restaurant, lunchtimes have a new menu which features homemade soup,
a choice of hot dishes included calorie counted healthier selections, filled jacket potatoes and speciality sandwiches. Customers are also offered breakfast specials, regular promotions and the company’s popular loyalty scheme.

Steve Williams, Supply Chain VP of Claire’s Europe praised 7 Day Catering for the great work and said that “everyone is pleased with the way the transition has gone and have commented on the food being much better.”

He added: ” I know the catering team can often feel like they are under-valued in this business, because it’s one of those areas which people just take for granted.
However, 7 Day Catering are very valued - the service, smiling and laughing demeanour serve as a real antidote when people are having a tough day in the office.”
