Dry January — the UK's most popular health behaviour campaign — saw over 9 million UK adults participate in 2025. Combined with Veganuary, new fitness regimens, and general January health intentions, the start of the year produces a workforce genuinely motivated to make healthy changes. Workplace catering that supports these intentions — whole food, vegetable-rich, nutritious — is more aligned with where your team's head is in January than the standard corporate catering default.

January health intentions and workplace food
The research on behaviour change consistently finds that environmental support is the most powerful predictor of sustained behaviour change. A colleague trying Dry January who comes to a workplace stocked with quality nutritious food, with a team lunch built around whole ingredients rather than ultra-processed convenience food, is significantly more likely to sustain their January intentions than one whose work environment actively undermines them.
How quality catering supports Dry January
Dry January is not just about alcohol — it is typically accompanied by broader health intentions around sleep, exercise, and diet. The blood glucose stability that comes from a protein-forward, whole-food team lunch supports the improved energy and mood that Dry January participants typically report in the third and fourth weeks, reinforcing the positive feedback loop that makes January health changes persist beyond February.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for a January healthy team lunch delivery?
The minimum order is £150. Delivery is free on orders over £600. Orders can be placed through the catering shop or by WhatsApp the kitchen. Order by 2pm for next-day delivery Monday to Friday.
Which central London postcodes do you deliver to for January team lunches?
Routine delivery covers EC, WC, W1, W2, NW1, N1, N7 and SE1. Further delivery is available by arrangement. WhatsApp the kitchen with your office postcode if you are unsure whether it falls within the standard delivery area.
Is the food allergen-safe for colleagues with nut allergies or coeliac disease?
The kitchen is 100% nut-free at the structural level — no nuts are present on the premises at all. Over 60% of the menu is gluten-free as standard, and every item carries full Natasha's Law allergen labelling so colleagues can verify their requirements independently.
Is the catering certified halal for our team members who require it?
Yes. The whole kitchen at 42-44 Carter Lane is independently halal-certified through the Halal Friendly List. The certification is not per dish or per item — it covers the entire kitchen, so every order is halal as standard.
How do I set up a regular January catering arrangement for our office?
WhatsApp the kitchen or place orders through the catering shop. Corporate invoice accounts with 30-day payment terms are available for firms wanting a regular weekly arrangement rather than placing individual daily orders. This is the most practical format for a month-long January programme.
