The catering teams skilfully manage every detail, ensuring that nutritious and diverse food options cater to the distinct needs of each setting. Whether in workplaces, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, or event venues, each meal is an opportunity to showcase our dedication to quality, community involvement, and sustainable practices.

Serving goodness, every day

Our goodness brands prioritises food that positively impacts mood and the way we think. So, not only is the food we serve top quality and packs delicious flavour, but research shows it can also have a positive impact on wellbeing, too.  

In the context of OCS Catering, the importance of gut health, brain food, and a balanced diet is paramount. A balanced diet, rich in essential nutrients, plays a crucial role in maintaining both physical health and cognitive functions. Gut health is linked to overall well-being, as the gut microbiome influences digestion, immunity, and even mood. 

By prioritising gut health, brain food, and balanced nutrition, OCS Catering delivers delicious meals, contributing to individuals’ overall health and productivity in various workplaces and environments.

The delicous coffee brand doing good for communities

Groundhouse is our exclusive, own-brand coffee. We have two exceptional blends. Blend 7 is a 100% Arabica mix from Central and South America and Indonesia, known for its rich, full-bodied taste with hints of caramel and cocoa. Blend 3 offers a robust flavour profile featuring dark chocolate and dried fruit nuances sourced from Fairtrade producers.

Beyond its exquisite taste, Groundhouse makes a significant impact in supporting the communities that cultivate our coffee. Through the Groundhouse Give Back initiative, a portion of each sale is invested back into improving the living standards of coffee growers. The initiative has raised over tens of thousands of pounds, channelling these funds into vital projects like agricultural training and community outreach. This effort enhances food security and reduces living costs for coffee-growing communities. Choosing Groundhouse is more than enjoying a premium coffee; it’s contributing to a meaningful cause.
