Simply Lunch was founded in 2000 by Charlie Green with the aim of improving the quality of food available in UK workplaces. At the time, many office catering options were dominated by low-quality, mass-produced meals that prioritised convenience over nutrition and taste. The founder recognised an opportunity to deliver fresher, better-balanced food that suited the needs of busy professionals without sacrificing quality or consistency.
From the outset, Simply Lunch focused on operational discipline and menu quality. The business developed streamlined systems to deliver freshly prepared lunches at scale while maintaining reliable standards across client sites. This balance between efficiency and food quality became a defining strength, allowing the company to serve corporate environments where reliability, timing and consistency were critical.
As demand grew, Simply Lunch expanded beyond London into other regions, serving large offices and business hubs across the UK. Growth was supported by investment in supply chains, kitchen operations and logistics, ensuring that expansion did not compromise standards. The company also responded to changing workplace expectations by adapting menus to include healthier options, dietary requirements and seasonal variation.
A significant milestone in the company’s journey came when Simply Lunch became part of the Bartlett Mitchell group. This integration provided additional scale, resources and infrastructure while allowing the brand to retain its identity and operational focus. The move supported national expansion and strengthened Simply Lunch’s position within the competitive workplace catering sector.
Today, Simply Lunch is recognised as a trusted provider of corporate catering services across the UK. Its success reflects a clear understanding of workplace needs, disciplined execution and a commitment to consistent quality. By focusing on dependable delivery and evolving customer expectations, Simply Lunch has built a resilient brand that continues to serve modern workplaces effectively.
