At Manchester Catering Company, we’re always looking for new ways to make feeding your team simpler, tastier, and more satisfying. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our brand new Disposable Hot Food Trays — a brilliant addition to any working lunch that takes the hassle out of hot food catering.Whether you’re feeding a small team or a room full of delegates, our hot food trays are designed to deliver exactly what busy workplaces need: proper, hearty food that arrives hot and is ready to serve the moment it lands on your table. No heating required, no mess, no fuss. Just lift the lid and go.What’s on the Menu?We’ve launched three delicious options to kick things off, giving you the flexibility to cater for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.First up is our Beef Chilli or Three Bean Chilli, with Beef or Veggie Lasagna. Comfort food at its finest, this tray gives you the choice of a rich, slow-cooked beef chilli or a hearty three bean version for your veggie guests — alongside a classic lasagna option whether you prefer meat or a fully veggie version. It’s the kind of food that keeps people going through a long afternoon.Next is our Meat Pie or Three Cheese and Onion Tray, with Peas and Pickled Beetroot. There’s something deeply satisfying about a proper pie, and this tray delivers exactly that. The meat pie is a crowd-pleaser for those who love a traditional British classic, while the three cheese and onion option is every bit as indulgent. Paired with peas and tangy pickled beetroot, this is a lunch people will actually look forward to.Finally, for something with a little more warmth and spice, our Chicken or Chickpea, Spinach and Potato Curry with Rice is a fantastic option. The chicken curry is full of flavour and satisfying depth, while the chickpea version ensures your vegetarian and vegan guests are just as well catered for. Served with rice and delivered piping hot, it’s a real lunchtime highlight.Designed for the Working LunchIt’s worth noting that these trays have been specifically designed as a working lunch bowl food option — they’re not the same as our standard hot food menu portions. Think generous, informal, and easy to eat at your desk or in a meeting room. They’re ideal when you want something more substantial than sandwiches but don’t need the full formality of a plated hot food service.Trays are available in sizes to serve 6/8 or 18 people, starting from just £40 — making them excellent value for team lunches, training days, or any workplace gathering where good food matters.Order TodayAdding a Disposable Hot Food Tray to your next working lunch order couldn’t be simpler.
