A Guide to Gluten-Free Corporate Catering — Delicious Options That Everyone Can Enjoy
Planning corporate catering means balancing dietary needs, tastes, and preferences — and one of the most common requests we see at Double Puc Catering is for gluten-free options.
Whether it’s a coeliac diagnosis, gluten sensitivity, or simply health-conscious eating, more teams are asking for thoughtful gluten-free menus — not just the “free-from” version of something else, but food that’s naturally gluten-free and packed with flavour.
Here’s your guide to gluten-free corporate catering — plus how Double Puc helps Bristol businesses fuel their teams while keeping everyone included and well-fed.
✅ Why Gluten-Free Catering Matters More Than Ever
1 in 100 people in the UK has coeliac disease
1 in 5 people now chooses to reduce gluten for health reasons
Many experience mild sensitivity or discomfort after eating gluten
For corporate events, meetings, and team lunches, offering proper gluten-free choices isn’t optional anymore — it’s just good hospitality.
✅ What Makes Great Gluten-Free Corporate Catering?
The best gluten-free menus aren’t just about avoiding bread and pasta — they’re about serving food that: ✅ Feels inclusive (not an “alternative”)
✅ Is full of flavour, texture, and colour
✅ Offers balanced nutrition — protein, carbs, and veg
✅ Is clearly labelled for safety and confidence
At Double Puc, we create menus where everyone eats the same delicious food, with gluten-free choices built-in — not bolted on.
✅ Naturally Gluten-Free Heroes for Corporate Menus
Here are some of the most popular gluten-free items we serve — perfect for corporate settings from boardroom breakfasts to grazing lunches:
🍳 Frittata — The Unsung Catering Hero
Made with free-range eggs, vegetables, herbs, and cheese
Naturally gluten-free, packed with protein
Easy to slice and serve cold — perfect for buffets or working lunches
Endless flavour options — from roast Mediterranean veg to smoked salmon & dill
Frittatas are a Double Puc favourite because they tick every box — filling, nutritious, portable, and completely free from gluten without compromising on taste.
🥗 Seasonal Salads — Colourful, Fresh, and Filling
Forget limp side salads — we’re talking about hearty, meal-worthy bowls:
Quinoa, roasted veg, and feta
New potato, green beans, and mustard dressing
Grilled chicken Caesar (without the croutons)
Bean and lentil salads for vegan protein
Salads are perfect for: ✅ Corporate lunches
✅ Networking events
✅ Healthy afternoon refuels
They’re naturally gluten-free, easy to label, and create beautiful, colourful platters that appeal to everyone — not just gluten-free diners.
🧀 Cheese Boards, Charcuterie, and Grazing Tables
Another brilliant gluten-free option for more informal settings:
Cheeses, cold meats, seasonal fruit
Crudités and gluten-free crackers
Dips like hummus, tzatziki, and tapenade
These flexible grazing spreads are ideal for summer events, team socials, or client meetings where you want easy-going food that still feels premium.
🍗 Proteins and Sides
Naturally gluten-free main options also include:
Roast chicken pieces
Smoked salmon
Grilled halloumi
Roasted seasonal vegetables
Herb potatoes or wild rice salads
The key? Avoid hidden gluten in sauces, marinades, and dressings — something we manage carefully with clear labelling and chef prep at Double Puc.
✅ Breakfast Ideas — Going Beyond Pastries
Breakfast meetings or morning sessions? We suggest:
Frittata slices
Greek yogurt pots with berry compote
Fruit platters
Gluten-free granola
Bacon or sausage (gluten-free) with hash browns
You don’t need to rely on croissants or bagels — there are plenty of ways to fuel the morning gluten-free.
