For many professionals, the middle of the day arrives faster than expected. Meetings pile up, emails need replies, and projects compete for attention. In all that chaos, the lunch break is often the first thing to get pushed aside. Yet studies continue to prove that stepping away from your desk and fueling your body with a proper meal is essential for productivity, health, and happiness.
At Fresh Works Holme, we believe lunch is not a luxury—it is a necessity. Our menu is designed to give busy professionals quick, satisfying, and energizing meals that fit seamlessly into even the busiest schedules. Whether you are grabbing a quick sandwich before your next meeting or ordering catering for your entire team, we make lunchtime effortless and enjoyable.
Why Lunch Breaks Really Matter
There is a growing body of evidence that shows why lunch breaks are critical for both individuals and organizations. According to the Harvard Business Review in its article Take Your Lunch Break, employees who step away from work to eat report better focus, improved performance, and less stress throughout the day. The research highlights that a simple act—like taking 30 minutes to eat—helps people return to tasks with sharper attention and more creativity.
Similarly, Keches Law notes in Why Lunch Breaks Matter in the Workplace that breaks are essential for physical health, particularly in preventing burnout and maintaining long-term productivity. They stress that employees who prioritize their lunch breaks often make better decisions, collaborate more effectively, and even reduce the risk of workplace accidents.
For busy professionals, lunch is more than a meal—it is a reset button. And Fresh Works Holme is here to provide the fuel you need for that reset.

How Food Impacts Afternoon Productivity
Lunch is not just about quieting hunger—it impacts how you perform for the rest of the day. Choose a heavy, greasy meal and you might feel sluggish and unfocused. But pick a balanced option, like a wrap with lean protein and a side of fruit or vegetables, and you will have steady energy to power through the afternoon.
Nutrition experts often highlight the importance of mixing protein, carbs, and fats for stable energy. That is why so many Fresh Works Holme meals are built with this balance in mind. A hoagie offers protein from meats, carbs from fresh-baked rolls, and healthy fats from cheese and dressing. A salad with grilled chicken gives you lean protein alongside fiber and vitamins. Even our cheesesteaks, when paired with a side salad, can provide a well-rounded lunch that is both indulgent and energizing.
Stories from Busy Professionals
We regularly hear from customers who rely on Fresh Works Holme to make their workdays easier. One local sales manager told us, “I used to skip lunch and just power through my day, but I found myself crashing by 3 p.m. Now, every Wednesday, I grab a turkey club from Fresh Works Holme, and it makes a huge difference in my energy levels.”
Another customer, an accountant from a nearby office, shared: “Our team has client meetings almost every week, and we used to waste time debating where to order from. Now we just order hoagie trays from Fresh Works Holme. Everyone’s happy, and it saves us time and stress.”
These stories show how lunch is more than a meal—it is part of a successful work routine.

Our hoagie and wrap trays give you a variety of flavors in one order, while cheesesteak boxes offer individually portioned meals that keep things neat. Add sides like chips, fries, or salads, and you have a spread that appeals to every palate.
