Introducing Fold’ems – A new Street-Food Concept Built for the Modern Workplace

A Street-Food Twist Built for the Modern Workplace

The way people eat at work is changing. Today’s corporate workplace demands food that is fast, flavour-led and flexible – without compromising on quality or craft. Responding to these shifting expectations, Angel Hill Food Co. is proud to launch Fold’ems: a bold new sourdough sandwich concept designed for busy workplaces that still crave something exciting.

Fold’ems take the familiarity of pizza dough and reimagine it for the workday. Made using fermented sourdough, baked for flavour and texture, then folded and filled with vibrant, globally inspired ingredients, Fold’ems deliver a filling, satisfying meal that’s easy to eat on the move. They’re built for grab-and-go counters, pop-up activations and high-footfall catering environments where speed, consistency and quality matter equally.

At its heart, Fold’ems is a street-food concept – confident, modern and unpretentious – but carefully engineered for the realities of the corporate workplace.

Built for How People Really Eat at Work

As office attendance patterns continue to evolve, so do expectations around food. Employees want choice, convenience and quality without slowing down their day. Fold’ems answer that need perfectly: compact enough for a quick break, substantial enough to satisfy, and exciting enough to feel like a treat rather than a compromise.

“Fold’ems taps directly into what we’re seeing across the industry,” says Chris Ince, Chef Director at Angel Hill Food Co.

There’s a clear shift towards food that’s fast but still crafted, familiar but elevated. Fermented doughs, bold flavours and street-food influences are all huge right now, particularly in workplace dining. Fold’ems brings all of that together in a format that works operationally and delivers on taste.

The sourdough base provides depth of flavour and texture, while the folded format makes it practical for busy environments. From classic combinations to more adventurous flavour profiles, the menu has been designed to rotate easily, encourage repeat visits and sit comfortably alongside wider workplace food offers.

Innovation Shaped by Chefs, Sites and Customers

Fold’ems wasn’t developed in isolation. From the earliest stages, Angel Hill Food Co.’s culinary team worked closely with site chefs, operational teams and customers. Care was put in to testing, refining and pressure-testing the concept in real workplace environments.

“Fold’ems came from listening,” explains Dan Farrand, the concept’s creator at Angel Hill Food Co.

We involved our site teams and customers throughout the process – from initial tastings to live trials. That feedback shaped everything: the dough, the folding method, the fillings and how it’s served. The aim was to create something genuinely new, but practical, exciting and relevant to the modern workplace.

That collaborative approach ensured Fold’ems delivers not just on creativity, but also on consistency, speed of service and scalability – all critical factors in corporate catering.

A Fresh Addition to the Angel Hill Food Co. Portfolio

Fold’ems reflects Angel Hill Food Co.’s ongoing commitment to innovation, quality and evolving workplace food culture. It complements the brand’s wider focus on flavour-first food, crafted by chefs who understand both culinary trends and operational realities.

Whether served as a lunchtime hero, a mid-afternoon pick-up or part of a rotating street-food offer, Fold’ems brings energy, choice and excitement to workplace dining – proving that fast food at work doesn’t have to feel rushed or ordinary.

Fold’ems is now rolling out across Angel Hill Food Co. sites, bringing a bold new way to eat to workplaces across the UK – for the love of food, folded perfectly.

Shaping Better Food Experiences Through Nutrition

We believe food should do more than fuel the day. It should support wellbeing, productivity and enjoyment — wherever people work, learn or connect. That belief sits at the heart of our approach to Nutrition, Healthy Catering and Workplace Nutrition.

To bring this to life, we spoke with Amy Teichman, our Nutrition and Development Lead, about how Angel Hill Food Co. is reshaping food experiences through evidence-based nutrition, data-led insight and a deep understanding of how people eat today.

Why Nutrition Matters in Modern Catering

Nutrition is no longer a “nice to have”. Across workplaces, education settings and public-facing environments, people expect food that supports both physical and mental well-being – without compromising on taste.

Our role as a caterer has changed,” Amy explains.

“Customers don’t just want great food – they want reassurance. They want to know it’s balanced, responsibly sourced and aligned to how people actually live and work.

This shift has placed Healthy Catering at the centre of service design. From portion balance and ingredient quality to allergen transparency and dietary inclusion, nutrition now underpins every menu decision we make.

Designing Healthy Catering Without Compromise

Healthy Catering shouldn’t feel restrictive or clinical. Our philosophy is simple: nutrition-led food that people genuinely want to eat.

Amy describes the approach as “quietly intentional”:

“We don’t shout about ‘healthy’ on every dish. Instead, we design menus where balance is built in – through cooking methods, recipe development and smart ingredient choices.”

This includes:

  • Naturally balanced menus with a focus on whole ingredients

  • Reduced reliance on ultra-processed foods

  • Thoughtful use of plant-forward dishes alongside quality proteins

  • Clear nutritional consideration without sacrificing flavour or comfort

The result is catering that feels indulgent, familiar and exciting – while still supporting healthier choices every day.

 

Workplace Nutrition: Supporting Performance, Not Just Appetite

The conversation around Workplace Nutrition has evolved rapidly. With hybrid working, changing shift patterns and increased focus on wellbeing, food now plays a critical role in how people perform at work.

“Food impacts energy, concentration and mood more than people realise,” Amy says.

“In workplace environments, nutrition isn’t about restriction – it’s about sustaining people through long days, varied shifts and high-pressure roles.”

Angel Hill Food Co. designs Workplace Nutrition strategies that reflect how different environments operate – from corporate offices and distribution centres to education and high-footfall locations.

This includes:

  • Menus that support sustained energy levels

  • Flexible food offers aligned to working patterns

  • Clear labelling to support informed choice

  • Data-led insights to refine menus over time

By aligning food to the realities of the workplace, we help customers create environments where people feel supported, not slowed down.

Turning Nutritional Insight Into Real-World Impact

What sets Angel Hill Food Co. apart is how nutrition translates into delivery. This isn’t theory – it’s practical, measurable and embedded into day-to-day operations.

Amy highlights the importance of collaboration:

“Nutrition works best when it’s integrated – with chefs, operations teams and customers all aligned. That’s how you move from policy to plate.”

Our teams work closely with customers to ensure nutrition supports wider goals, from wellbeing strategies to sustainability commitments and social value outcomes.

A Nutrition-Led Future for Food at Work

As expectations continue to rise, Angel Hill Food Co. remains committed to leading the way in Nutrition, Healthy Catering and Workplace Nutrition – creating food experiences that are thoughtful, inclusive and genuinely impactful.

Because when food is designed with care, backed by insight and delivered with passion, it does more than feed people.

It helps them thrive.
