The Big Lunch is a nationwide initiative built around a simple idea: bringing people together over food. First launched in 2009 by the Eden Project, the campaign was created to encourage stronger communities by inspiring neighbours, friends, and colleagues to sit down, share a meal, and connect with one another.

Over the years, The Big Lunch has grown into one of the UK’s biggest annual community events, with millions of people taking part through street parties, garden lunches, workplace gatherings, and shared meals. While the event originally focused on neighbourhood communities, the same idea translates perfectly into modern workplaces, where food often becomes the centre of team connection and conversation.
