Did You Know? The Science (and Magic) of Sharing Food

Did You Know? The Science (and Magic) of Sharing Food

Did you know that sharing food doesn’t just fill your stomach, it actually boosts your happiness and strengthens bonds? Science says that eating together triggers the release of oxytocin, the “bonding hormone” that makes people feel closer, more trusting, and connected.


Think about it: when was the last time you enjoyed a meal alone and remembered it as fondly as that picnic by the lake with your friends, or that office lunch where everyone laughed so hard someone spilled their drink? Those moments stick with us and the secret ingredient isn’t just the food itself. Its your community.

At Well Catered, we take that idea seriously. Every platter we craft, every wood-fired pizza we serve, and every hot lunch we deliver is designed to bring people together. We carefully select ingredients that pop with flavor, colors that excite the eyes, and combinations that spark conversation.

Because sharing food is about more than convenience, it’s about creating experiences.
Those small moments of laughter, connection, and shared enjoyment are exactly what our packages are made for: to make every gathering a little warmer, a little tastier, and a lot more memorable.

  • Toasting over a crisp glass of wine while the sun sets over the lake
  • Passing around a platter of vibrant salads that everyone wants to try
  • Watching someone take that first bite of a dessert and seeing their eyes light up

And here’s the magic: these shared moments turn into memories that last far longer than the meal itself.

So next time you’re planning a catch-up with friends, a corporate team event, or a big celebration, remember this little piece of science. It’s not just the menu, it’s the shared experience that counts. And that’s exactly where Well Catered comes in. We handle the food, the setup, and the stress, so you can focus on being fully present with the people who matter most.

You bring the people, we’ll bring the feast.
You bring the memories, we’ll bring the flavor.
 Together = Unforgettable moments, every time.
