Correct treatment - Staff beers/croissants

Hello,
Wondering if anyone can help with this as it's been a while since i studied VAT rulings and can't seem to find anything on HMRC.
The company I work for buys us all a beer from a shop every week. this is consumed in the office (beer o'clock) which is a brilliant thankyou at the end of the week.
My question however, is the VAT reclaimable? I vaguely remember reading if this is a viable business expense (staff morale?) then it's allowable. Similarly is VAT reclaimable on client entertainment alcoholic drinks?
A step further are either of these costs allowable for corporation tax purposes?
I've pickled my head reading up on VAT but still can't find a reasonable answer.
many thanks in advance
