Our Principles
Through our ingredients, nutritional and culinary principles, we ensure our recipes contain ingredients essential for academic excellence. We focus on the Eatwell guide, a variety of whole foods and plant-based options to provide a broad range of choices.
The kitchen is where the magic happens, with chefs using their creativity and culinary flair to create wholesome food that pupils love to eat again and again, and again.
Welcoming kitchens
We believe the best food and pupil experience comes from inclusive environments and kitchens where everyone feels valued. In our kitchens, everyone is welcome.
Our teams do so much
Our teams know the power of food. It's an integral part of school life. That's why we forge genuine partnerships to create menus that excite pupils and support their learning.
"Our food is
Caring for pupils
What we do is about so much more than what goes on the plate, although that is very important too!
It's about caring for the pupils we serve and going the extra mile to make them feel at home when they eat at school. For our teams to do that to the best of their ability, they must feel trusted and valued.
Supporting our team
Just as our teams help show pupils the path to achieving their potential, we are committed to helping our people flourish through learning, development and training.
Food safety and allergens
We make it our top priority to keep our pupils safe and secure.
We continuously invest in food safety measures, including our market-leading allergens process, working closely alongside industry associations such as Allergy UK, Natasha Allergy Research Foundation and many others.
Technology and innovation
We embrace technology when it can have a positive impact on the pupil experience, whether driving down queue times, nudging pupils towards healthier choices with engaging digital content or identifying data trends to enhance menus.
