Top table experience

Our menus provide choice, variation and fun!

Variation keeps children interested and ensures their diet is diverse from an early age; our lunches consist of both modern and traditional classics to delight all taste pallets.

Theme Days

Our educational and fun theme days such as Roald Dahl Day, National Superhero Day and our Eat the Rainbow Challenge are a great way to boost school meal interest and have evidenced an increase of up to 250% in take-up.

We always welcome individual requests from schools to tie in with learning and/or special events taking place in their school.

Delivery

Deliveries are made via our own team to ensure we retain control over the food.

Our ‘Hot Boxes’ are specially imported from Germany and are of the highest quality available. We were one of the first school lunch providers in the UK to introduce such a system and remain the only contractor in the area to operate with these constant heat boxes. Furthermore, we have inverters fitted in our fleet of delivery vehicles in order to keep continuous power to, and therefore, constant heat of, the box until delivery. Without these specific hot-boxes the
food would start to lose heat, taste and nutrition immediately after leaving the kitchen.
