EDUCATION

In primary schools, every meal shapes a memory. Our menus are colourful, nourishing, and built to help children grow strong, stay focused, and discover a love for food that lasts a lifetime.

PROVIDING SCHOOLS WITH LOCALLY SOURCED, HIGH-QUALITY INGREDIENTS FOR FRESH AND NUTRITIOUS, CHILD-LED MEALS.

Educatering is a complete school food and catering solution, focused on high quality, nutritious, locally sourced, fresh foods, being fed to pupils through delicious, child-led menus and meals. We are the experts who take the burden of school catering off of the school and support them and their kitchens to provide the very best for their pupils and staff whilst ensuring their safety and the schools compliance with the current legislations.

MEALS

We serve child-friendly dishes that balance flavour and nutrition: roast dinners, pasta bakes, veggie curries, and Friday fish and chips — all freshly cooked. Vegetarian and vegan options are always available, and portion sizes are right for each age group.

MENUS

Our Primary menus are built around familiar favourites, colourful plates, and lots of opportunities to explore new flavours. Every menu is designed to support growing children with balanced nutrition, portion sizes suited to younger pupils, and plenty of fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from across the South West. We focus on dishes children love, with gentle introductions to new foods and regular input from pupils, parents and staff.

STAFF & TRAINING

Your lunchtime team stays at the heart of service. We train and mentor them in child nutrition, food safety, and allergens — building confidence and consistency in every kitchen.

COSTS

We understand school budgets. Our transparent per-pupil pricing includes everything: ingredients, staff support, training, and compliance. We also help maximise meal uptake and funding.
