a fresh face

We’re on a mission to positively disrupt the Independent market. Driven by our ethos of “What if?”, we’re here to do things a bit differently; from pioneering food waste solutions to amazing student engagement, we’re restlessly entrepreneurial. By proactively seeking to add value in everything we do, we work in partnership with schools to provide a dining experience they can be proud of.

people first

People are at the heart of what we do, but not just any people, great people. People who are devoted to great service, fantastic food, making a positive impact, and always contemplating that next great idea. Access to great training and experienced mentors is part of what makes us, us. Teams get the support they need to deliver for our clients and there’s always a helping hand for those looking to progress. We never stand still, and neither does our service.

sustainable food

We’re proud to support British producers and farmers so, where possible, we always look to source the freshest seasonal local produce. From ripe summer strawberries through to new season lamb, we leave no field unturned in the search for the freshest ingredients. Our philosophy is to tread lightly and to help protect our environment for generations to come, something that is intrinsic to both our business and our sourcing model.

how we do things

Having a deep understanding of the ever-changing landscape for Independents drives us to ensure that we deliver superb value for money to the schools we partner with. We design a truly bespoke service for each of our clients, in doing so ensuring we go way beyond the norm. By providing a point of differentiation for our schools, our goal is to enhance and augment their reputation and student experience. Ultimately, we’re here to support schools in being the best they can be.
