Welcome to the School Kitchen

Education caterers serving so much more than fantastic food

Chartwells is proud to be the leading provider of catering and support services to schools, academies, colleges and universities in the UK. For over a quarter of a century, Chartwells has focused on helping those in education to build strong bodies, sharp minds and embrace positive dietary and lifestyle behaviours that last a lifetime.  As truly passionate education and school caterers, it’s our aim for every pupil and student to have the same opportunities to develop and make a positive contribution when learning at school, college or university. It’s our mission to help them do it.

Our education caterers and food services teams are proud to serve millions of nutritious and delicious meals to students in schools, academies, colleges and universities across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. On top of catering for students, we also serve great-tasting meals to a host of educators across the public sector and provide all the support services – from facilities management to cleaning – to create safe, inspirational and exciting environments to fuel inquisitive minds. What Chartwells provides is so much more than fantastic food.

At Chartwells Schools, we don’t feed some children — we feed all children, regardless of their dietary requirements. In collaboration with our registered nutritionists, we’re proud to prepare medical diet menus that look and taste as similar as possible to our main mealtime offerings, while still catering beyond the 14 main allergens.

As part of our commitment to ensuring that as many children as possible can enjoy school meals safely, we also follow an industry-leading allergens process and ensure full compliance with Natasha’s Law.

We pride ourselves on our thorough approach to food safety and allergens, but don’t just take our word for it: here’s one of our Chartwells Schools parents who has gone through the process with us so that her son, who suffers from multiple allergies, can enjoy our tasty school meals.

SCHOOL LUNCHES
They’re healthy, fun, seasonal and free!

Starting school is the beginning of a whole new chapter in your child’s life. It’s a time to make friends and have lots of new experiences.
School meals are a fantastic opportunity for children to get together and share the experience of trying new foods. Knowing that your child is having a healthy, delicious and sustainably cooked meal every day, is one less thing for you to worry about.
