Where every meal is an adventure
Little explorers deserve big flavours. Our nursery, pre-prep and prep menus burst with colour and nutrition, inspiring children to dive into new tastes with confidence and excitement.
High-street inspiration, on-site standards
Older pupils demand more. We match that energy with globally inspired, street‑food‑led menus centred on fresh seasonal produce.
Flexible food for busy schedules
Sixth formers juggle revision, sport, and social life, so they need dining that fits around them. Flexible options with grab and go convenience, plus relaxed spaces where students can eat, study, or recharge between lessons.
A taste of home, wherever home may be
Homely dishes, pop-up street food, pizza nights, fake-aways or take-away inspired weekend meals. International students get a taste of home, and every boarder has a say in shaping the menu.
of exclusive focus on independent schools
Since 1997, Holroyd Howe has been serving delicious, nutritious, fresh

Our approach
Nutrition that
starts in the classroom
Our qualified nutritionists plan meals and educate pupils, supporting athletes and working with your school on managing dietary needs and eating disorder awareness. Last year alone, our Head of Nutrition taught over 8,000 pupils across the country.
Sustainability you
can measure
We’re one of only a handful of foodservice operators with science-backed Net Zero targets approved by the SBTi, and we’ve already achieved a 41% reduction in food waste while working with over 600 purpose-driven suppliers. These aren’t just ambitious targets for the future, they reflect where we are today.

pays for itself
