A milestone worth celebrating

We believe that every plate tells a story, one rooted in quality, care and a deep respect for our environment. That’s why we are incredibly proud to share that all our partner schools have achieved the Food for Life Served Here Bronze award from the Soil Association.

This certification reflects our commitment to serving food that nourishes pupils while demonstrating our commitment to climate, nature and health. It independently verifies the quality of what we serve every day, from farm to plate.

Thoughtful food that is carefully sourced

Our menus are thoughtfully created and freshly prepared by our talented chefs, who are passionate about bringing the best ingredients to life. Every dish is free from artificial additives, trans fats and GM ingredients, and we take great care in sourcing responsibly. From farm-assured meat that meets high welfare standards, to free range eggs and sustainably sourced fish, every element is chosen with integrity. By embracing seasonality and working closely with our trusted suppliers, we ensure our food not only tastes exceptional but reduces the environmental impact of our menus.

Across our schools, we serve thousands of meals each day and each one an opportunity to inspire a lifelong appreciation of good food. Achieving the Bronze award across all sites is a testament to the dedication of our teams, who consistently go above and beyond to deliver meals that are fresh, balanced and full of flavour. It also reflects our ongoing commitment to doing the right thing, supporting British producers, reducing waste and creating menus that celebrate both provenance and creativity.

“This achievement is something we are incredibly proud of. It reflects the passion, skill and care our teams bring to every kitchen, every day.

At Holroyd Howe, we believe that great food has the power to shape habits, support wellbeing and inspire future generations, and this recognition reinforces our commitment to doing just that, responsibly and sustainably.”
Melissa Rahaman, Regional Director & Sustainability Lead
