Innovation
We do much more than simply serve food. For your pupils, we create an engaging dining experience that goes far beyond standard school catering. For your school, our services add real value, enhancing your appeal to parents. We achieve this through a genuinely innovative approach that inspires, educates and delights at every meal, while promoting healthy, responsible food choices.
Redefining school dining
We’re redefining school dining by putting pupils first. From a young age, children develop a relationship with food, and we help make this a positive one throughout their school years. We make mealtimes exciting, encourage adventurous eating, and nurture a willingness to learn about nutrition.
Inspired by street-food trends, global flavours and plant-based innovations, our menus appeal to varied and changing tastes. We create a buzz in the dining room – where mealtimes are a social experience, a shared moment of discovery, enjoyment, and connection with friends. The ideas keep coming… relaxed sharing tables to encourage communal eating… seasonal tastings to spark curiosity… chef demos to create sensory experiences… pop-up events to bring international cuisines to life.
Creating a home away from home
For boarding students, we believe mealtimes should help build relationships and reinforce bonds. They also provide an opportunity to offer authentic food from different cultures. Our chefs create menus that celebrate global flavours and traditions, providing pupils with a taste of home and the world beyond. We encourage boarders to get involved in creating menus by telling us what they like to eat and voting on what they want on their plates.
Supporting responsible eating
With our menus, pupils gain an understanding of where their meals come from. And with that understanding, they can develop a lifetime of informed choices. Through education on responsible practices such as regenerative farming and rescuing surplus produce, we help children appreciate that good food shouldn’t cost the earth.
Don't just take our word for it…
Holroyd Howe has been the school caterer since 2017. The saying attributed to Napoleon, ‘An army marches on its stomach’, is equally true for a school – and so the catering team at Bishopsgate is integral to our staff, and its meals, snacks and match teas form part of the Prep School experience. Also, the wider Holroyd Howe team has helped educate the pupils on sustainability and waste. We are very happy to have Holroyd Howe as partners.
