Fresh, Healthy Food for Growing Minds
Just like you, we're parents, and there's nothing more important to us than seeing the children we feed get served the nutritious food they deserve.
- Simple All of the meals we serve your children have been kept as simple as possible, using the same ingredients you'd find at home.
- Fresh We hand make all of our lunches that morning
- Nutritious Every one of our recipes has been carefully selected to provide your child with the nutrition their growing bodies need.
- Quality We insist on the highest quality ingredients, from fresh fruit and veg to red tractor approved, grade A meat.
Your Schools Perfect Partner
So, what makes The Pantry the Perfect Partner for your School?
- The Gold Standard: We're delighted to have been awarded the Food for Life ‘Gold’ Mark for meeting the highest standards in School Food Catering. We prioritise fresh local, seasonal, and sustainable food – so you can be reassured your menus are comprised of ethically and environmentally-friendly ingredients, with healthy choices being readily-accessible each and every day, and local ingredients being championed through engaging marketing and promotions.
- Our Primary School Offer is brimming with homestyle, family favourites, from luscious Lasagnes to classic Con Carnes, to Tangy Tikkas and marvellous Meatballs. Meat and Vegetarian Mains take equal billing, and every meal is served with a range of fresh, seasonal vegetables and a filling fruit-based dessert.
- The Pantry Partnership doesn't start and end at dinnertime, either - we host a variety of Themed Days, Cookery Clubs and Bake-Offs for our Schools, completely free of charge – so we’re always supporting children’s love of food, whenever they need it.
- Our Secondary School Offer brings all the imagination and innovation of the High Street into the dining room. Every meal has been designed to be either plated or eaten on the go, with contemporary twists on traditional favourites – from our Yorkshire Pudding & Cauli Cheese Wraps, to our Mac ‘n’ Cheese Pots lathered in Hickory-smoked Shredded Chicken.

Our Business
Doing our part to reduce waste
We don't like waste here at The Pantry, so we've been working with our community to make sure that no good food is binned. At the end of each day, any left-over food is given away to our local church for the homeless whilst left-over bread is supplied to a local farm to feed their animals.
Our Business
The Pantry partner with local farm for eggs
