We’ve reached the end of another school year! 🍎

As our on-site teams wind down and serve the final dishes of the term, we’d like to take a moment to say a huge thank you to our clients, teams, and suppliers, for their continued support throughout the year.

The dedication and hard work from our teams across the country has not gone unnoticed, especially during the recent high temperatures, which have made busy kitchens even more challenging. Your commitment makes a difference every single day.

We’re already looking ahead to September, where we’ll be welcoming new sites, continuing to deliver fresh, nutritious food, and introducing our autumn/winter menus shortly after.

We hope everyone has a fantastic summer break! ☀️

Food delivery is no longer an occasional treat, it’s becoming part of everyday life 🍟

With more UK households ordering takeaway regularly, the shift in how we eat is clear. Convenience, accessibility and habit are reshaping food culture.

But what does that mean for education settings?

It’s a reminder that expectations around food have changed. Children, like anyone else, want quality, choice, and convenience, without compromise.

We’re giving students the benefits of convenience without relying on delivery apps.

Our grab and go options make it easy to access food quickly during break.

Our menus also reflect these evolving food habits, with a growing focus on familiar dishes that are quick, balanced and satisfying. It’s about meeting expectations while supporting better food choices and eating habits 🥦

Where does it come from? 🐖

Knowing where our ingredients come from is just one of the ways we ensure quality across our menus. From the field to your fork, every cut we serve can be traced through a clear, documented chain.

Our pork is sourced from British farms where pigs are reared with the space and freedom to explore, wallow and behave naturally.

All of the beef we receive comes from British farms operating under the Red Tractor Assurance scheme. In practice, that means you can be certain the cattle were raised on British soil, under British standards, by farmers who take the welfare of their herds seriously.

Our poultry is supplied by a specialist British producer working with a carefully selected network of UK farms. Like our pork and beef, every chicken we serve carries Red Tractor certification - meaning it has been independently verified against rigorous national standards for animal welfare, food safety, hygiene and traceability.

Last week, some of our team came together for a day of sampling the fantastic food and drink on offer from our supplier, Creed, at their Food Festival in Gloucester.

Days like these are incredibly useful to our team who develop our menus and are constantly looking for ways to improve the experience for our students and clients. They also provide a great opportunity to meet face-to-face with food suppliers from across the country.

Who knows... maybe you'll see some of these products appear on our menus in the future!

What a week it’s been!

While many of us have felt the impact of the heat, it’s been especially challenging for those working in our kitchens, where temperatures can climb even higher.

We’d like to take a moment to say a sincere thank you to all of our teams, particularly our kitchen staff, who have continued to work incredibly hard in tough conditions, delivering the same high standards day in, day out.

We really appreciate everything you do. Have a great weekend, you all deserve it! 👏

Free school meals are changing in England this September.

England: All Universal Credit households now qualify - no earnings cap. Reception–Year 2 always free. Years 3–11 must apply.

Wales: All primary pupils (Reception–Year 6) free universally. Secondary: UC under £7,400/year. No equivalent September 2026 change announced.

📚 If you're a parent/guardian, here's what to do:

Check if you're on Universal Credit. If so, you almost certainly qualify from September. Apply as soon as your school's system opens.

Contact your child's school or local authority now. Ask when their application portal opens for 2026/27.

Already receiving meals? Don't assume they continue - transitional protection ends July 2026. Confirm eligibility is being rechecked.

On other benefits? Income Support, ESA, Pension Credit, and Child Tax Credit (without Working Tax Credit) also qualify regardless of the September changes.

We take nutrition seriously.

Alongside following guidelines set by the Food Standards Agency, our team is always looking for additional ways to make our menus even more nutritious and delicious.

Take our chicken fajita wrap, for example 🌯

This dish is low in fat, sugar, and salt, while also providing a good source of fibre and protein to help keep students fuller for longer and support healthy digestion.

School classics you know and love 🫶

School food has come a long way over the years. However, you'll still see some of the dishes you remember back in school still making an appearance.

We make classics like our sprinkle cakes from scratch on-site. Today, we take a more balanced approach, using less sugar than you might have found in years gone by, while still delivering great flavour.

On other days, we also offer lighter options to round off lunch, including lower-sugar desserts such as yoghurt and reduced-sugar jelly.

Yesterday, some of our team attended Careers Day at Selwood Academy, where we had the chance to showcase the wide variety of roles within the food industry, and what a career with Cleverchefs Catering can look like, whether that's as a chef or in an office-based role.

We led interactive activities, including a ‘Guess the Food’ game using chefs’ hats, designed to encourage communication and highlight the importance of teamwork, which are key skills for any future career, especially in our industry.

We also shared our menu templates and invited students to create their own dream school menus, taking into account nutrition and balance. Turns out Taco Tuesdays were a big winner at Selwood!

Thank you Selwood Academy Frome for a great day!
