Secondary School Catering

At the heart of what we do is our passion for great tasting, healthy, locally sourced food. The menus are driven by our customers’ feedback and our extensive experience in the education sector.

All our dishes are supported with recipes and prepared by craft trained staff. This combination creates great tasting and well-presented food options on the counters for the students.

We have been awarded the Food for Life Gold Catering Mark from the Soil Association. This independent assessment is your guarantee that we provide high quality, fresh food that you can trust.

• 75% of meals are freshly prepared
• 50% of produce is locally sourced
• All eggs are free range

We appreciate that each school is different. We pride ourselves on our flexibility to suit specific requirements for all our customers.

Menus and food concepts are tailored to meet the ever growing demand of education catering in secondary schools, using a combination of the food offered and the design of the eating area. Shire Services has the skill and experience to deliver ‘food our customers want to eat’. This, together with a smart and speedy service, ensures satisfaction for both students and teachers at one of the busiest times of the school day.
