At a time when schools are struggling to meet healthy eating guidelines we have shown how students can be persuaded to choose food that is fresh and wholesome. At a time when schools are facing demands to pay traditional caterers ever-increasing subsidies for an ever-poorer service, we provide an excellent catering service without subsidies or management fees. | |
