HC3S, Your Award-winning School Caterer

With over 30 years of school catering experience, our successful ethos is to provide healthy, local, responsibly sourced food that children love.  Our tasty, freshly cooked, nutritious dishes help your children flourish and reach their potential.  As part of a balanced diet, our lunches provide a third of a child's daily calorie intake, to aid concentration levels and give them energy to focus and play.

We know that providing award winning meals isn't enough and so, at HC3S we go that step further, by helping schools and the wider community to encourage children, parents and carers to live healthy lifestyles and think sustainably.

That's why both our 'Ready, Steady, Cook' and healthy eating/lunchbox sessions, the latter in collaboration with Public Health England, are fun, engaging and available in your area.  Our added value 'Food to Flourish Classroom' resources help teachers educate children in an innovative, food related fashion that cuts across the curriculum.

Where opportunity arises, and in a Covid-safe environment, we bring live cooking and food related workshops to the classrooms.  Sometimes, through partnerships with our suppliers and other local food organisations, outside of the classroom, creating sensory filled memorable experiences.

Does your child need a medical special diet to eat lunch at school?

If so, you need to create and account to register your child for a medical special diet.  Once you have created an account, we will be able to review your medical evidence with our NHS dietician in order to devise an adapted menu for your child's school lunch.

Living with allergies comes with its own set of rules so when it comes to food, as education caterers, we want to make this as easy as possible for you as a family.  Our staff are trained in food safety and regularly update their skills on allergens.  We never underestimate the dangers of food allergies and intolerances and that's why we work hard to get it right.
