We like to think of ourselves as the school meals catering specialists; but you don’t have to take our word for it.

"New Dawn For Island’s Schools”

“Eden Foodservice has a vast amount of experience delivering large-scale group catering contracts within schools; and we look forward to working with them over the next three years.

This new partnership will enable Anglesey County Council to invest new resources than ever before into school meals, which will result in a wider option of tasty and healthy food for our pupils”.

Gwyn Parri: Head of Education, Anglesey County Council.

"Eden Effects Seamless Transition In Bristol"

"Eden Foodservice has been managing the Bristol school meals contract since October 2007. Our Bristol City Council Meals contract was for 130 Nursery, Primary, Special and Secondary schools. The Council were looking for a catering partner with the ability to manage a smooth transfer of 400 catering staff, radically change all the menus and production methods, reverse the decline in school meal take up, whilst meeting all nutritional and legislative requirements.

Following a seamless transition to Eden Foodservice, many of our objectives and Key Performance Indicators for the new service are being met. The food offer emphasises fresh produce, with meals cooked from scratch using high quality ingredients; and meal numbers are showing a steady increase. Since the launch of the new contract, our stakeholders have worked in partnership with Eden on all aspects of the meal service: including menu development, marketing, innovation and healthy eating. As a result of our shared goals and joint approach, the partnership with Eden Foodservice has flourished."

Tim Scullard, Education Clients Unit Manager, Bristol City Council.

Croydon Partnership Delivers Success

“Over the past eight years Croydon Council and Eden Foodservice have developed an open and transparent partnership which has helped to transform school meals to schools within the central contract.

Eden’s flexible approach has ensured that Croydon Council have been able to introduce a range of service initiatives which meet the needs of individual schools. Menu development is a cornerstone of the work undertaken, with schools in the contract receiving a fully fresh menu which includes high quality joints of meat such as Welsh leg of lamb, seasonal fruits, salads and vegetables and Marine Stewardship Council certified fish fingers,

Eden Foodservice  have provided support and expertise to help ensure that projects are successfully delivered on time: a recent example being the introduction of electronic meal payments within Croydon. As a member of the project board, Eden’s input from the service delivery perspective has been invaluable in helping to ensure the seamless introduction of tills into primary school kitchens.”
