the only school food keeping both children and parents happy?

We currently offer packed lunch only

You want school lunch to work - for the children, for the parents, for your staff. The idea of proper hot food is appealing. The hesitation is always the same: will they actually eat it? We've helped schools make this move, and the answer is yes — with the right menu and the right approach.

we are looking to improve on our current supplier

You already offer hot meals but the food isn't good enough — too processed, too repetitive, or children are simply not eating it. Parents are noticing. You know the bar should be higher. V&Me's school menu was built specifically around what primary-age children choose to eat, not what's cheapest to produce.

Try V&Me

Parents want school lunch to work.
So do you.

Most parents would swap the morning lunchbox routine for a proper hot lunch - if they trusted their child would actually eat it. That's the only real question. Here's how we answer it.

The menu: built for this age group specifically, after years of listening to what children 5–11 actually eat.

Parent communication: we send the welcome letter, the sample menu, the FAQs. You don't write any of it.

The first few weeks: there's always a settling period. We've been through it enough times to know what works and we will help you communicate that.

Your team: no kitchen, no extra admin. We handle allergens and dietary requirements.

The gap between standard school catering and V&Me is not subtle.

  • No reheated, hot held and shipped around the country for hours. Every dish cooked from scratch in our Battersea kitchen, delivered straight from the oven to your eating time

  • The children have helped build the menu - schnitzel, teriyaki salmon, peri peri chicken - made the right way.

  • We visit every school we serve, so we know your specific constraints. Every term we talk, so that we can improve on our service.

everything handled. nothing to figure out.
