A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR NEW CATERERS Holroyd Howe
WELCOME We wanted to take this opportunity to introduce Holroyd Howe to you and say how delighted we are to have been awarded the catering contract at Parkside School. Great food is at the very heart of our business. We strive every day to wow our pupils with new ideas and interesting meals whilst keeping the traditional touches. Founded in 1997 by Nick Howe and Rick Holroyd, we are an independent caterer operating exclusively in the independent schools market. Our ethos and commitment to providing great fresh food served by well-trained people who really care has remained consistent. We hope you like our ideas for the future. We always welcome you and your child s feedback.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU We buy 100% of our meat and 85% of our fruit and vegetables from UK sources. Our eggs come from RSPCA Freedom Farm Assured sources only and are certified with the Red Lion Quality Mark. All our milk is produced from Red Tractor accredited farms. All our fresh bakery products are made on-site or by local bakers close to the School. No fish on the IUCN Threatened Species red list are used within our menus and our suppliers are prohibited from sourcing At Risk fish.
HEALTHY EATING & FOOD ALLERGIES At Holroyd Howe we wholeheartedly encourage the move towards a healthier lifestyle within our schools. We adhere to the principle of getting the balance right, which simply means having enough fruit and vegetables, protein, fibre and starchy foods whilst avoiding too much fat, sugar and salt. Our ultimate goal is to help pupils of all ages enjoy balanced meals containing good sources of protein and starch, accompanied by lots of vegetables, salad and fruit. If your child has an allergy or food intolerance please do let us know, we are experienced in catering for many different diets and our trained teams will provide them with an alternative meal, ensuring their dietary needs are met.
FRESH LOCAL SEASONAL PRODUCE EVERY DAY We approach food service with a simple, no fuss attitude. We use the best British ingredients, nothing processed, nothing added, just honest great food every day. We have established partnerships with a series of farmers, producers and artisan food suppliers in the local area. We work closely with these groups who help us ensure that we can meet our commitment to sourcing the finest British produce. The use of quality ingredients is at the heart of our food philosophy.
