College catering consultants.
Independent advice for further education. We help colleges and sixth forms deliver catering that students actually use, meets nutrition standards, and stacks up against tight budgets, with no ties to any caterer.
Catering that works for students and the budget.
Further education catering has its own pressures, from funding and nutrition standards to keeping day students on site. We help you get all three right.
More value from a tight budget
Funding is under pressure and every pound counts. We benchmark cost and subsidy and reshape the model so the catering delivers more without cutting quality.
Catering benchmarkingUptake and student experience
Students vote with their feet, and their money. We help you build a food offer that keeps them on site, from healthy hot options to grab and go, so uptake and satisfaction rise together.
Standards, compliance and tender
From nutrition standards and allergen compliance to fair, defensible tenders, we make sure your catering is safe, compliant and commercially sound.
Tender managementDiscover, Interpret, Challenge, Execute. The same evidence led method underpins your college catering review, tender or transformation.

College catering has to feed a lot of students on a tight budget, meet strict standards, and still feel like somewhere they want to eat. That is a genuinely hard balance.
We bring commercial rigour and real catering experience, with no ties to any operator, so you can make confident decisions about in-house, contracted or hybrid provision.
Every recommendation is actionable, measurable and commercially sound.
We do not sell catering. We protect your interests.

We benchmark, so decisions are based on evidence.
