As a renowned food service provider, they have more than 20 years’ experience in independent schools. As an integral part of children’s lives, it is incumbent upon us as professionals to educate young people in the benefits of food on both physical and mental wellbeing. CH&CO does this through: • fresh food; • engagement; • education; • protecting the environment; and • a committed team. Fresh food Their menus are fresh, simple, relevant, very tasty and created with a great deal of care. By working within the boundaries set by each of our schools, CH&CO develops a personalised approach to ensure that each of their schools has food which is tailored to the needs of their pupils. “Under CH&CO our food has been taken to another level at DLD College London. The restaurant quality food prepared by our talented CH&CO chefs in our award-winning kitchen is outstanding. The whole college appreciates the diverse menus and the vast selection prepared daily to accommodate a myriad of dietary requirements across our international student body”. Irfan H Latif, Principal, DLD College London Engagement After their successful and award-winning campaign, Good Food Works, CH&CO are back with a new campaign which will further engage pupils and parents with the sustainable and nutritious food they serve. Through the Future of Food launched in September 2021, they’re telling everyone that this is the way food will be today, tomorrow and in the future. They’re also futureproofing food, using sustainable ingredients that support rather than impact. “We have been using CH&CO for two years and they have provided an excellent service throughout that time. The quality food is imaginative, varied and age appropriate with plenty of information about nutrition on display for the boys. The pop-up stands are also a great addition and always thoroughly enjoyed. The service extends well beyond the kitchen and the support from the management team has always been very strong. We are very glad to have selected them through the tendering process”. Angus Harper, Homefield School Education At CH&CO, they remove obstacles, disrupting the historic approach to ‘healthy eating’ that never makes food fun or exciting. Working with schools, they are getting the message out that food really makes a difference to health and wellbeing. In partnership with schools, tailored learning plans have been created which reflect the future of food. They work with pupils and parents through interactive activities in the dining room, before and after school activities, assemblies and now, virtually. “Our children can make their choice between the different hot and cold options daily, as well as separate salad items and a range of international dishes. We’d like to thank CH&CO and the team for feeding our happy hearts so that our pupils really can go all the way”. Clare Coley-Maud, Longacre School CH&CO Independent
