School Meals
Lunchtimes at Padbury CE School
Fresh Start catering provide our school lunches.
We don’t want to be the biggest, just the best, using the best produce, employing the best people and offering the best customer service. In 2007 Fresh Start was founded with a vision to provide senior and primary school children with fresh, nutritional and healthy “home cooked” meals. Fast forward to the current day; that gusto for healthy eating gathered momentum and Fresh Start is now a small but perfectly formed, passionate company serving up hundreds of delicious, varied and balanced meals across the UK.
We cook from scratch and we mean it! All our meals are freshly prepared on site everyday. We source our produce locally where possible and make our food using raw ingredients. No nasties in any of our meals! Every menu we create is packed full of flavour, being healthy and balanced does not have to mean being bland and boring.
