The thing that I really like about Edsential is the team. The team that support us as a school are fantastic. They communicate really well with us, they listen to us and we can always work through any problems or any concerns. Jo has been fantastic all of the way through, we couldn’t want a better area manager, she works with us, she will drop in, she will check on food quality, she will always make sure that the school and the children are happy.

“From the ingredients, the menu choices and the food that we offer – it’s very important for our school to promote healthy eating, that’s really key for us. Edsential consider students’ dietary requirements – so we have a vegan and vegetarian option available as well as ensuring diabetic and other food needs are catered for.”
