What Is Contract Catering?

Contract catering involves providing regular meal services to organisations under short to long-term agreements. Large chains, educational institutions, cafés, and attractions like museums and sports venues commonly employ contract caterers to deliver consistent, quality food service without the overhead of managing their own kitchen operations.

Our Contract Catering Services

Regular Service Unlike one-off event catering, contract catering involves providing food services on a regular, scheduled basis. This could be daily lunches for a corporate office, weekly meals for a school, or sandwich supply to a café. Our reliable scheduling ensures consistent quality and timing that your organisation can depend on.

White Labelling Beyond traditional catering, our contract service includes white labelling products for supermarkets and cafés. These products can be pre-packed sandwiches to artisan cakes and freshly squeezed orange juice, all with your own branding and assets. This works perfectly for those who prefer not to manage chefs and kitchen operations, leading to simplified operations and reduced overhead.

Cost-Effective Budgeting Opting for contract catering means you can forgo the need for an in-house kitchen and dedicated staff. It's a cost-efficient approach that simplifies budgeting and reduces overhead costs. We handle all aspects of the catering process, from meal planning and preparation to delivery and service, allowing you to focus on your core business.

Bespoke Menus The menus in contract catering are often customised to the client's preferences and needs. This could involve accommodating dietary restrictions, preferences, and budget constraints, which ultimately avoids menu fatigue and keeps your customers satisfied with varied, exciting options.
