Always.Cooking are a catering service for young people, like no other.

Sourcing local, sustainable produce, of the highest quality, from within the UK to feed inquisitive, developing young minds is the cornerstone of everything we do.

We take this delicious produce to create the most nutrient dense, interesting and fun menus for children, served at schools, for HAF Projects, summer camps and within child care environments.

We are not in business to make shareholders rich. We are in business to make sure children access decent quality food, as such our business does not aim to make vast profits. We pay people properly. We are committed to a minimum of RLW and significantly above for all staff and all contractors.

We care about nutrition, we care about children, we care about the environment. All of that comes before profit.

 We are kids food, like no other.

For too long school dinner and children’s food provision, in all of it forms, has placed profit above quality and nutrition. Making money has been more important than the health and well-being of our children, and that has to change. 

There was no doubt that a post Brexit food supply chain would look very different and since 2018 we’ve been working exclusively with local suppliers for all produce.  Our vision has always been to create a sustainable food model, using the very best of local produce, supporting the local economy and local farming practice.

We are committed to organic, sustainable, growing practices that nourish the earth, promote crop rotation, fallow farming and permaculture.

Combining years of experience catering for huge numbers and a keen understanding of nutritional guidelines, developing food tastes for young people and education, we strive to provide the highest quality, healthiest and most nutrient dense food available for children. The food is always fun, engaging and delicious.

We recognise that children’s tastes vary enormously, so whilst we aim to provide a rich and diverse menu for your children, we will also undoubtedly mix these options with food they know and recognise. Some of our most simple dishes are the most nutrient dense. Our team are able to produce food children recognise, with exceptional quality ingredients.

Locally sourced food, with minimal farm to plate miles is always superior in every way.

We care, far more, about your child’s overall well being and diet, than we do about profit.

Children come first, always.
