Education caterers serving so much more than fantastic food

Chartwells is proud to be the leading provider of catering and support services to schools, academies, colleges and universities in the UK. For over a quarter of a century, Chartwells has focused on helping those in education to build strong bodies, sharp minds and embrace positive dietary and lifestyle behaviours that last a lifetime.  As truly passionate education and school caterers, it’s our aim for every pupil and student to have the same opportunities to develop and make a positive contribution when learning at school, college or university. It’s our mission to help them do it.

Our education caterers and food services teams are proud to serve millions of nutritious and delicious meals to students in schools, academies, colleges and universities across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. On top of catering for students, we also serve great-tasting meals to a host of educators across the public sector and provide all the support services – from facilities management to cleaning – to create safe, inspirational and exciting environments to fuel inquisitive minds. What Chartwells provides is so much more than fantastic food.

We work just as hard to ensure that our food is always good value for money, just £2.75 provides a balanced lunch with vegetables and a dessert.
