School Meals

Our chef trainer

We had our own chef trainer in Newham before Jamie Oliver initiated his campaign to improve school meals.
Our chef trainer goes into school kitchens and works alongside the school cook for at least three weeks to train them where they may need support on various cooking skills, or if they are not sure how to produce certain recipes.

The chef trainer produces new dishes for pupils to try and, if they are well received, these can be incorporated into their menu cycle. The trainer also increases the range of salads on offer.

Newham Catering Services will be looking to recruit a team of trainers so more schools can benefit from the skills and support of a chef trainer.
