Cost Effective Catering Bulk Supply for Busy Kitchens

With a specialist development chef trained in the education sector, we provide expertly crafted weekly menu plans, complete with ingredient lists, precise portion sizes, and cost-per-portion calculations.

We understand the financial pressures schools face, which is why we’re committed to helping you maximise your budget. With tailored solutions for Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2, and higher education, we provide smart cost-saving strategies while ensuring all dietary requirements are met.

Parents, carers, and students are more aware than ever of allergens and intolerances, making food safety and inclusivity a top priority. Our extensive range makes it easy for schools to provide alternative dishes and products, ensuring every child can enjoy their meals safely and confidently.

Schools are also required to provide full ingredient labelling on ‘pre-packed for direct sale’ (PPDS) foods, with allergens clearly highlighted under Natasha’s Law.

At Hunt’s Food Group, we support you with:

  • Comprehensive ingredient and allergen information on all product labels and our website.
  • A rigorous supply chain monitoring process to guarantee food safety, consistency, and compliance with internal and statutory standards.

“I have been using hunts for many years. I have always found the reps very knowledgeable with their products, and always willing to sort out competitive prices. Now with the online ordering it’s even better, no need to wait for the telesales to answer, you can search all the products and see exactly what price you are paying instantly. Also, if the product you require is in stock, you can search yourself for alternative product. All in all a much more stress-free experience.”
