About
‘The lack of quality in school food has been highlighted in recent years but we have always served fresh food since we started the business 26 years ago’
ANDREW SAUNDERS

For 26 years Independent Catering has been at the forefront of providing fresh and fabulous food to schools.
In 1996 Andrew Saunders founded the company with a vision of creating a service based on great food using locally sourced ingredients and suppliers. The company still led by Andrew, with a team of passionate skilled chefs, now provides a service to over 70 schools in Kent, Surrey and Sussex cooking tens of thousands of meals a day!
We are proud of our environmental and sustainable approach to our menus and food standards which underpins our commitment to fresh, seasonal and locally grown produce. Our commitment to using the best food that Kent, Sussex and the UK can offer lies at the heart of our approach and always has done!
Our core values ensure pupils and school staff receive healthy and innovative menus, served with a smile by our wonderful dedicated team of catering staff.
Our approach is simple! Great food prepared on site delivering fantastic value for money for parents.
The long term partnerships we have with our schools are testimony to our food and service ethos.
