What catering services do you provide in Milton Keynes?
We provide catering programmes for each age group: Food Smart for Primary schools, The Kitcheneers for Secondary Schools and The Forum for Sixth Form. Each is adapted to suit the age ranges.
How do you support the local communities of Milton Keynes schools?
We reflect local communities and culture through our menus and collaboration with Milton Keynes schools. Locally sourcing our produce from small and medium enterprises also helps to support the local community.
How do AiP accommodate pupils with special dietary requirements?
We tailor our menus and services to our pupils. To do this, our menus are inclusive and include at least 2 vegetarian and 1 vegan option each day. We control all 14 allergens and can provide allergen-free menus for medical diets.
Do you have any administrative systems in place for school catering?
We use systems like School Food United’s administrative system to support schools documenting FSMs, allergy management and headcounts. This not only helps us streamline our catering service, but also provides additional administrative support for the schools as well.
Can menus reflect Milton Keynes pupils’ tastes and cultures?
To shape diverse and exciting menus, we encourage an open dialogue between schools, their pupils and our chefs so that we can build menus based on the needs of the pupils and their culture.
