Edwards and Ward - an independent catering company that specialises in the Education Sector

St Martin's is delighted to be in partnership with Edwards and Ward, a company built on a commitment of; fresh locally sourced food; cooked and served by a well-trained and motivated team of genuine foodies.

Edwards and Ward understand that school can be where children begin their food journey and are keen to help them make healthy, nutritious choices. From comforting favourites like Cottage Pie to their first taste of a mild Vegetable Curry, they ensure there are choices that suit the very youngest as well as the growing pupils heading off to Secondary School.

Special Medical Diets

If your child currently receives or requires a halal menu or has any dietary requirements/allergies, you must register this through www.edwardsandward.co.uk

Living with allergies comes with its own set of rules so when it comes to food, as education caterers, Edwards and Ward want to make this as easy as possible for you as a family. Their staff are trained in food safety and regularly update their skills on allergens. They never underestimate the dangers of food allergies and intolerances and that's why they work hard to get it right.

Please ensure that the school office are aware of all allergies and dietary requirements when completing your child's medical registration. Should your child develop an allergy during the school year, please don't hesitate to get in touch and the admin team will assist you.
