The largest school to welcome the caterer is Copleston High School in Ipswich (pictured above) where Edwards & Blake is serving breakfast, mid-morning snacks and lunch to over 1,700 pupils and 300 staff. The menus have been fully refreshed and now include an extensive selection of hot and cold main meals and the innovative Edwards & Blake Street Food range of wraps, pasta pots, flatbreads, tartlets and freshly-made sandwiches. A new Grab and Go area has been added and pupils can now enjoy making their lunch at the ‘Make Your Own’ sub bar. As well as a food makeover, the dining area has been redecorated and is now a bright and welcoming space in which to eat and socialise. The school Coffee Shop now serves Paddy & Scotts coffee and will have a stylish redesign at Easter, as will an external service point.
Adrian Cooke, Sales and Operations Director at Edwards & Blake said: “It has been an exciting and rewarding project to transform the food and facilities at Copleston High School. We worked closely with the school to provide a service that the pupils and staff really enjoy and we’re looking forward to the next phase of our work redesigning the Coffee Shop and outside service point which the pupils will be fully involved with by voting for their favourite design.”
Shaun Common, Principal of Copleston High School said: “We are delighted to welcome Edwards and Blake as our new school catering company. They have a superb record of providing high quality, value for money catering in schools across the region. We have already seen the positive impact across the school with many students commenting on the excellent food being provided. We are also looking forward to the improvement to our facilities which will further enhance the catering experience of our students, staff and visitors”
The company also started catering at three new primary schools; Cobholm Primary Academy and Stradbroke Primary Academy in Norfolk and Worlingham CEVC Primary School in Suffolk serving over 700 pupils and staff.
Shirley Edwards, Co-founder and Director of Edwards & Blake said: “Edwards & Blake is committed to providing freshly-cooked and nutritious food for all our customers and we’re looking forward to working with our new schools to provide high quality food and service that pupils and staff can enjoy every day.”
