Recognising that school children of any age are customers is what sets us apart from the competition. We know that great customer service, attention to detail and a passion for service are all vital ingredients to a successful meal service.
From the smallest primary school to the largest secondary school, academy or college, our experienced teams are motivated to look after our most important asset - the relationship between Aspens and the people we serve.
We began our company in April 2008 when three directors, who had worked in education catering for over 20 years, came together with a common aim; to develop a catering company where good food is at the heart of what we do every day and ensure our clients, customers and the teams we employ feel valued and important. We believe we have achieved this, and we continue to grow every day.
We are proud of our client relationships and our retention record is testament to our commitment to working with our clients and customers.
Our founding principles remain part of our daily approach:
– Great tasting food, freshly prepared using local ingredients.
– The belief that “one size does not fit all”
– To keep our customers and clients at the heart of what we do.
These principles are not just words – this is what we do.

We understand that the needs of the educational sector are constantly evolving and that there is more emphasis than ever on the importance of making sure that all children, including those with special educational needs and disabilities receive the support, resources and spaces that they need to succeed into secondary school and beyond. We are aware that some schools just don’t have the space that is required to provide a dedicated functional space for specific activities, whether that be a calm and quiet space to reflect or a bustling classroom that fosters learning, creativity and imagination.
There are numerous benefits of having a log cabin environment as a school building, such as lowering stress levels and blood pressure which promotes curiosity and improved academic performance. The biophilic design of a log cabin improves cognitive function which in turn increases attention span.
We provide cakes and cupcakes of wide ranges including vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. Personalised cupcakes available with edible printed top. Schools have 50% off from our basic prices. We also tailor our products to your needs and project, do not hesitate to contact us! We started in March 2025 and already nominated as the best startup business and best women entrepreneur of the year in the UK.
