Free independent school catering review
Find out where your school catering service may be losing value, creating pressure, or falling short of what was promised.
If costs are creeping up, food quality feels inconsistent, portions are being questioned, or your contractor is not acting on concerns, this review gives you a clearer view of what is really happening.
Available for a limited number of schools this term.
Is your school catering working as well as it should?
Most schools assume their catering service is running well until the same issues keep coming back. You may be seeing:
Costs rising without a clear reason
Food quality changing from day to day
Portions that do not feel good value
Staff who seem stretched or disengaged
Contractor feedback that gets acknowledged but not acted on
Governors asking for clearer answers
You do not need to guess what is going wrong.
Fig Consultancy gives you an independent look at the catering service, so you can see what needs attention first.
What the free review includes
Your School Catering Independent Review gives you a practical view of your catering setup. You get:
An independent assessment of your catering service
A check of the gap between promise and delivery
A review of cost, value, food quality, and portion control
A look at staffing and operational efficiency
Contractor performance feedback
A written report you can share with your governing body
Practical recommendations based on real catering experience
This is based on what is happening in your school.
Common questions
We think our contract is fine.
It may be. This review gives you an independent benchmark, so you can see whether the service, value, and delivery match what you expect.
Why do we need this now?
School food standards are under review, and schools are under more pressure to show quality, value, and good food standards. This review helps you understand where your catering service stands before pressure builds.
We have raised concerns before.
That is common. This review turns concerns into clear findings and practical next steps, so you are not left with vague feedback.
Can we afford it?
The review is free for selected schools during this limited offer. You still receive the written report and toolkit.
What happens after we enquire?
Send your details and Fig Consultancy will contact you to check whether your school is a fit for the free review. If it is, you will agree a visit time and receive your written findings after the review.
What's the Catch ? - No catch- this review is completely free and only available until the end of the Summer term . Due to the on-site nature of this work, we only have space for a limited number of reviews , so book your now .

You get practical help from people who understand how school catering works day to day.
We asked fig advice on how to enhance our offer with additional menu items - that have to be produced in the same oven.They gave us a product that uses our existing stock lines and created a lunch time offer that flew!!!We don’t want to say how easy it is to make in case every pizza joint in town does the same 😂
We brought them into a project where we were floundering and found them exemplary.
Although we met with Fig briefly for an initial visit, the short time we had with them has absolutely helped us and our business in ways you could not imagine. Our interaction helped us know we have a good food business and it has the potential to be great. They advised on finance/costing/online marketing/equipment for our endeavours etc.The advice and guidance from John, Simon & Rhys was invaluable and we have already made some plans to incorporate their suggestions. We will be working with Fig consultancy for the next 12 months in a mentoring capacity an
