Hawarden High School staff and students reflect on the recent successful partnership with Dolce Schools Catering for its Food Court provision.
Simon Budgen, Headteacher at Hawarden High School, said about the recent partnership with Dolce: “We’re a busy, thriving school – we see over a thousand students come through our lunch hall every day. Since we started working with Dolce, service speeds have become much more efficient thanks to the innovative till system, there is a wide variety of food on offer and students are more engaged; they often comment on what they’ve tried and suggest dishes to me. It’s wonderful to see so many pupils enjoying their lunchtime and refuelling for an afternoon of learning.”
Scott Curtis, Managing Director of Dolce, says: “We started offering our fit-out service in 2019, and Hawarden is the first high school we’ve transformed in Wales, so this represents a milestone for us. Unlike other caterers, who usually always have to outsource their design service as they don’t have the expertise in-house, we have our own dedicated team, meaning we not only offer unrivalled expertise but also a more affordable re-design option for schools.”
A pupil at Hawarden School, said: “I really like all the different areas and being able to try different foods from around the world. The food is really tasty and much better than what we used to have. It gets very busy at lunchtime but the queues move quickly so it doesn’t take that long at all.”
