The Vineyard sign-up for a longer contract


3rd August 2008

The Vineyard School in Richmond initially contracted Pride Catering in 2007. Having seen meal numbers grow rapidly to over over 280 daily, The Vineyard recontracted Pride for several more years.

Richard Rosewell, Deputy Headteacher at The Vineyard explains "Teaming up with Pride was one of the best decisions we have ever made at The Vineyard. Since Pride has provided our lunches our take up for hot school meals has risen from around 60 to 290. There is also now a large number of staff who enjoy the food that Pride provides. Lunchtimes have been transformed. The children love the food and now, with guidance from staff, are making healthy choices. We recently surveyed the children about the 'lunchtime experience' and their responses were extremely positive. Both staff and parents have been delighted with the changes that Pride have provided. I can't recommend Pride enough."

"We are delighted with the contract and look forward to our continued partnership with Vineyard" commented Tim Price, Joint Managing Director of Pride.
