Leela’s Lunches
at Schools
Trusted by the most prestigious schools in the region, Leela’s Lunches delivers a comprehensive range of catering services tailored to each school’s unique needs. From in-class and community-style eating for early years to the full operation of state-of-the-art cafés, we serve freshly prepared hot lunches, salads, and snacks – all crafted in line with our strict health philosophy and meeting British Paediatric Association and regional nutritional standards.
Our service plays a vital role in supporting schools’ missions to nurture well-rounded individuals and foster inclusive, vibrant communities. By providing balanced, nutritious meals that fuel learning and growth, we help create mealtimes that do more than nourish – they bring students together, build lasting bonds, celebrate diverse cultures, and strengthen the sense of community through shared dining experiences.
Technology that
Simplifies and Supports
In partnership with Spare, we use advanced technology to make mealtimes quick and easy. Parents can top up accounts and order online for hassle-free meal purchases, and students pay seamlessly using their Leela’s Lunches card, helping to minimise wait times.
Parents gain real-time insight into their child’s food choices and nutritional intake, allowing them to monitor spending and set limits. Additionally, Spare serves as a communication tool, enabling us to share key updates and a range of nutritional information with parents.
Beyond the plate
Our commitment goes beyond simply providing meals. We believe healthy eating should be a core part of school culture – woven into the curriculum, the community, and everyday habits.
At partner schools, we have supported this through hands-on cooking sessions and food-based learning activities, helping children build confidence in the kitchen while exploring ideas around nutrition and sustainability. These experiences complement schools’ wider well-being goals, encouraging lifelong healthy habits from an early age.
We also collaborate with school communities to engage parents through nutrition-focused talks and workshops. These sessions offer practical, down-to-earth tips to support consistent healthy eating at home and in school – helping foster a shared food culture that supports every child.
