Founded by Stephanie Spratt and Chris Witter over 14 years ago, Olive Dining was created to provide a bespoke catering services to primary and secondary schools in and around the London and South East region.

Olive Dining has established a positive reputation in partnering with schools to enhance student life through the provision of tasty, freshly prepared and wholesome meals.

To extend its support for students during Ramadan, the caterer developed and launched a new hamper, which provides students with ingredients to prepare a cooked meal after school. This comes complete with a recipe card and pre-recorded video of the Olive Dining chef guiding students through the cooking process.

Leading up to Ramadan, Olive Dining promoted the meal kit in local mosques and around the community, so that families in the area were aware of the initiative and could also sign up to receive a hamper.

The programme was a success, with over 1,000 hampers provided to pupils each week and over 5,000 distributed throughout the month.

Spratt, founder and chief executive of Olive Dining, said: “Olive Dining is an inclusive education caterer, dedicated to supporting all students and members of the school community through quality, freshly prepared and nutritious meals.

“While we have always supported students throughout Ramadan, one of our leading chefs came up with the idea of extending this through our new hampers, which also provides the opportunity to teach students how to make nutritious meals from scratch.

“I am delighted with the positive response we have received from parents and members of the local community alike and look forward to implementing this new and exciting initiative on a permanent basis.”
