We’ve introduced new dishes over the past 12 months, all staying within the Food Standards for nutrition. We serve seasonal produce, all locally sourced and we’re confident that we can continue to improve and develop the menus within the schools.”

AiP’s managing director David Weller, added: “We are extremely proud to be awarded the Gold Standard, two years running. We’ve worked exceptionally hard with the schools and local suppliers in Kensington and Chelsea and the results are now speaking for themselves.”
