Education Catering - Primirest

Good food is part of how children grow

Every school day, students eat better because Primirest is in the kitchen across 260+ schools. We plan, cook, and serve meals children enjoy, and that support how they learn, develop, and feel.

Meals that help students thrive

Nutrition shapes development, learning, and well-being, and that belief sits behind every menu we build. We provide tasty, varied, healthy meals made to meet children's nutritional needs and made to be eaten with pleasure. A meal a student leaves on the plate helps no one, so we design food children want to finish.
