How do you stop teenagers from leaving campus for food? 🥪

High schoolers want lunches that look and taste like their favourite high-street spots, but kitchens still have to hit strict nutritional guidelines.

Our new guide is all about striking that perfect balance with easy, healthy bakes that students will actually choose.

We dive into swapping traditional hot meals for modern grab-and-go options, using wholesome, fibre-rich bakery bases that satisfy hungry teens while checking off school compliance, and how a frozen-to-fresh model lets your team handle the lunch rush while cutting food waste.

Get ahead of the September high-street competition while the schools are quiet this summer.

The summer holidays are almost here! 🍏

While the classrooms are emptying out, it’s the ultimate time for school catering teams to step back and plan a menu refresh for the upcoming autumn term.

Getting primary school kids to eat healthy, school compliant meals can feel like a daily battle.

That’s why our latest guide is filled with clever, stress-free bakery ideas that keep school lunchtimes both nutritious and fun.

We cover everything from using soft 50/50 bread swaps that kids love to eat without noticing the extra fibre, to serving portion-controlled bakes that fit school standards while still feeling like a Friday treat.

Plus, we show how a thaw-and-serve approach saves your team hours of prep and cuts food waste to an absolute minimum.

Use the summer break to get ahead of the game and build a menu that makes both pupils and school governors happy. ☀️

What a fantastic couple of days in Birmingham! 🍏🧑‍🍳

Last week, we traded our usual routine to attend The School Food People Show & Forum, and it was a brilliant event from start to finish.

Getting to speak directly with the chefs, catering managers, and school heroes who feed the nation’s children every day is always the highlight of our year.

We loved hearing about the creative ways you are keeping school menus exciting, and we were proud to showcase how our core bakery range can take the pressure off your kitchens.

From our compliant school breads to our perfectly portioned treats, it was great to show how a frozen-to-fresh strategy can save your team precious time and cut down on unnecessary food waste.

A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by the Kara stand for a catch-up.

We’ve come back with plenty of fresh inspiration as we look ahead to the next school term!

The brief for mid-summer dining?

High vibes, sunny beer gardens, and a picnic of "picky-bits.”

As the warm weather takes over, diners are ditching heavy, formal meals in favour of casual outdoor grazing and BBQ-inspired spreads.

If your summer menu isn't set up for sharing, you could be missing out on a massive seasonal trend!

Here is how to get your beer garden match-ready for the mid-summer rush:

📸 The "Instagramable" Board: Loaded sharing platters featuring dipping oils and mezze treats.

☀️ BBQ, but make it premium: Upgrading your summer grill with gourmet artisan buns.

🫒 Bite-Sized Indulgence: Serving up loaded mini sliders and sweet doughnut balls for the ultimate group-grazing experience.

Forget everything you know about standard summer menus.

There’s a new flavour profile in town, and it’s called "Fricy." 🌶️🍓

The ultimate mashup of fruit-forward sweetness and a spicy kick, this trend is heating up across the foodservice industry. From the bold, tangy heat of Mexican Chamoy to the bright, citrusy punch of Japanese Yuzu Kosho, these combos are designed to give your customers something worth talking about.

We’re even seeing it in the bakery world, with spicy fruit glazes taking a standard burger bun to a whole new level!

We want to know: What’s your go-to "fricy" pairing?

🍍 Pineapple & Jalapeño?
🍓 Strawberry & Balsamic Chilli?
🍉 Watermelon & Tajin?

🍇 The Traditional: Sultana Scones bursting with fruit.
