We are delighted to welcome Accent Catering as Claremont’s new catering partner, bringing fresh ideas, varied menus and a passion for nutritious food to our dining rooms. Founded in 2002, Accent is an independent company with a commitment to seasonal ingredients and supporting British farmers and growers. Its chefs prepare meals from scratch on site, without packet mixes or ready-made sauces, with menus approved by a qualified nutritionist to support pupils’ learning, growth and wellbeing. Pupils can enjoy a wide choice of freshly prepared main meals, including vegetarian and vegan options, alongside salads, sandwiches, desserts and fresh fruit. Special menus and Pop-Up Kitchen days will introduce new flavours throughout the year, from Korean-inspired dishes to celebrations of Lunar New Year. Sustainability is also central to Accent’s approach, with a focus on responsible sourcing, reducing food waste and unnecessary single-use plastics, and helping pupils understand the journey from field to fork. For families managing allergies or special diets, Accent provides allergen-checked and labelled menus, regular staff training and trained on-site allergy leads. The company also partners with the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation. We look forward to getting to know our new catering team and enjoying everything they bring to life at Claremont.
