Holroyd Howe, a professional and independent catering company, provides the catering for Brigidine School Windsor. 

At the core of Holroyd Howe's operating philosophy is the absolute requirement to provide fresh and well prepared food. They sum up their policy as follows:

“Our natural tendency is towards simple food, made with high quality ingredients and prepared with little fuss, just care and attention. Our aim is to create menus which contain interesting new dishes alongside those that prove to be firm favourites, whilst endorsing our healthy and fresh food approach. Our menu is the most important written document we produce and should be nutritious, varied and innovative.”

With Holroyd Howe, we expect our catering services to be vibrant and most importantly, appropriate for all our pupils. Special dietary requirements will be taken into consideration and our Catering Manager will be happy to discuss these with parents personally to ensure that the needs of all children with particular requirements are met. They also employ the services of a Chef Nutritionist to advise on dietary balance and menu construction, with specific marketing initiatives used to encourage healthy eating.

Included in the school fees will be:

Lunches for full time Nursery pupils through to Year 11 and a morning break for Nursery to Year 4. Lunches are optional for Sixth Formers.
