With apetito, your child gets more than just a meal. They get the variety and nourishment they need to develop their taste palate and thrive every day at school.
Naturally Nutritious
What's fuelling your child's school day? Since 52% of packed lunches have too many sweet snacks and less than one in five include vegetables and salad, it's no surprise that under 2% meet the nutritional value of a cooked school meal1.
As well as directly impacting their mood and well-being2, pupils focus better after a nutritious hot meal3. Plus, children who try a variety of foods early in life are more likely to keep a healthy diet as they grow4.
That's why our focus is to provide the best fuel for your child to eat well and learn well: healthy hot meals packed with flavour, filled with goodness, and made with care.
Quote from Sophia Cornelius- apetito's Dietitian
"We believe it’s essential for children to explore new and exciting flavours from an early age, helping them develop a lifelong healthy eating habit. Our chefs carefully prepare every school meal with kids in mind, using nutritious ingredients, flavours they enjoy, and quality you can trust."
Outstanding meals start with outstanding ingredients. Therefore, we source the majority of our premium ingredients from trusted British and Irish farms that share our commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical trading standards.
This means your child's school meals contain the same ingredients you use at home: real food and real flavour with no hidden additives or preservatives.
No matter which of our 150 chef-prepared, nutritionist-approved meals you choose, you're guaranteed ingredients you can trust and quality you can taste.
You can rest assured that our meals are as safe as they are nutritious. Designed with children in mind, there's something for every dietary requirement.
