On Monday 11th March, the School Kitchen team, led by CEO and founder David Nicholson, welcomed friends, family, press and the York Civic Party to celebrate the launch of this exciting new initiative in York.

Guests were served food from the first four restaurants launched by School Kitchen – including Sri Lankan, Mexican, Thai and Spanish cuisine – in the school canteen of Carr Junior School, the first location of the new enterprise.

David Nicholson commented: “It was great to be able to showcase the essence of School Kitchen and have people tasting the food. We’re so excited for people to be able to order from us from 19th March and experience everything we have to offer. We hope this is just the beginning.”

By partnering with local schools, School Kitchen uses their kitchens when the schools aren’t using them and runs home delivery takeaway restaurants from them. The initiative also runs free cookery demonstrations/classes for pupils, runs an apprenticeship scheme for recent school leavers in the area and ensures all staff (chefs, delivery riders, etc.) are fairly employed, with no zero hours contracts and no commission-only earnings School Kitchen works with local chefs from diverse culinary backgrounds to run multiple restaurants from each school kitchen.  Sustainability is an important part of their work and they are installing solar panels at the schools they work with to cover all the energy usage, only use bicycles and electric mopeds for all deliveries, ensuring all packaging is recyclable, reusable, or compostable and sourcing ingredients from local farmers and suppliers whenever possible.
