About Us

Welcome to CostSectorCatering.co.uk

The Cost Sector Catering website is the only dedicated online resource for the UK's foodservice community.

Our monthly magazine, established in the market since 1993, is already essential reading for caterers, chefs and managers within the public sector, health and education, and across all areas of contract catering.

We cover all aspects of foodservice, be they in-house or run by contract caterers. This encompasses NHS and private hospitals, nursing homes, school meals (state and independent schools), government departments, meals on wheels and welfare, prison catering, police, fire and MoD, as well as on-board travel catering.

With a deserved reputation for excellence that has been built up over the years, Cost Sector Catering gains added insight into the industry thanks to relationships built up with key organisations such as the Local Authority Caterers Association (LACA), the Hospital Caterers Association (HCA), the National Association of Care Catering (NACC), Prison Caterers, the University Caterers Organisation (TUCO) and the Defence Catering Group.

It is read by the decision makers who run workplace, staff and visitor feeding, school meals, prison feeding, meals on wheels, patient catering, venue and event catering and even feeding crew on oil rigs and ships.

CostSectorCatering.co.uk extends the brand and aims to deepen our relationship with the industry by offering a more interactive experience. Users can comment on news stories, discuss hot topics of the day (such as Jamie Oliver's assault on school meals) or share information in our online discussion forums.

The aim of the site is to create a unique facility granting access to all intelligence, information, tools and advice any caterer - in-house or private sector - might need to keep abreast of new developments and continue to operate at the forefront of the market.

Regular updates

Continually updated with the latest news and developments, the site aims to become a must-see daily destination for all those who want to keep an eye on the competition and stay ahead of the game. It will also be a prime source of information on top-quality products and services supplied to the trade.

Breaking news - including new contract wins and tenders - will form a major part of the site's content. We'll also be archiving all articles from the printed magazine each month, which will be accessible via our online Search facility.

Our jobs and careers module features the latest industry jobs and is powered by CareerBuilder.co.uk, one of the country's major online jobs boards with hundreds of vacancies in the hospitality sector each day.

Further sections include useful industry links, a comprehensive Supplier Directory, and key facts and figures on the sector, with data and market research provided by CaterFile Market Reports and the British Hospitality Association's Food and Service Management Survey.

Our Business Advice section features the latest guidance on food hygiene and health & safety legislation and best practice, from some of the country's top consultants.

As you can see, the site is already full of useful, practical information. But it will grow continually as we add new material week by week.

We think CostSectorCatering.co.uk will be the ideal starting point on the Internet for anyone involved in the UK foodservice market.
