What Do the Parents Think?
Hear directly from the families whose children enjoy our fresh, inclusive meals every single day.
"As a parent of a child with multiple food allergies, I am always a bit anxious about nursery mealtimes. However, The Steel Spoon has been absolutely brilliant. They manage her dietary requirements with so much care, ensuring her alternative meals are like for the like to what everyone else gets. She never feels left out and always gets to enjoy a variety of flavours. The transparency of their ingredients is a huge plus for us. We are very lucky our nursery chose them."
Sheffield Parent
"So much easier than faffing around with packed lunches every morning. The food is way better than what I’d send in anyway and my kid actually clears their plate."
Rotherham Parent
"Love that I can skip the lunchbox prep. The meals from The Steel Spoon are great and it’s a relief knowing they’re getting a decent hot lunch instead of just a sandwich."
