Reduce exposure and risk

A single source for all your food, drink and catering needs, including produce, meat and poultry

As pupils and staff return to school, operating safely and hygienically – and being seen to be doing so – is extremely important for everyone’s health and peace of mind. Buying everything you need on a single order from Brakes minimises the number of people coming onto your school premises; all our drivers are temperature checked every day, fully trained in relevant hygiene and social distancing practices, and DBS-checked for your peace of mind.

Our range includes thousands of products across all categories, so you can buy everything you need from one source. As well as minimising contact with multiple suppliers, this can save you time and money, when we know both are under enormous pressure.
