Parent St Laurences National School
My son James loves the school Lunches provided by Rafters Food Services. The choice of foods is great, so easy to order and all nutritional information provided for all the meals. It is such a relief to know my son is being provided with a hot nutritional meal every day for his lunch. I cannot say enough about the food and how much my son loves it.

Parent St Laurences National School
My children really enjoy the meals they receive as part of the School Lunch programme provided by Rafters Food Services. I find the variety of options available great and the children do also. They find the lunches very tasty and have tried lots of new things since the service started which I am very happy about too!

Principal St Laurence’s National School
From the tendering stage right through to final contract, Rafters Food Services were excellent to deal with. They took our individual school requirements into consideration and delivered a solution to suit everyone. The food itself is of the highest quality and flavour, with the majority of staff themselves ordering also. The members of the Rafters team who visit the school are excellent. They are obliging, helpful, non-intrusive and look after the pupils whenever they can.

I really like the food provided by Rafters Food Services in our canteen. My favourite is the Pasta Carbonnara and all my friends agree also. Peter, Karen and Caitriona that look after us in our school canteen are always very friendly and helpful.

Ellen Grogan - Student 2nd Year
The food in our school canteen is really very good. I especially like the Chicken Curry Madras. The staff in the canteen are so friendly and provide us with a great service. The prices are good, and the variety is great for me as I am a picky eater.

I think the food provided by Rafters Food Services in our school is very good quality. The portion sizes are also really good, and prices are really competitive, and I like the fact that they have so many options to choose from daily. The staff looking after us in the school canteen are very friendly.
Holy Family Secondary School, Co Kildare
Mountrath Community School
Our school canteen is of the highest quality. The staff are so friendly and attentive. They care for the welfare of each student. Demelza, our canteen manager, takes time to ensure the food provided is not only tasty but also nutritious, offering a wide range of options for every dietary requirement. The food is delicious and at a reasonable price that us students can afford.

I can't say enough about our school canteen with Rafters Food Services. Not only is the food delicious, fresh and prepared with care, but the staff are incredibly friendly and very professional. The canteen ladies greet all students with a smile and go out of their way to look after us. The Lasagne and Garlic bread is the best in the world.

I love the food provided by Rafters Food Services. I like almost all the menu items offered but my absolute favourite would be the lasagne and Garlic Bread and the Pasta Carbonara. The staff are so friendly and go above and beyond to help us and ensure we all have a lunch every day.
