About us

Who we are

Local Food Links is an award winning, not for profit organisation, established in 2006. We now provide freshly made and locally sourced meals for over 60 schools in Dorset and East Devon.

We have kitchen teams based in Blandford Forum, Bridport and Weymouth.

All meals are created in our 3 kitchen hubs and delivered to schools by our fleet of vans and their friendly drivers.

We have our own online ordering system built in collaboration with our school partners and their parents. It is easy to use and onboarding and training is all part of our service when you work with us.

What we love to do

Create delicious school food!  Pupils agree with us and tell us they think the meals are “yummy”.

We listen to feedback from pupils and parents.  We visit our schools regularly and host termly meetings in every area.  This is because we want to provide meals that pupils really want to eat.
