McCain Foods (GB) is a leading UK frozen food manufacturer and supplier to foodservice and retail customers. We have been making food you can trust for over 35 years and are committed to providing nutritionally compliant, top quality and cost effective food solutions and promotional support to our education customers.

Frozen food is excellent for reducing waste, saving on time and locking-in freshness, enabling school chefs to run a cost effective, efficient kitchen.

The McCain flagship Simply Potato range, which has been specifically developed for use in schools, is prepared without the use of oil and can be served without restriction as it meets the requirements of the Nutrition and Food Based Standards. Simply Potato is available as wedges, slices, dice and roasts to provide school cooks with time saving and flexible solutions. Adding herbs or spices before cooking to provide menu variety, and dice can be steam cooked to make delicious, lump-free mash in 20 minutes.

Alternatives pizzas are perfect for a break time snack or lunch service and have the added goodness of wheatgerm and fibre which helps menus to meet nutritional requirements.

All McCain chips are made with 100% British potatoes which are grown for us by over 300 British farmers. McCain chips carry the Red Tractor logo, confirming our requirement for best environmental practices and support of rural communities. From field to fork, McCain guarantees consistently great tasting foods that caterers can rely on.

Choose from McCain Oven Chips which contain 5% Fat or McCain Delights, fried chips that contain less than 6.5% fat and 0.5% saturated fat.

The McCain 5% fat range includes roasts, wedges, dice and lumberjacks, and offers great tasting food perfect for oven cooking.

McCain Alternatives is a range of kids favourite foods which meets the Nutrition and Food based standards but still delivers all the great taste you'd expect from McCain.

McCain also has a wide range of promotional activity that caterers can use to drive uptake in primary and secondary schools.

Many primary schools have been using McCain’s SuperSpuds promotional material, which includes posters and stickers, to support learning and communicate how nutrition affects the body. In secondary schools a range of Instant Win promotions, which can be tailored to suit the needs of individual caterers, have proved popular.

McCain is also happy to help with meal deals, themed menus and provide point of sale.
