Who we service
In care catering, food content and nutrition are priorities rather than food trends in other sectors of the catering world. As such, the Birchall Foodservice product range reflects the needs and demands of this sector appropriately.

Training & Events
Visit our TED Events Centre
Our in-house Training, Exhibitions, and Development (TED) centre at the main depot in Burnley serves as a dynamic venue for a variety of foodservice industry events. It’s a place where professionals can deepen their knowledge through gluten-free workshops, Natasha’s Law seminars, dysphagia training events, and industry-specific trade shows.
You can make a booking for an upcoming event at birchallfoodservice.co.uk
Dysphagia Training
Ideal for healthcare sector caterers seeking to enhance their skillset in preparing dysphagia-friendly meals. We’ve teamed up with Gary Brailsford of Dining with Dignity for this opportunity to explore innovative and straightforward approaches to crafting meals that are both nutritious and enjoyable for individuals with dysphagia.
The Birchall Food Show and the Christmas Food Show
The Birchall Food Show is our grand annual tradeshow, drawing catering professionals from across the hospitality, education, and healthcare sectors. Our Christmas Food Show is similar, but has a large focus on festive products to help caterers plan for the Christmas season.
Register your place at an event at birchallfoodservice.co.uk
Allergen Training
Whether you work in care, education or hospitality, our Food Allergy and Intolerance Training sessions give you and your team the knowledge and confidence needed to handle allergens safely and protect your customers, students or residents. Over 2–3 hours you’ll learn practical, easy-to-apply skills that you can take back to your business.
Delivering a Better Tomorrow
Our Delivering a Better Tomorrow initiative covers all aspects of our corporate social responsibility, including reducing our carbon emissions, giving back to the community and making sure our employees are happy and healthy at work. Below is just a snapshot of our initiatives. You can read our full ESG report at birchallfoodservice.co.uk
Reducing our Carbon Emissions
In recent years, we have installed 388 solar panels on our roof, introduced electric vehicles to our fleet, and have been certified as a nil to landfill site. Thanks to these actions, we have significantly reduced our carbon emissions from our 2019 baseline year. This reduction was verified by our specialist environmental partner, Climate Partner.
Andy’s Man Club
Andy’s Man Club is our chosen charity partner for 2026 and 2027. They co-ordinate weekly peer-to-peer support groups all across the United Kingdom and online to support men’s mental health. We want to raise funds and awareness for Andy’s Man Club so they can carry on doing their fantastic work.
Supporting Down Town Community Kitchen & Grocery
We’re proud to support Down Town cafe and grocery with food and equipment onations. We also donate unused stock from our annual tradeshow and other events. These contributions help ensure that local families have access to affordable meals and essential items, while also reducing food waste.
Employee Wellbeing
In addition to a competitive salary and pension, all employees benefit from: employee discounts, social club, Christmas savings scheme, free fitness classes & reduced cost gym membership, children’s holiday club discount, employee recognition scheme, mental health first aiders, an on-site counsellor, long service awards and private medical insurance.
We’ve used a lot of suppliers since we opened over 15 years ago, but we’ve always stuck with Birchalls because of the great service. If I’m ringing up stressing on a Friday, they always do their best to help and I never get a ‘no’ or a blank answer.
Giddy Kippers Party & Play Centre
Birchalls have been our principal food supplier at the hospice for a number of years. We have always found Birchalls to be very helpful with any query we might have. It’s a real family business and that is evident in all of our interactions; they really care about us as a customer.
Wirral St. John’s Hospice
We’re really happy with the service we receive from Birchalls, especially from the friendly drivers. We didn’t get this level of service from our previous supplier!
