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.
Healthcare Education
Allergies, government legislation, growing competition from the high street. The modern school caterer certainly has a lot to deal with.
We can help with all aspects of education catering, from meal planning for early years to street food concepts for higher education.
Hospitality
You’ve got a lot on your plate and we feel that you need the best support possible.
We closely follow emerging food trends and develop inspiring products to ensure your menus are always on-trend and offering the latest styles and flavour innovations.
Workplaces
From dealing with different shift patterns to ensuring you have nutritious offerings for various dietary and religious requirements, catering for large workforces can be a challenging task. We have the experience and know-how to provide food and support to staff canteens of any size.
This app is an absolute game changer. Its functionality is outstanding, and allows us to order as we walk around our stores, fridges and kitchens.
OrderMate is the name of our online ordering platform, specifically designed with the caterer in mind. Its aim is to offer a simple method of ordering for our customers, and to provide full visibility of our product range with important allergen and nutritional information.

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!

DISHWASHING
We have launched a Return to Recycle programme in partnership with SUEZ recycling and recovery UK. This initiative ensures that dispensers are reliably recycled at the end of their lifecycle, helping to reduce our environmental impact and bringing us closer to our 100% circular mission.
Although Wrapmaster® dispensers are built to last, our new Return to Recycle scheme enables chefs and operators to responsibly recycle both Wrapmaster® and other brand dispensers into new products. Participants in the Return to Recycle programme will receive a voucher for a free Wrapmaster® dispenser*.

Reducing our Carbon Footprint
In the past 5 years, we have installed 400 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 reduced our carbon emissions by a huge 46% between 2019 and 2022. This reduction was verified by our specialist environmental partner, Climate Partner.
Lancashire Mind Partnership
Lancashire Mind is Birchall Foodservice’s chosen charity partner for 2024 and 2025. We’re working together to raise vital funds for the people of Lancashire who may be experiencing poor mental health and the barriers this can bring.
Natasha Allergy Research Foundation
The foundation is the Country Range Group’s chosen annual charity for the next three years. The partnership will see CRG and its members (of which we are one) work alongside the charity to raise compassion, understanding and, crucially, vital funds, to help make food allergy history.
