“She and her team have previously won Welsh Catering Team of the Year on a regional and national level from the Local Authority Catering Association.

“They are always willing to help any other school kitchen and make the most of the fantastic kitchen facilities they have to work in.

Congratulations on this latest recognition of your fantastic work for the well-being of our children!”
