Don't just take our word for it

“We all had a brilliant time at The Care & Education Show; the tour, the suppliers, the demos and (the students’ favourite part) sampling the food & drink! It was a really well organised event and we all gained a lot from it. Thank you!"
Macclesfield College, Cheshire
“What a brilliant facility. The perfect venue for our seminar. Thanks for the tour and arranging the pastries. Hope to use you again.”
East Lancs Chamber of Commerce
"I recently had the pleasure of attending a Dysphagia Workshop at Birchall Foodservice. The training was informative and really well-organised! Gary, the trainer, was a very engaging speaker and made the day both fun and educational."
Turfcote Care & Nursing Home, Rossendale
"The Dysphagia Workshop was very good. The fact that it was run by a professional chef made a massive difference for me. I have worked in food all my working life, healthcare is new to me, so the terminology and demonstrations made sense and put things into perspective for me.”
Worthington Lake Care Home, Wigan
“The BIG Event was a great experience. It was really nice to see and meet the suppliers and, of course, the people who run Birchall Foodservice!! I recommend attending this show.”
Oakhill School, Whalley
"We very much enjoy coming to the open days you provide where we get to meet the suppliers and sample the food, we are already booked onto the next one."
RochCare Group
"Myself and some of my team recently attended the dysphagia training day you provide, and this was some of the best training we have attended. The instructor was very knowledgeable, and we really like that the day was a mixture of theory and hands on"
RochCare Group
“I found the Less is More event really informative and useful. I picked up some great tips and insights about menu design, profit margins and creating an unforgettable dining experience for guests. I’m glad I attended and I would definitely recommend future Less is More events to caterers.”

"Birchalls have provided training opportunities free of charge for staff and always give us competitive prices which enables us to make savings. They also always kindly donate food products for events when we are trying to raise funds for the hospice."
