Introducing Copper Pan Kitchen

Our new in-house culinary brand bringing warmth, flavour, and familiarity to school meals.

Copper Pan Kitchen is at the heart of The School Lunch Collective – where our passionate chefs prepare lunches using locally sourced New Zealand ingredients.

Created for our Copper Pan Kitchens (CPKs), this new brand reflects our commitment to nourishing students with wholesome, thoughtfully prepared meals made with care.

Every Copper Pan Kitchen meal tells a story. From our slow-simmered sauces to hand-cut vegetables, we’re putting the cook back in school cooking. No shortcuts. No compromise. Just honest, delicious food that fuels learning and brings joy to the lunch table.

Whether it’s a hearty pasta bake, a fragrant veggie curry, or a crowd-pleasing burger – Copper Pan Kitchen meals are made with purpose, passion, and pantry smarts.

Key Features:

✔️ Made from locally sourced, real, wholesome ingredients

✔️ Designed for schools – loved by tamariki

✔️ Prepared in our Copper Pan Kitchens by trained chefs

✔️ Menus that celebrate cultural diversity and seasonal inspiration
