Real Food for Growing Minds: A new standard in School Meals

Real Food for Growing Minds: A new standard in School Meals

At Dindins, we’re changing the way international schools in Spain think about lunch.

For too long, school meals have been an afterthought — often bland, over-processed, and disconnected from what children actually need to grow, focus, and thrive. We’re here to fix that, one meal at a time.

We believe food served at school should be real, flavorful, and something kids genuinely look forward to. Not just because it tastes good (though it does), but because it helps build healthy habits for life.

The Dindins School Catering Solution

Our approach is simple: we design high-quality meals that are nutritious, globally inspired, and child-friendly — and we deliver them to your school, ready to serve.

No on-site kitchen? No problem.

Our system is built for flexibility. We take care of the menu development, cooking, and logistics. You don’t need to worry about kitchen staff, equipment, or food safety compliance,  we’ve got it all covered.

What you do get is a consistent supply of delicious, well-balanced meals, created with care by chefs who understand both nutrition and what children actually want to eat.

Why This Matters Now More Than Ever

Expectations around school food are rising fast, and so are the regulations. Spain recently passed new national rules banning ultra-processed, sugary foods from school menus in an effort to fight childhood obesity.

✅ One of the big benefits of having Dindins as your school lunch provider is full compliance with Spain’s new national regulations on healthy school meals.

Schools need a reliable partner that not only understands these regulations, but shares the deeper values behind them. That’s where we come in.

Our meals are built to meet the nutritional needs of growing children, supporting focus, energy, and healthy development throughout the day. But just as importantly, we make food that kids enjoy. No more half-eaten lunches or bored palates.

 

A Global Menu for International Students

We know that international schools serve diverse communities. Our menu reflects that, with dishes from around the world, adapted to suit young eaters. Comforting, nutritious, and just adventurous enough to expand young palates.

Every meal is designed to be:

  • Nutritious & balanced
  • Globally inspired
  • Kid-approved
  • Delivered ready to serve
  • Adaptable for allergies and preferences

We also offer full menu flexibility, meaning we’ll work with you to tailor meals to your school’s specific needs, age groups, cultural mix, and logistics.

 

How It Works: A Custom Approach for Every School

At DinDins, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model.

When a school partners with us, we start by sitting down together. We want to understand your exact setup, schedule, student base, and dietary requirements. From there, we craft a program that’s fully adapted to your needs, whether you serve 50 students or 500.

We’ll collaborate closely to make sure the logistics are smooth, the menus are on point, and the meals are a success from day one.

Less work for you. Better food for your students.

That’s the Dindins way.
