Scolarest: A Campaign on Two Fronts

The Students’ Union is currently working with consultants from Jamie Oliver’s 15 Foundation to create a realistic model for in-house catering (college runnung it themselves rather than out-soucring to a private company like scolarest). This would include local sourcing, a Living Wage for staff and a training scheme for apprentice 15 foundation chefs from Lewisham College.

Also from January, a branch of Cafe Crema, called Gold en Creme will be opperating out of the new Common Room on the 1st floor of the Students’ Union. This is to pull students away from Scolarest ran Loafers and the Canteen to a cheaper, ethical alternative.

We intend to drive away Scholarests profits and make remaining at Goldsmiths a financial impossibilty for the company.

The Union as part of the contract with Crema has ensured they will undercut Scolarest’s prices - we’re effectively subsidising student food whilst maintaining it as an organic and far more nutrious option.

Inexpensive & ethical. Exactly what Scolarest are not.
