Steamplicity - fresh, nutritious food

This unique cooking system steam cooks fresh food in minutes, with all the taste, nutrition and vitality locked in.

Better health depends on the provision of fresh, nutritious food. We've developed Steamplicity, a unique technology that steams food - providing nutritious meals within minutes.

In fact, we're so confident about the benefits of Steamplicity, we're willing to guarantee a patient catering PEAT Excellent rating for your Trust within a year.

More choice, greater satisfaction

We have developed our menus with the help of patients, NHS staff, executive chefs and company dieticians. They provide nutritionally balanced à la carte menu choices for hot and cold meals. As they are cooked from raw ingredients, they provide excellent taste, texture and flavour. And as they are ready within minutes, they also offer meal time flexibility.

Space saving

Steamplicity is particularly convenient in areas where no kitchen facilities are available or space is limited, freeing up huge amounts of space from large conventional kitchens.

Cost saving

The capital outlay for equipment is far lower than with conventional or cook-chill methods. Less energy is used in cooking and fewer people are needed to prepare meals. This means more money can be spent on sourcing quality food for the plate.

Smarter, simpler, better

The secret lies in the packaging system and valve that are both exclusive to Compass Group. As the steam builds, the food cooks, locking in the flavour and goodness and delivering excellent results every time.

More nutritional goodness

We use fresh ingredients, including seasonal vegetables, from Compass Group's approved suppliers.
