Menus
In order for our food to be eaten at its best, all our meals are cooked freshly every day. Fresh fruit and vegetables are delivered on a regular basis, sourced from local farmers and food growers, to ensure the quality remains high.
Exciting Theme Days to spark your child’s appetite
Throughout the school year, we host special theme days that bring learning and fun to the lunch table. Aligned with the curriculum, national events, and other exciting topics, each theme day features a brand-new menu designed to introduce your child to a world of delicious flavors. These events not only expand their palate but also make lunchtime an adventure they’ll look forward to!
Catering to your child’s dietary needs
We offer a variety of dietary menus to suit different needs, through our meal selector and at your school office. If your child has a medical dietary requirement, simply contact your school office to arrange a meeting with our on-site catering staff. We’ll work closely with you to ensure your child’s specific needs are met.
Our menus meet School Food Standards, with all new dishes child-tested before they’re added. Fresh fruit, salad, and semi-skimmed milk are always included. We’re also committed to sustainability - using MSC-certified fish, and several free-range and Red Tractor approved ingredients.
You can see our primary school menu on our website or you can download a PDF copy of our three-week menu to print at home.
