We are delighted to be part of a county-wide professional school meals service which is designed to be popular with students and to offer value for money. All menu items meet the National Guidelines for healthy food within school and are analysed using nutritional packages to ensure that they provide a balanced diet and essential nutrients for secondary aged students.
Our catering outlets are open each school day as follows:
- Breakfast Service: 8.00am to 8.30am
- Morning Break Service: 10.55am to 11.15am
- Lunch Service: 12.15pm to 1.00pm
Our popular breakfast service offers a variety of food and drink including toast, croissants, scones, muffins, teacakes, bagels and yoghurts.
During our morning break and lunchtime services, food is available from our hot and cold food outlets. Popular items include sandwiches, baguettes, panini, hot chicken wraps, bagels, pasta pots, wraps and salads. Cookies, muffins and the cake of the day are also widely enjoyed. A variety of drinks that meet school food nutritional standards are also available to buy and there are drinking fountains throughout the school.
Students can build a meal with the items they enjoy or opt for one of our ‘meal deals’ (including a vegetarian option) at a fixed price. For example, students can buy a daily special main course with vegetables, a dessert and a drink. Alternatively, for the same price, students can choose a baguette deal with with a cookie and a drink.
