Healthy Eating and Allergen Advice
Through our love of food, we source quality ingredients and our team produce all the food on site. We develop menus that are seasonal, modern, creative, imaginative, flexible and nutritious for the diverse population of the school, falling in line with the Government's School Food Standards Policy. In addition to the weekly menus and any themes or promotions, we have a range of healthy foods on offer every day to both students and staff.
We have several hot food counters and a deli service. If you have a specific allergy or dietary requirement please let us know.
We use a wide range of ingredients with many of our products containing various allergens. As such there may be traces of various allergens present across our product range. Customers who are intolerant or allergic to certain ingredients are advised to request further information from the Chef/Manager prior to purchase.
We cater for vegetarian, vegan and Halal diets with hot and cold choices - please see weekly menus and ask staff.
