OUR FOOD

Local and Seasonal food

We understand how important a healthy and exciting diet is for growing, active young tummies and, as such, our excellent food is provided by independent school caterers Holroyd Howe. With the help of their nutritionists and highly trained chefs, our menus cater for all tastes and requirements to satisfy even the fussiest of eaters. All our meals a freshly produced on site using local and seasonal ingredients.

Breakfast

Our breakfast menu includes nutritious juices and smoothies, freshly baked pastries, hearty bacon and eggs, and comforting porridge. To keep things exciting, we also feature daily specials. Our goal is to provide a balanced and enjoyable breakfast experience for our boarders, setting them up for a successful and energetic day ahead.

Lunch

Catering for all age groups from 3 to 18 can be tricky but we think we have it covered.  A variety of hot meals, a salad bar, soup and bread, a pasta bar and delicious puddings are available every day.  We do our utmost to cater for special dietary needs and are happy to discuss these in person prior to a child starting at the school.

Lunch is offered in three sittings, with the Nursery and Prep School eating at 12 noon, Years 7 to 9 at 12.45 and the older years having their lunch at 13.15.

Dinner

Dinner is served at 17:30. Day children staying late for school functions can be booked in for tea at any time. Regular and flexible boarders automatically receive tea, which includes a variety of hot and cold main courses and desserts.
