School Lunches
We are delighted to be working with The Pantry as our new school catering provider.
The Pantry is passionate about providing high-quality food made from carefully sourced ingredients, with clear traceability from farm to fork. Their menus are nutritionally balanced, filling, and appetising.
Children can look forward to:
- Menus made with over 75% freshly prepared ingredients
- Two portions of vegetables served with every meal
- Freshly made bread baked daily
- Unlimited visits to the salad bar, featuring a variety of fresh options
- Nutritious homemade dishes, including the special recipe Pantry Tomato Sauce, which is used in many of their dishes and contains 6 hidden herbs and veggies – supercharging school lunches with the nutrients children need to support growth and development
- Freshly baked desserts containing at least 50% fruit or vegetables – and they still taste like a treat!
- Exciting theme days, competitions, promotions and special events throughout the year
