Independent Catering is the FRESH FOOD caterer at school offering varied menus using fresh U.K. meats, fresh salads and fresh vegetables every day from our local suppliers. Please see below a typical menu.

A cash-less payment system is operated, reducing the problems of cash in the school and encouraging healthy eating. Cheques must be made payable to INDEPENDENT CATERING and received in advance with the student’s names and address on the reverse.

This credit balance is debited each time a student purchases food items from the cafeteria at breakfast, break and lunch. A maximum daily spend limit of £5.00 (please state on tear off slip below or email us, should you wish to have a different daily limit); however an average daily spend is estimated at £3 per day. Main Meal and Dessert is £2.

In addition to the above, a freshly made selection of sandwiches, filled rolls and wraps, potted salads, salad bar, fruit salads, pasta/rice/noodle dishes of the day, filled hot panini breads, home-made soup of the day, filled jacket potatoes, biscuit and cakes, hot and cold drinks are available daily
