Lunches at Calcot Schools

We have our own in house catering team at Calcot Schools so we prepare our own fresh meals everyday. Each day we provide a selection of hot meals and these come served with fresh vegetables, salad and home made bread. Main courses include meat or fish dishes, a vegetarian option, a cold option and an alternative such as filled baked potato or salad. In addition, the children can select a pudding of their choice or a yoghurt and a piece of fresh fruit. Our menus include vegetarian options and we can cater for allergies and food intolerances if we are notified in advance. Our catering team are passionate about providing our children with a varied, healthy and nutritious diet. Our kitchens have been highly commended for their 5 star food hygiene rating.
