School lunches
We are Aspens Services, a market leading contract catering company specialising in school food.
We only work in the education sector, so we know what our customers want. Mixing this knowledge with an understanding of what’s hot in the food world sparks creativity and excitement in our chefs. Our kitchens provide delicious home-cooked food each day and cater for individual dietary requirements.
We make sure that our Food Festival menus are packed with comfort dishes and, at the same time, we help pupils to take their first steps with new tastes to explore.
We don’t just provide food, we play our part to educate children and raise awareness about nutrition, food and where it comes from, so that they can make informed and mindful choices. Feeding our future.
Menu
The school menu rotates on a three-week basis and refreshes for Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer seasons.

How school meals can support your child’s diet
All children need a nutritious, balanced meal to grow and meet their full potential.
School meals need to be compliant with the School Food Standards. These were created to help children develop healthy eating habits and ensure that they get the energy and nutrition they need throughout the whole school day. Therefore, parents should be able to trust that the school’s menu has been developed based on scientific nutrition research.

Special Diets
Special diets are an integral part of our catering provision, whether as a result of an ethical or religious belief or a food intolerance or allergy. To register any special diets as a requirement, please complete and return the special diets form to the school office as soon as possible.
