School Lunches
School Lunches
At our school, we are proud to offer delicious, well-balanced meals that are freshly prepared and delivered by Black Pepper Lunches, a trusted local provider.
Sourced Locally
Their meals are made with seasonal, locally grown produce, supporting local farmers and reducing food miles. This ensures that children enjoy fresh, high-quality ingredients every day.
Healthy and Nutritious
Each meal is carefully planned to be healthy, balanced, and appropriately portioned. With both meat and vegetarian options, plus a daily jacket potato choice, there’s something for everyone.
Well Presented
Meals are served by staff who take pride in presentation. Lunchtimes are more than just eating – they’re a chance to socialise, learn good table manners, and enjoy food together in a friendly environment.

- A drink (water or fruit juice).
