Children in Reception are able to pre-order their menu choice – information is sent home at the end of each term.  Children also have a choice of a jacket potato with either beans, cheese or tuna or a sandwich plate.  The sandwich plate consists of a cheese, ham, or tuna baguette, vegetable sticks and fruit, a pizza or sausage roll, cake or bun and a carton of fresh juice.

• fresh meat and poultry sourced from the region;
• fruit and vegetables sourced regionally where possible using local suppliers;
• products free from additives associated with health problems in young children;
• fats free from hydrogenated oils; with
