Relevant menus -Food for pupils, chosen by pupils!

Operating a service in one of the most deprived areas of the country we know how important lunch is to our young people in Blackpool.

Our talented chefs and cooks create two exciting menus per year and have adopted the “Health by Stealth” approach. We will work in partnership with you to bespoke a menu that meets the needs and tastes of your young people.

When developing our menu the team look at current food trends and the creation of new dishes. We meet with school councils and collate feedback from young people who have tasted our new dishes and then we meet together as a menu planning team to discuss and finalise our new menus. This builds the core menu that can be adapted and changed to ensure we meet the needs of your school, maintain retention, increase uptakeand most importantly ensuring every child has access and receives a healthy, nutritious meal every school day.
