School Dinners

All children are welcome to stay and enjoy a meal at lunchtimes. Meals are cooked at Delabole School and brought to our school. The cost is £2.45 per day. Orders and payments are made through ParentPay and you will be issued a log in and password when you join. Alternatively children may bring a packed lunch which they may eat with the other children. There is fresh water always available for children to drink.

Aspens
Aspens is the company chosen by our school to provide the meal service to students. They specialise in providing catering to schools and colleges across the country and are passionate about serving fresh, high quality and locally sourced food that is cooked in our kitchen.

We are always in the mood for good food!
 
We are Aspens Services, a market leading education 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 school meals each day and cater for individual dietary requirements.

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.

We make sure that our Food Festival lunch 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 make the most of fruit and vegetables that are in season, because that’s when they taste best and are the most planet friendly too.

Free school meals
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are currently entitled to receive UNIVERSAL FREE SCHOOL MEALS! We think it’s a fantastic idea so please make sure that you support this initiative. Not only will you be saving money but you will also be giving your child a nutritionally balanced meal to fuel their bodies for the rest of the learning day.

Please note that this is not to be confused with FREE SCHOOL MEALS that you may be entitled to for children in any year. Please request the relevant form from the school office or look at this website: https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals

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

Joining our team
It takes some pretty special people to make sure that we give our schoolchildren and young adults great food every day. We are keen to add to our teams with talented people and so if you are looking for an opportunity to challenge yourself and learn new skills, let us know.
