Healthy food for healthy minds
Freshly prepared each and every day, our tasty and nutritious meals are made from scratch, on our school site by 'The Kitchen @ Meoncross' Team.
Meoncross School has a healthy and enthusiastic approach to food, offering a wide variety of freshly cooked nutritious meals, which are procured where possible, from high-quality local suppliers.
There are a variety of options for our pupils, including vegetarian dishes and a salad bar. We also include a range of proteins in our weekly menus to support cognitive health, as well as a variety of beans and pulses for plenty of imaginative plant-based options.
Catered for individual pupils
Our 'Kitchen @ Meoncross' Team know what makes a great and nutritious lunch, and they provide this daily for the benefit of all our pupils. We ensure an outstanding experience for our pupils, providing healthy and balanced meals, which support their development and enrich the educational experience. We believe in an innovative and seasonal approach to cooking, using fresh ingredients and cooking from scratch.
Chef Debbie, who heads the 'Kitchen @ Meoncross', ensures her team takes the time to get to know all children and any special requirements they may have. Parents can be confident that their child’s needs are catered for. Some children might need a little extra encouragement to try something new, or there may be certain foods that for religious or allergy reasons, they can't have. The Team are always on hand to provide the best possible care and catering for our pupils.
We are proud

Food allergies
Prioritising your child's safety
'The Kitchen @ Meoncross' have been certified Allergen Aware by the Allergen Accreditation For Food Services and Licensed Businesses.
The team have all undergone extensive training and during their Allergen Audit, were able to demonstrate outstanding technical and professional ability when managing allergens safely across the business.
Ensuring our children enjoy the best and safest food, is always at the forefront of our minds and something we are so passionate about at Meoncross.
Excellent food hygiene
With a Level 5 rating (the highest score available), our standards have been judged to be "very good and fully compliant with the law."
Food hygiene is of the utmost importance to our catering staff and we are proud to have consistently been rated as 5 for over 18 years now.
Whilst we are delighted to be at the top of the scale, we do feel that all elements within the inspection are standard to us and we would expect nothing less for our pupils.
