School Meals & Nutrition

“I’m confident my children enjoy nutritious lunches every day, and I love that all the food is freshly prepared on-site. The match teas are absolutely unbeatable—especially the coffee cake, which is simply delicious!”

At Winterfold, lunchtime is a special time when all the children eat together alongside staff, fostering a strong sense of community. We place great emphasis on serving wholesome, carefully prepared meals using as much fresh, local produce as possible.

Our experienced catering team prepares all meals in-house, sourcing ingredients from trusted local suppliers. Menus are varied and generous, offering plenty of choice to suit all tastes and dietary needs.

Each day, pupils can select from two hot main courses, a vegetarian option, or help themselves to our popular pasta and salad bars. Desserts include a comforting hot pudding, fresh fruit, or yoghurt. Special dietary requirements are always accommodated.

In addition to lunch, light snacks are provided mid-morning and afternoon, as well as for children attending after-school activities.

To ensure the children’s voices are heard, we have a Food Committee made up of representatives from every Prep School form. This group meets termly to share feedback on recent meals and suggest menu improvements. Whenever possible, we implement their ideas to keep our offerings fresh and exciting.
