Fresh Food Daily

Abbey School lunches are made in-house by our Catering Manager, Mrs. Ann Retallick, who has been creating lunches for our pupils in Abbey School and Holiday Clubs for over 20 years. She really knows what children enjoy! 

To give them the energy they need for the afternoon sessions it is very important that children eat at lunchtime, rather than simply push food around their plates. That is why (with the noted exception of 'chips' and the unspeakable 'turkey twizlers', which we have never served) we offer food that children enjoy eating. Weekly menus, that over time have become proven 'hits' with our pupils, are published on the school notice boards. 

Fresh food is delivered each day, and menus that are appealing to children are created and served by Mrs. Retallick and her team, so don't get too flustered when a meal such as "Eggy Cheese" appears on the menu as it is a fully nutritious and hugely favourite lunch of boiled eggs, grated Cheddar cheese, boiled or creamed potatoes and salad. It may sound odd to you, but the children love it, it's wholesome and it also provides all the energising nutrition needed by busy children with a full afternoon of hard work ahead of them! 

  Fresh food is delivered daily.

Special Dietary Needs

Mrs. Retallick and her team are pleased to prepare separate dishes for children with particular dietary, social or religious requirements and if such matters affect your child, please come into school and discuss your specific needs with her. If we are not already aware of your particular requirements or how to prepare the special meals that your child needs, for the benefit of your child we are very happy to learn from you, so call in and discuss what is needed and work with us until we can confidently provide your child with what is required. If you can do it, we can do it, even if we might need your help for a while at first.
