Burchetts Green CE Infant School is a 'nut-free' school

BURCHETTS GREEN CE INFANT SCHOOL - SCHOOL LUNCHES & MENUS       

Our lunches are provided by Edwards and Ward.

Edwards and Ward are committed to providing a nutritious and innovative menu using high quality ingredients.  They aim to continuously develop their food and service to exceed expectations and they will do this by communicating with both parents and pupils regularly.

Edwards and Ward have a flexible approach to menu planning making sure the needs of our school and pupils are met.  They are able to cater for children with special dietary requirements due to allergies or medical conditions, or those children who request a vegan menu.  Details can be found at the bottom of this page.

They are highly passionate about their service and really look forward to working with the school and pupils to create a dining experience that even the newest of our pupils will look forward to.

Edwards and Ward have highlighted a number of key areas that they will concentrate on during the term. They will concentrate on a service based on fresh food that encourages new tastes and food adventures for the pupils to enjoy; Fun Food Days and events.

Develop and train the catering team to exceed their personal expectations which in turn can only provide a better experience for our children.

The food children eat in school is very important for their education. Not only does a well-balanced diet help with general health but establishing healthy eating habits at a young age can give them knowledge for the future.

Edwards and Ward understands primary school children and their likes and dislikes so they tailor their menus to encourage maximum uptake.

Our latest lunch menu can be found below.

There are also 'Theme Day' lunches during the year ie Chinese New Year, Easter and Christmas Lunch.
