Delicious, Nutritious Lunchtimes at Chinthurst
Every day, our children enjoy a delicious selection of nutritious, home-cooked meals lovingly prepared by our wonderful catering team.
Our catering is provided by external catering company, Lodestone House, whose mission is to bring fresh, seasonal ingredients to the dishes our children eat in school. This commitment to quality and variety inspires the fantastic range of lunchtime options available each day.
Our weekly menus run on a three-week rotation and are refreshed every term, ensuring there is always something new and exciting to enjoy. Alongside the daily hot meal choices, children can also choose from jacket potatoes, pasta dishes, an extensive salad bar, soup and fresh fruit, all available every day.
Introducing our Catering Team
Leading our catering team are our brilliant Catering Manager, Rute, and our Head Chef, Vicky. As well as overseeing food supplies and managing costs, Rute is also a talented chef and baker, responsible for many of the delicious homemade cakes enjoyed by both children and visitors alike. Guests at Chinthurst events such as our Time to Talk Café, Sports Day and Grandparents’ Morning are always spoilt for choice by the tempting array of freshly baked treats on offer. Vicky is responsible for cooking the children’s favourite meals and is well known to them all, helping to ensure they eat a well-balanced meal each day.
Caring for Every Child
At Chinthurst, the wellbeing of every child is our priority, and we take allergies and dietary requirements extremely seriously. We aim to be a nut and sesame seed free school and work closely with families to support children with individual allergies, intolerances and special dietary needs. Our catering team carefully prepares meals to ensure that every child can enjoy safe, nutritious and delicious food each day.
