Lunchtime

A healthy diet is important for children’s development and a good lunch will ensure that they are able to concentrate during the afternoon. At Allfarthing you can choose between a cooked meal or a packed lunch from home. Our school lunches are all cooked on the premises from fresh ingredients. In January 2024 we made a decision to use halal meat for our school dinners; this has given more pupils at school the option of a meat hot dinner which we are very proud of.   There is always a choice of hot and cold food and always a vegetarian option.   

Children can have salad and fresh fruit with every meal and our lunches conform to all the food standards and nutritional recommendations.

• Chicken, lettuce and tomato
• Tuna and tomato
• Salmon and cucumber
• Hummus and red pepper

Other suitable items include:

• Fruit, both fresh or dried
