Our Approach
At the heart of everything we do is our love of great tasting, fresh and healthy food, prepared by teams who care. We know pupils consider fast food as the biggest treat imaginable but we know that it does not make you feel good or live well.
That’s why we focus on every single aspect of our food to ensure our customers get the very freshest, natural fast food that is healthy, great tasting and nutritious. Over 98.3% of our food is prepared from fresh, all our meat Red Tractor assured, fish from sustainable stocks only and the fruit and veg UK sourced where possible.
Allergens
Whilst we have a nut free policy, all our food is prepared in an environment where food allergens and nut traces may be present. Food allergens are identified on our menus or packaging but if you have special dietary requirements , please speak to our Chef who will be happy to let you know what you are able to eat and if nothing on the menu is suitable, they will find you an alternative!
With the introduction of Natasha’s Law this autumn, we have revised our whole Grab and Go range, introducing new products, packaging and labelling. To comply with the law, all our pre-packaged goods made on site will be labelled with the full ingredient listing.
On The Menu
All our food is prepared from fresh, including a wide range of main meals (including vegetarian and / or vegan offers), freshly prepared salads, sandwiches and desserts, including fresh fruit. At break times, there are a selection of hot items accompanied by an array of muesli pots, home baked cakes, cookies and muffins.
This year we are introducing ‘Eat Smart’ an option on our lunch menu which allows customers to choose a dish that is based on healthier eating, whether it is the cooking style or ingredients. Centred around poultry, wholemeal pastas, brown rice and of course vegetables the meals are delicious and nutritious!
Accent Catering are a fabulous contractor. They always listen to feedback and understand our needs completely. They meet with us and discuss both individual needs as well as Students and Staff requests. The quality of food is very high with most dishes being freshly prepared on the day from locally sourced suppliers – very little frozen food is used which we believe is one of the reasons demand for hot meals is so high, this and their friendly highly effective staff.

“I just wanted to pass on my thanks to your staff who were absolutely brilliant today. We had to evacuate the Boys’ site due to a suspected gas leak so we took all the boys to the girls’ school. Please do pass on my thanks to the team - they were great - good humoured and practical and demonstrated great teamwork. Thank you for appointing such a great team of people. I sing Accent’s praises whenever people ask about our catering and today was another example of why!”

A Taste of Accent
All of this is backed up by great marketing and promotions. We run a variety of Special Days including Wimbledon, Chinese New Year, American which are fun and add real value to the daily lunch occasion. In addition, we have our Pop Up Kitchen days where classic Street Food meets the traditional lunch elements to add even more variety and flavours to lunch time. Look out for our Burrito, Mac’n’Cheese or Korean Pop Ups.
We also have our annual themes to help customers understand where food comes from and encourage them to try new and innovative dishes such as Beetroot Brownie or Sweetcorn Succotash. This year is ‘Well Seasoned’ and next year will focus on ‘Brains and Grains’.
Promotions
Our promotions focus on delivering great value for money. Whether it is a Main Meal Deal, a Street Food or Sandwich Meal Deal, they are all focused on assuring you that our customers can get a substantial lunch at a set price.
Free School Meals
If your child receives Free School Meals, they can choose any two items from the extensive daily menu (main course and dessert) for their free school meal, regardless of price, in recognition of the importance of meals at school. To pay for the meal, we will effectively credit your child’s account on a daily basis and this will be available for lunchtime and they will access the funds via our Biometric Finger Recognition, the same as the other students.
