Our menus   

We have embraced the Government's legislation and created a new nutritionally based 4 week menu. If you roll your mouse over the menu items below you will see we have provided nutritional information about the food served.

To help everyone understand the importance and relevance of this information you can download the guidance notes.

We have made major developments in providing high quality menus that not only give a balance of nutrients, but include foods that children will actually eat and enjoy. All menus now contain more fruit, salad and vegetables than ever before.

We offer a wide range of informed food choices to satisfy our diverse customer base. A traditional 2 course hot meal, jacket potatoes with a choice of fillings, a wide selection of salad from the salad bar and in some schools a selection of sandwiches served on a variety of breads including wraps. This is accompanied by a dessert or fresh seasonal fruit from our infamous fruit platters and a drink. We are confident that school meals in Stockport continue to improve as the importance of healthier eating and exercise becomes embedded in our community. For a much more detailed explanation of the new menu and how the Government standards affect the meals we provide you can download the latest 2011/12 brochure, School meals in Stockport just keep getting better.

Some aspects of the new menu include:

• More fruit and vegetables included in every meal
• More oily fish
• Healthier drinks
• No confectionery or savoury snacks will be served at all
• We do not deep-fry foods

We have also created a Themed Menu Events Calendar, you can download upcoming themes for 2011/12.

Special Dietary Requirements
If your child has any special dietary needs, please speak to the Cook in your child's school who will arrange an appointment for you with the Area Manager to discuss a suitable menu for your child. We can cater for children with specific dietary requirements such as diabetes, peanut allergies and coeliacs. Request for special diets should be supported by specific medical referral.
