Let's go on a Food Adventure

In primary schools we invite pupils to join our Food Adventure and become Food Explorers.

This means discovering new flavours, learning about where food comes from and having fun at lunchtime.

Check out our primary school menu and theme days.

Food Central is all about consistently good food with something for everyone.

Our menus are led by pupil surveys, so we know we’re serving what is in demand.
