Food Explorers

Every Food Explorer menu is made up of tasty dishes packed full of nutrients, with each meal offering Food Explorers at least 3 of their 5 a day.

Our theme days  offer lots of new flavours to explore and include competitions for pupils to win Food Explorer prizes.

Most of our schools will offer three choices of a Food Explorer hot main meal, including a vegetarian or vegan option, a selection of  pasta pots, jacket potatoes or a sandwich.

Every Food Explorer is offered vegetables, side salad, bread and drinking water with their main meal. For dessert, fresh fruit and yoghurt is offered as an alternative to the homemade dessert of the day.

Theme Days: 

To coincide with our menu, monthly Food Explorer theme days promotions are organised.  The special theme days are developed to correspond with the Food Explorer brand or national events. The promotions aim to spark children's curiosity and encourage conversations, whilst providing enjoyment for pupils of all ages.
