Catering

Pupils will have a variety of food options available to them at lunchtime in our Bates Dining Room, all provided by our catering services, Holroyd Howe. The catering team are experienced in handling all dietary and allergy needs and pupils only have to ask a member of the team if they need assistance.

Holroyd Howe encourage pupils to try new things and enjoy a balanced diet, offering plenty of different ingredients, cuisines and culinary styles.

The Bates dining room is for eating in and offers three hot options as well as a range of cold salads, sandwiches, baguettes, fruit pots and soft drinks. There is also a ‘Grab and Go’ food outlet, which offers both hot and cold meals, with the hot counter dispensing items such as pasta pots, noodles or paninis on a rolling two-week menu. Sustainability is a vital consideration for all of us, so the hot ‘grab and go’ facility will only be able to students who bring clean reusable bowls or pots to collect food.

Lunch for Year 7 is 12.30pm to 1.55pm. Year 8 and above do not start their lunch until 12.40pm, allowing Year 7 to start lunch in relative peace and quiet!
