We will also be holding some themed lunches across the next few terms to add a little variety and difference to the menu working along side each school and their term focuses. Look out for these in your school news letters. I am pleased to share with you that the launch of our “super sauce” has been well received by the children, and hopefully you as a parent , knowing we are trying to get as much vitamins, minerals and vegetables into a child's diet when they are dining with us for lunch. If I can be of any assistance our you would like to discuss any dishes on the menu then please get in touch.
