Catering

The St Edward’s Catering team takes pride in providing varied, nutritious and appealing meals for the school community. The scope of our operation is large: we prepare up to two thousand meals each day for students and staff, as well as catering for a range of special events throughout the year.

As any parent of teenagers will know, 13 – 18 year olds are a demanding group, and we consult students regularly on the menus we provide. As a boarding school we have an additional responsibility to provide growing children with a balanced diet, and to ensure that each of the four mealtimes every day is an enjoyable experience. We run our menus over a three-weekly cycle to ensure variety. Over recent years we have also reorganised and refurbished the school dining room which is now a welcoming and inclusive environment.

To support the catering team in their endeavours the School employs a professional catering consultancy. They advise on the compilation of nutritious and balanced menus, on health, hygiene and food safety matters and on procurement. With this support we are able to source fresh wholesome ingredients. Proper preparation, traditional cooking techniques and presentation methods also ensure that high quality fresh food is produced in a hygienic and safe environment.

The Catering team’s Mission Statement and Healthy Eating Policy are available by clicking the link on the left. We welcome questions, comments and suggestions: please contact Roger Clitherow, the Domestic Bursar. We also invite you to drop in and see us whenever you can, so that you can see catering at work, view and sample the food on offer and talk with the catering team on duty. Should you wish to do so, please report to the Catering Office, off South Parade, and we will be happy to show you round.
