In-house catering team

As an in-house catering team, we genuinely care about what goes into the food we create. Our chefs nurture direct relationships with local suppliers to ensure they have access to the best seasonal produce. Sustainability is at the heart of our thinking, and how we source and prepare our meals.

We take nutrition seriously and understand the impact a healthy diet has on the fundamental years of development. Meals are always freshly prepared from with nutritious ingredients offering a truly bespoke service.

We understand creativity must come first, and our chefs create their own vibrant menus made up of classic and innovative dishes as well as authentic international dishes. Theme nights are extremely popular with the boarding community.

We understand what mealtimes mean to pupils, and we want them to feel at home when they eat with us. Through feedback and communication, we listen to feedback of both the day pupils and the boarders to ensure that we are delivering on that experience.

We are committed to providing well-balanced meals

From planning, preparation, and cooking, we are committed to providing our students with well-balanced meals that give them the fuel and nutrients that they need to learn and grow. We strive for our pupils to have a healthy body and mind.

We understand how sport plays a role in shaping pupils physical, mental, and emotional behaviour. We work with a local dietician and nutritionist to ensure that we are providing pupils with the energy levels they need to perform, both academically and physically.

Our local suppliers include:

  • Pyne’s of Somerset
  • A. David & Co Limited
  • Longmans Dairy
  • Yeo Valley
