School - catering

In North Yorkshire we believe that for the very best start in life children and young people need good nutrition.

In North Yorkshire school meals are only made from

  • fresh meat and poultry sourced from the Yorkshire region
  • fruit and vegetables, sourced regionally where possible using local suppliers
  • products free from additives associated with health problems in young children
  • fats free from hydrogenated oils
  • menus which are nutritionally analysed to provide nutritional balance
  • ingredients, produced freshly every day in a school kitchen

Primary school lunches cost £2.10 a day for two courses (£10.50 a week) and:

  • have a three menu cycle allowing children to become familiar with the food served;
  • are changed every term to reflect the seasons; and 
  • are written in consultation with pupils and cooks.

In our secondary schools, there is a wide choice of lunches - 

  • you can go round the world, eat Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Italian, Spanish;
  • have a meal deal with an apple, drink and a cheese sandwich; or
  • have a freshly made two-course lunch every day.
