What type of meals do you serve in schools?

Our menus in primary schools comply with the Government's Nutritional Standards for school meals.

We offer a range of choice menus in primary schools from a set meal in the smaller schools to two choices of main course and dessert in the larger schools. Our current term's menus can be downloaded from the School Catering page.. These menus are provided in all schools catered for by North Yorkshire County Council Caterers.

All secondary schools operate a cafeteria system with a range of meals and snacks available. For details of the services on offer please contact your school.
