Fresh, healthy, and nutritious: Our high-quality catering.
At Twickenham Prep School, we don’t just serve food — we foster a love of healthy, balanced meals that support our pupils in every way.
We believe in the power of fresh, nourishing food to fuel our pupils’ growth and learning. That’s why we operate a Fresh Food Policy, placing a strong emphasis on sourcing fresh, locally-produced ingredients. For instance, our meat products are sourced from a trusted local butcher, ensuring we support nearby businesses whilst providing the best quality for our pupils.
Our seasonal menus follow a three-week rotation to keep mealtimes interesting, while ensuring a well-balanced diet. Typically, there will be a choice of three main dishes, available each day for the children to choose from or try a little of everything. We’re proud to maintain the highest Food Hygiene Rating (5/5) from the Food Standards Agency.
Over 98% of our pupils enjoy a school lunch.
However, we understand that some children may prefer a packed lunch from home. We provide full supervision during lunch hours for both options. To maintain the safety of all our pupils, we are a nut-free school and nut-based products are not permitted on-site. We have robust allergy protocols and are able to cater for any food allergy and dietary requirement.
Our staff
We take great pride in directly employing our chefs and catering staff, rather than relying on contract caterers. This approach gives us the greatest control over the quality of ingredients, the variety of meals we offer, and the overall dining experience for our pupils.
By working with a team who are part of our school community, we ensure that the food served reflects our values and commitment to excellence in every detail.
This hands-on approach allows us to be more flexible, creative, and responsive to the needs of our pupils, ensuring they always receive the most delicious meals.
