Multicultural menus for a global community
The Catering Department at ACS is operated in-house, enabling us
to employ and train all our own chefs. We take great pride in our
autonomy as it allows us to produce the type of creative, fresh and
nutritious food that appeals to our multicultural community.
Here at ACS we source only fresh ingredients from nominated and
approved suppliers. Most of our daily deliveries of vegetables,
fruit, dairy and meat come from local producers, meaning we can
literally trace each meal from 'farm to fork'. We keep our
menus seasonal, change them regularly, and embrace the School
Food's Trust nutritional guidelines. Your ideas and recipe
suggestions are always welcome. We hope you take full advantage of
our fantastic catering facilities, and look forward to serving you
soon.
Lower School Lunches
At ACS we actively encourage Lower School students to eat a
nutritionally balanced meal. Their choice is not limited to the
main hot meal of the day, they can also choose from our daily
vegetarian dishes, a jacket potato or maybe a filled roll. The set
menu for Lower School costs £2.85 per day and includes a choice of
fresh cut fruit, salad bar, cheese & crackers, chilled milk,
yoghurt or dessert.
Middle & High School Lunches
Middle & High School students can choose from our
extensive Food Court serving a hot main meal of the day (see menus
below), 'Grab & Go' items such as Jacket Potato, Pasta Bar,
Panini, Homemade Soup, salad or a fruit pot, bagel, baguette,
sandwich, smoothie, juice or dessert.
Students have the option to pay for their food by either using
biometric thumb print recognition or using a Upay system swipe
card, this allows the security of a cashless system whilst also
being user friendly and helping speed up the queues.
