Yarrells School Menu
Home-cooked, nutritious, and always delicious.
At Yarrells, we take the greatest care to ensure that every meal is enticing, nutritious, and filling. Whether it's Breakfast Club, lunch, or after-school tea, food at Yarrells is something to look forward to.
Weekly Lunch Menu - w/c 4 May 2026
Bread, butter, jacket potatoes, salad selection and fruit are always available. Water is served with every meal. Please note: our menu is subject to change.
Snacks & Break Times
All food for break times and snack times is provided by the school. Children choose from a wide selection of fresh fruit each day, along with plain biscuits in the morning. In the Greenwood, sandwiches are offered in the afternoon. Water and milk are available throughout the day, and all dietary requirements are fully catered for.
Lunch
Children in Early Years have their lunch prepared and plated to ensure appropriate care when eating. We cater fully for all dietary requirements and religious observations. As children move into Reception, they begin making more free choices, adding accompaniments such as cucumber, carrot, pasta sauces, and yoghurt toppings.
Children in Years 1 to 6 choose from a buffet bar of options each day. A minimum of two hot options are always available, Monday is meat-free, and on all other days there is both a meat and a vegetarian option. Baked potatoes with a variety of toppings, salad, ham, tuna, and cheese are offered every day. Fruit and yoghurt are available daily, with delicious puddings two or three times a week.
We love to celebrate international days through our cuisine, and we always mark children's birthdays too.
The pupil Health and Safety Committee meets twice a term to discuss the quality and nutritional value of the food, with suggestions from class reps feeding directly into conversations with the catering team. We are child-centric in our approach to food, while remaining committed to healthy, nutritious, and taste-expanding options for every child.
After-School Tea
Children staying for a club or to complete homework are offered tea after school. Depending on the season, this ranges from hot muffins and crumpets to sandwiches and sorbet, a lovely end to the day.
Breakfast Club
Children at Breakfast Club are fuelled up and ready for the day ahead. A warm, friendly start from 7:30am, giving every child the energy they need to make the most of everything Yarrells has to offer.
Every Dietary Need Catered For
Whether your child has allergies, dietary requirements, or religious observances, our kitchen team takes every care to ensure they are fully provided for. If you have any specific concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
