School Meals

Healthy Eating

Within the dining room at Jack Hunt School, we provide food designed to help those who wish to enjoy a healthier diet. Our approach to healthy eating is straight forward and we aim for menu standards which far exceed the government's requirements. These requirements are achieved by various means:

  • Reduction of saturated fats.
  • Removal of salt in the cooking process.
  • Reduction of artificial flavouring and colourings.
  • Bake and grill where possible.
  • Promotion of 5 a day fruit and vegetables.
  • Promotion of information to employees, students and parents.

Cashless Catering

Jack Hunt School runs a cashless catering system. Each student is issued with a card when they start at Jack Hunt, showing their photograph and name. Our tills do not accept cash payments. Any money is loaded onto the account by the student via a cash loader. Cheques can also be brought into school and are credited to the students account the same day. We feel there are several advantages to this system, including the following:

  • >Students do not have to bring cash to school.
  • It speeds up the service at the tills.
  • Parents know that dinner money is only being spent on a school lunch.
  • Reports are available to parents/carers.

Note: Lost cashless catering cards must be replaced and are available from the school shop at a cost of £2 each.

Meal Choices

We offer five types of meal deal at lunchtime every day, at a cost of £2.15 each.  These include:

  • Dish Of The Day - A nutritionally balanced hot 2 course meal (vegetarian options available) and a bottle of mineral water.
  • Salad Box - Choice of salad boxes, dessert of the day or fresh fruit or yoghurt and a bottle of mineral water.
  • Sandwich Deal - Sandwich of your choice, dessert of the day or fresh fruit or yoghurt and a bottle of mineral water.
