The catering team at King’s believes passionately that feeding young bodies is every bit as important as feeding young minds.

Our team of chefs are dedicated to sourcing the finest ingredients with as much local provenance as is practical. These ingredients are then crafted into dishes that are nutritionally balanced, taste good and presented to the pupils with great care.

We are fully committed to meeting individual pupils specific dietary requirements and are proud of our ability to do this. Regular communication with the pupils at point of service and through committee meetings has enabled us to respond appropriately to our ever more discerning clientele.

Along with our desire for food excellence we also ensure food safety, as reflected in our five star hygiene status. But of course, we all know that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so please take a moment to come and see all that is going on in the Catering Department at King’s and do take a look at the sample menus below.
