School Catering

We are thrilled at Wildern to be able to cater in-house for our students.  Our chef, Dan, and his team work tirelessly to provide locally sourced, sustainable products at competitive prices.  

Food is served at breakfast, break and lunchtimes across the school in our main dining hall, kiosks and diner.  A variety of hot and cold quality food is on offer from grilled steaks, roast dinners, curries, and a salad bar to wraps and paninis and baguettes.  

At times throughout the year there are themed days/weeks linked to the curriculum being taught such as Spanish day, Australian day, American West week to healthy food to support a healthy diet and 'brain food' to support revision.  

There are regular Meal deal Offers available like below for £2.30 (Water, selected Snacks and Meals) and see our price list here.

Catering is cashless at Wildern and payment is made using biometric finger registration.  Parental permission is given for this when students start at Wildern.  Money can be added to the account online by logging on to www.parentpay.com, by cheque payable to Wildern School (minimum £10) taken to the School Kitchen or by using the cash top up machine in the dining hall.  

When logged in to ParentPay parents are able to see what their children are purchasing per day ay school.
