Food Explorers

Every Food Explorer menu is made up of tasty dishes packed full of nutrients, with each meal offering Food Explorers at least 3 of their 5 a day.

Our theme days  offer lots of new flavours to explore and include competitions for pupils to win Food Explorer prizes.

Most of our schools will offer three choices of a Food Explorer hot main meal, including a vegetarian or vegan option, a selection of  pasta pots, jacket potatoes or a sandwich.

Every Food Explorer is offered vegetables, side salad, bread and drinking water with their main meal. For dessert, fresh fruit and yoghurt is offered as an alternative to the homemade dessert of the day.

Our menus are on a three-week cycle and change every six months; after the Easter holidays to our Spring/Summer menu and after October half-term to our Autumn/Winter menu.

If Music be The Food of Love

A full filled theme day, where the pupils explored romantic plays and scripts, learning about famous historic playwrights, such as William Shakespeare.  

During the day, the pupils trialled a new product and the teams created a range of delicious cookies and traybakes.  

Journey Around the World 2025

What a brilliant way to kick off 2025, our Journey Around the World theme day, took the children on a food journey discovering new tastes and meals. 

Its so encouraging to hear that the pupils who were unsure about aspects of the meal, tried and enjoyed it, especially the Mississippi Mud Pie, which sounds like such a treat! 

This has been described as the BEST THEME DAY EVER!
