Hot School Meals

Hot school meals are available for all pupils every school day.  

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal (Universal Infant Free School Meal UIFSM).  The cost of the full meal for Year 3 and upwards is £2.65 per day. 

Our hot school lunches are prepared and cooked fresh every day by a Lincolnshire company, The Farm Kitchen. They have a wonderful team that really cares about the food they serve and the dishes all taste amazing.

To order a hot meal for your child please go online to https://parents.thefarmkitchen.com/ and orders need to be placed by 3pm on a Tuesday for the following week. 

  • The recipes are all good-for-you family favourites, packed full of fresh, healthy ingredients from local producers that help support every child’s physical development and mental wellbeing.

  • Many of the vegetables come from local, Lincolnshire farmers and are grown just a few miles from their kitchens – freshly picked, in-season vegetables not only taste great, they’re packed full of nutrients too.

  • Their meat is only ever from British farmers, their sausages are made by their local butcher and their baker is just a few villages away. They also buy fish from a Grimsby fishmonger.

The Farm Kitchen is based on their family-run farm in the heart of Lincolnshire and aim to inspire children to make healthy, sustainable food choices that will make a real difference to them and the world around them, now and in the future.

If you need any help or assistance with the menus or ordering please do not hesitate to contact The Farm Kitchen:
