Healthy Food Choices

Healthy food for healthy minds

The Pegasus restaurant is a much-loved social hub for everyone at Long Close. Here, we all meet to enjoy delicious fresh food prepared in the school’s own kitchen.

Freshly prepared food, using locally sourced ingredients

Our lunches are provided by the staff of family catering firm Thomas Franks Ltd. The ingredients are locally sourced, seasonal, healthy and nutritionally balanced, and every day’s menu includes a vegetarian option.

The Thomas Franks staff are very much part of the school’s community. They are always around to offer help and advice about healthy eating and to help our pupils to develop a life-long positive relationship with food. It’s a message that we deliver in the classroom too.

Prioritising your child's safety

The team have all undergone extensive training and during their Allergen Audit, were able to demonstrate outstanding technical and professional ability when managing allergens safely across the business.

Ensuring our children enjoy the best and safest food, is always at the forefront of our minds and something we are so passionate about at Long Close. If you child has any specific dietary requirements, we will be happy to meet them – although we do ask for an explanatory note from your hospital or doctor so that we are fully aware of the instructions that we must follow.
