Greeting Canford Students

Hey, fellow Canford students! Let’s talk about something we all have in common – food. We all know that the Catering Team here works hard to satisfy our appetites. They go beyond merely providing meals, striving to make them downright delicious.

Quality of Food

Firstly, it’s noteworthy that everything is made from scratch. They prepare bread, soups, and sumptuous main courses in the kitchen. Moreover, they use natural, ethically sourced ingredients. So, essentially, we’re consuming quality food, devoid of any questionable meats or vegetables.

The Menu

Now, let’s get into the real deal – the menu. It’s not your typical boring school food. No sir, here at Canford, they keep things interesting with a three-week rotation. That means we’re not stuck with the same old, same old. And the best part? They’ve got these theme lunches. I’m referring to decorations, literature, posters – the entire array.It‘s like a mini food party every week. Oh, and they throw in multicultural events too. It’s like a culinary world tour in the school cafeteria.

Facilities

But wait, there’s more. Ever heard of a street bar in school? We have one. A legit street bar where they serve up different goodies each week. It’s like having a food festival right on campus. And for those of us trying to be a bit healthier, there’s this massive salad bar that’s basically a paradise for salad lovers. Fresh fruit? Unlimited. They know how to keep us fueled up and ready to conquer whatever comes our way.

Care and Dietary Needs

What’s great is that it’s not just about providing food. They genuinely care about our well-being. All meals are prepared right here on campus, adhering to high quality standards. Moreover, the staff eats the same food as us, so they’re serving nothing they wouldn’t eat themselves. For those with dietary needs or preferences, they’ve got you covered. Clear signage is available to help navigate the food options, and if you require something specific, just communicate it to them. Their priority is to ensure everyone gets what they need.

Food Safety

Guess what? The catering staff takes allergies so seriously that they undertake annual external courses to stay updated. They regularly review their policies and procedures. They are committed to ensuring our food safety.

Feedback and Improvement

But the school doesn’t stop there. They understand that good food fosters a positive environment. So, they host a catering forum each term. In this forum, the Pupil Leader Food Committee presents our suggestions to the Catering Management Team. It’s our opportunity to act as food critics, and they genuinely listen to us. They take our feedback into consideration and make changes accordingly. It’s like having a say in what ends up on our plates.

Conclusion

So, bottom line – Canford is not just about classes and exams. It’s about the whole experience, and that includes what’s on our plates. They’re not just feeding us; they’re making sure we’re having a blast while doing it. Props to the Catering Team for keeping our taste buds happy and our stomachs full. Canford, you’re doing food right!🍔🥗🍰
