Catering and Free School Meals

Catering 

At Todmorden High School our catering services are provided in house, we also cater for some primary schools in the local area. In our school eating areas, including outside kiosk and custom diner area, all of our food is freshly prepared each day.

We know it’s not just the food on the plate that is important, but a real understanding of health and nutrition too. We’re committed to helping develop great eating habits in young people. All of our menus offer a carefully comprised mix of nutritional and tasty food, which is compliant to government legislation. We also take special care to ensure students, staff and visitors with dietary requirements are catered for. The introduction of ARCH dining has helped with promoting healthy eating habits with our students, and a more enjoyable eating experience overall.  Should you have any dietary requirements please contact c.dearden@todhigh.co.uk our Head Chef/Catering Manager who will be happy to discuss how we can accommodate.

We invite students to bring a packed lunch with them should they choose to do so, and there are plenty of comfortable outdoor and indoor seating areas for students to enjoy their break and refresh themselves for the afternoon ahead.

Our current prices are as follows:

Meal deal (main meal and dessert) £2.60
Main meal £2.00
Dessert £1.00
