We are passionate about serving fresh, high quality and locally sourced ingredients in our meals.\u00a0 We have a team of experienced and creative chefs that keep our menus exciting and tasty for your child to enjoy.\u00a0<\/p><p>Many of the team at Aspens have school children themselves and as parents, we understand how important making the lunch decision is.\u00a0 You want to make sure that they eat at lunchtime, what they have is nutritionally balanced and that it fuels the rest of their learning day.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Menu cycle<\/strong><\/p><p>We operate a three-week menu cycle to work in line with the school terms.\u00a0 We change the menu in September, January and at Easter and we take the feedback from our customers to build our next cycle.\u00a0 Popular dishes remain but we do like to encourage new tastes and dishes and we work hard with the children to help them on their food journey.\u00a0<\/p><p>Our primary offer is fun and colourful and we use our Bubble and Squeak characters to communicate the daily choice. Our menu is varied and well planned to ensure the right balance of colour is present on the counters and we provide taster pots to encourage children to try something they are unsure of.\u00a0 How we display our food gives the younger students a more grown up dining experience.<\/p><p><strong>NEW pick and mix packed lunch<\/strong><\/p><p>We understand that some parents may wish to give their child a hot meal for their evening meal and therefore choose to give their child a sandwich for their lunch.\u00a0 We have also been asked by a number of children to offer a sandwich as an option as an alternative to the salad bar. We are therefore launching our Pick and Mix Packed Lunch after the half term break.<\/p><p>It is also promoted using our Bubble and Squeak characters and operates as a pick and mix menu.\u00a0 Pupils choose a sandwich filling (tuna, cheese or ham), some veggie bites, a home bake and a piece of fruit. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>This is available every day so if there is something on the menu that your child does not like, let them know they can choose one of our packed lunches instead.<\/p><p><strong>Salad and yoghurt bar<\/strong><\/p><p>Our salad trolley has a wide range of salad options for them to choose and we encourage them to try some with their meal.<\/p><p>We have also recently launched a daily yoghurt bar using homemade yoghurt.\u00a0 We have a range of toppings for the children to add to make it fun for them.\u00a0 They can add chopped fruit, fruit coulis, raisins, pieces of flapjack or home bakes.\u00a0 This has been well received by the students.<\/p><p><strong>Free school meals<\/strong><\/p><p>All children that are in reception, year 1 and year 2 are entitled to receive\u00a0<strong>UNIVERSAL INFANT\u00a0FREE SCHOOL MEALS!<\/strong>\u00a0We think it\u2019s a fantastic idea so please make sure you support this initiative.<\/p><p>Not only will you be saving money, but you will also be giving your child a nutritionally balanced meal to fuel their bodies for the rest of their learning day.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><h3>FREE SCHOOL MEALS<\/h3><p>Please open the following link for information on Pupil Premium, Free School Meals and Universal Infant Free School
