At St James’ we operate a cashless catering system at the point of till service. This reduces queueing times as well as allowing parents to see a record of the food their child is eating.
There are four service points in the main canteen, offering a range of traditional plated meals and hot grab-and-go options including pizzas, paninis jacket potatoes and pasta dishes. A selection of deli sandwiches and salads are also available. Additionally, pupils are welcome to eat food brought from home throughout the dining areas.
Breakfast Service is available 7:45-8:45am options include toast, bagels, fresh fruit, yogurt, tea and hot chocolate.
Break time is at 11am where there is an extensive choice of toasted and baked items and fresh fruit available.
The menus within the kitchen change regularly to reflect the seasons, with regular theme days offered in addition to the core menu.
If you have any questions, including concerning allergies or dietary requirements, please contact our Catering Manager, Mrs Booth, in the first instance m.booth@stjamescheadle.co.uk. Tel: 0161 482 6093.
