Our lunchtime catering is provided by Accent Catering Services
At the heart of everything we do is our love of great tasting, fresh and healthy food, prepared by teams who care. We know pupils consider fast food to be the biggest treat imaginable but we know that it does not make you feel good or live well.
That’s why we focus on every single aspect of our food to ensure our customers get the very freshest, natural fast food that is healthy, great tasting and nutritious. We use meat that is Red Tractor assured, fish from sustainable stocks only and UK sourced fruit and veg where possible.
Menus
Our food is freshly prepared, with a range of dishes designed to appeal to every child. We use simple names so pupils can easily recognise their meals, but every dish is made with the same passion and care, whether it’s a mild yet flavourful curry, a homemade pizza topped with our ‘secret’ tomato sauce, or Mac ‘n’ Cheese that’s just like home. We go to great lengths to ensure every dish and side is not only delicious but also nutritious, just like at home.

Please can we also urge ALL parents to make sure that you are ordering your child’s lunch in advance. You are able to book lunches for the whole term in advance if you wish, or up to 8:30am on the day. Teachers are currently spending a lot of teaching time each morning having to complete the meal register.
At Accent we never purchase or store tree nuts or peanuts in our kitchens and never include them as ingredients in our dishes. While some supplier products may carry a “may contain” nut warning, we minimise their use and work closely with our clients to exclude them entirely upon request. We follow strict food hygiene and food safety procedures to manage allergens and minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but as food is prepared in shared environments, we cannot guarantee meals are completely allergen-free.
Our Chef Manager and / or our Allergen Guru are always available to provide a nutritious tasty lunch and support children with allergies and intolerances.
None of the meat served at Knollmead is halal.
