Lunches at Hampton Court House are freshly prepared on site every day in partnership with Accent Catering, who put fresh produce and wholesome, balanced menus first. Our aim is simple: healthy school meals that children genuinely look forward to. You’ll find a sample lunch menu below, and current families can view this term’s menus further down the page.
What food does Hampton Court House serve?
Hampton Court House serves freshly prepared, home-style lunches cooked on site by Accent Catering, using seasonal ingredients and locally sourced produce wherever possible. All our meat is Red Tractor assured, and our fish comes from sustainable sources.
Each day there is a hot main course with a vegetarian option, plus sides and a salad bar. Alongside these everyday choices, the menu features popular dishes such as handmade pizzas, mild curries and that homestyle favourite, macaroni cheese.

Healthy Eating and Nutrition at School
We believe healthy eating in schools starts with good, fresh food cooked well. Our menus are planned with Accent Catering to give children a balanced mix across the week, in line with the principles of the NHS Eatwell Guide:
- Vegetables and fruit: seasonal vegetables, salads and fruit through the week
- Protein: a mix of meat, fish and vegetarian proteins such as pulses and beans
- Starchy carbohydrates: filling, energy-giving foods such as pasta, rice and potatoes
Nutritious school meals give children the energy to concentrate in lessons and enjoy the rest of their day. Sitting down to lunch together is also part of school life, a time to talk, slow down and try something new. Food and nutrition in schools matter to families, and we’re always happy to talk about what your child is eating.
Food Allergies and Special Dietary Requirements
Allergy safety is taken very seriously. Accent Catering is a partner of the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, and its allergen procedures are rigorous and transparent. Every menu is allergen-checked and clearly labelled, and catering staff are trained every term.
If your child has an allergy or special diet:
- Tell us early. Let the school know about any medical dietary needs when your child joins, or as soon as a new diagnosis is made.
- Ask for allergen information. Contact our catering team for the full allergen details of any menu.
Please note: Meals are prepared in a kitchen that handles a wide range of ingredients, including common allergens. We will always discuss your child’s needs carefully, but we cannot guarantee that any dish is completely free from allergens, or that every dietary requirement can be met.
