Food at St Lawrence College

At St Lawrence College, we take pride in offering a diverse, nutritious, and delicious dining experience that caters to the varied tastes and dietary needs of our pupils. Our commitment to excellence in food service ensures that every student enjoys meals that are both satisfying and health-conscious. 

Inclusive and Diverse Menu

Recognising the cultural diversity of our student body, our daily menus feature a wide selection of hot and cold meat & vegetarian/vegan dishes, as well as options free from common allergens such as wheat, lactose & nuts. Our catering team is adept at accommodating specific dietary requirements, ensuring all pupils can dine with confidence and comfort.

Quality and Variety

Our dedicated catering staff work diligently to provide meals that are both high in quality and varied in selection. The College Food Committee, comprising a cross-section of pupils (both day and boarding, senior and junior) and key staff members, meets regularly to discuss and implement enhancements to our food offerings, ensuring that student feedback directly influences our menu planning. 

Dining Facilities

Meals are served in our traditional school Dining Hall, fostering a communal and inclusive atmosphere. Younger pupils (Nursery, Reception, and Year 1) enjoy their meals in the Annex adjacent to the main Dining Hall. Junior School pupils dine with their teachers during lunchtime and with boarding staff for breakfast and supper, promoting a family-style dining experience. 

Snacks and Hydration

To maintain energy levels throughout the day, Junior School pupils are provided with mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks and are encouraged to stay hydrated by regularly drinking from their water bottles. 

The Coffee Shop

Our modern Coffee Shop is a popular spot for both pupils and parents. Open during the school day, it offers a range of snacks and beverages. Senior School pupils can purchase snacks during break times, and boarders have access to the Coffee Shop during weekends and evenings, providing a relaxed environment for socialising and unwinding.
