Food, glorious food!

Our brand new caterers, Palmer & Howells are proving a huge hit here at Berkhampstead School and Day Nursery. With an emphasis on fresh, healthy and nutritious meals, all food is prepared daily on-site, and sourced from local suppliers. Specialists in catering for independent schools, Palmer & Howells are committed to promoting healthy eating for our children - they work hard to increase pupils’ vegetable intake and reduce sugar across the menu. The meals have certainly been imaginative and interesting so far. Already the children have enjoyed macaroni cheese with crispy bacon, chunky beef ragout and roasted butcher’s sausages and onion gravy. All meals are - of course - served with a choice of vegetables, and a vegetarian or salad option and fruit are always available as an alternative to the main course and pudding. Delicious chocolate brownies and healthy fresh fruit have been served as mid-morning snacks for the Pre-Prep children, and Supper for children who attend super late club have included baked ham and cheese bagels served with crudities.
