Breakfast and Lunch at Archbishop Blanch

The catering offer for pupils at Archbishop Blanch has always had a focus given to ensuring that pupils are offered food that they will enjoy and that will offer value for money. Meeting the School Food Plan’s “Food Standards” and cooking with fresh ingredients purchased from local suppliers is another area of priority. We have recently introduced a new winter menu which has proved to be a great success with both pupils and staff. We have brought modern street food culture into school, offering exciting, fresh & healthy ingredients every lunchtime. Beef & Broccoli Noodle Pot, Chilli Nachos, Pasta Pot Bolognese, Southern Fried Chicken Wrap, Macaroni Cheese with Focaccia, Fish Finger Wrap, Tikka Tub & Rice…. the list goes on and is ever changing and always interesting.

Cashless Payment

Payment for food and drink bought in school is made using a cashless system. This is a fast, easy payments system which ensures that pupils spend a minimum amount of time at the counter. Credit is loaded onto a pupil’s account through the School Gateway and then used at the counter to make a purchase; this also lessens the pressure for pupils loading cash onto their accounts during the school day. Parents are able to control spending and view purchases and balances online.

See separate information regarding School Gateway Access.

Fresh Meat

All the fresh meat used in school comes from a reputable local butcher called Hogans. They are based in Knowsley and have supplied to schools & local authorities since 1990.

Fruit & Vegetables

Fruit & vegetables are supplied by Foreshaws of Ormskirk. 50 years of growing preparing and supplying ensures that the best local and market produce is supplied.
