Catering at More House School
We take pride in offering exceptional catering that blends new ideas with traditional touches, making each meal both exciting and nourishing. In partnership with Holroyd Howe, we promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage students to try new things by offering a wide range of daily options.
Students can choose between a hearty cooked meal or a selection of dishes from our vibrant salad bar at lunchtime, along with delicious hot and cold puddings, and special treats on regular taster-tables throughout the year. Our catering extends beyond lunch to offer tasty and nourishing breakfast and dinner options for our boarders, with exciting boarding barbecues and themed nights which add variety and excitement to mealtimes.
Our talented catering team also supports pupils in exploring new ingredients and trying dishes from different cultures by running cooking and baking workshops as part of our Flexi Friday programme, including the ever-popular sushi masterclasses!
We cater for parents occasionally too, including at parents’ evenings, open days, new parent events days, PTA meetings and other school events.

We are delighted to introduce Holroyd Howe who deliver our catering contract. Great food is at the very heart of Holroyd Howe’s business. Our inspiring chefs strive every day to wow our pupils with new ideas and interesting meals whilst maintaining the traditional touches.

Healthy Eating & Food Allergies
At Holroyd Howe we wholeheartedly encourage a healthy lifestyle within our schools. We adhere to the principle of ‘getting the balance right’, which simply means having enough fruit and vegetables, protein, fibre and starchy foods whilst avoiding too much fat, sugar and salt. Our ultimate goal is to help pupils of all ages enjoy balanced meals containing good sources of protein and starch, accompanied by lots of vegetables, salad and fruit. If your child has an allergy or food intolerance please do let us know, we are experienced in catering for many different diets and our trained teams will provide them with an alternative meal, ensuring their dietary needs are met.
Fresh Local Seasonal Produce Every Day
We approach food with a simple, no fuss attitude. We use the best British ingredients, nothing processed, nothing added, just honest great food every day. We have established partnerships with a series of farmers, producers and artisan food suppliers in the local area.
We work closely with these groups who help us ensure that we can meet our commitment to sourcing the finest British produce.
The use of quality ingredients is at the heart of our food philosophy. By using local suppliers, our Chefs have the best available produce to create dishes that are seasonal and delicious.
