Nutrition
“the food we ate was first class, and did we mention the cake!”
the good schools guide
At Harrogate Ladies’ College, nutrition is at the heart of our commitment to pupil wellbeing. Our award-winning catering team, made up of skilled chefs and sous chefs, prepares fresh, delicious meals daily using high-quality, seasonal ingredients. With 90% of our produce sourced locally and a strong emphasis on organic and free-range options, we ensure every meal is both nutritious and flavourful.
A COMPREHENSIVE DINING EXPERIENCE
We provide our pupils with a full range of meal options throughout the day, including breakfast, lunch and supper, as well as mid-morning and afternoon snacks. As a day pupil in a boarding school, you benefit from the same high-quality meals as our boarders, ensuring a well-rounded and enjoyable dining experience.
DIVERSE AND NUTRITIOUS MENU
Our chefs draw inspiration from global cuisines to create an exciting and varied menu. Every meal offers multiple choices and a salad bar is always available at lunch and supper. Fresh, seasonal fruit is provided daily, and our homemade organic bread is a favourite among pupils and parents alike.
CATERING FOR ALL DIETARY NEEDS
We cater to a wide range of dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, halal, nut-free, and gluten-free options. Our Catering Team works closely with the pupils and their families to accommodate individual needs, ensuring every pupil enjoys safe and delicious meals tailored to their dietary preferences.
