Healthy bodies, healthy minds
We’re proud to partner with Lodestone House to provide nourishing, fresh meals that support every child’s well-being and learning. With over 50 years of experience, Lodestone House brings a deep-rooted commitment to helping every child achieve their potential through nourishment.
Their ethos is simple: garden to kitchen to classroom. They source fresh, whole ingredients with integrity and prepare them with skill and attention to detail. Education is part of every plate, helping pupils understand where food comes from and why it matters, through engaging activities from the dining hall to the classroom.
Your child’s well-being is always at the heart of what they do. That means thoughtful menus, wholesome food, and a kind, dependable team every day.

Together, we aim to embed the importance of eating healthily from a young age.
Part of this journey includes encouraging our students to care for the environment through sustainable food sources. As such, we support British farmers, and we buy locally sourced eggs and milk.
We offer a wide range of dishes to choose from:
A selection of hot meals, with plenty of vegetarian options
A full salad bar, with bread rolls or baguettes
A selection of hot and cold desserts
Soup or jacket potatoes are available every day
Delicious meals
We support children in developing their culinary curiosity
From themed events such as Mexican Day and Chinese New Year in which our pupils are given the opportunity to try new foods from around the world, through to a delicious Christmas dinner and creative Halloween party nibbles.
This is further enhanced by our ‘Eat Vibrantly’ initiative in which one high-nutrient fruit or vegetable (such as beetroot and avocado) is introduced to the pupils each month. By the end of the month, we endeavour to make sure that the students have added something new and nutritious to their diet
Food allergies
There is a double checking system in place for Nursery and Prep School pupils with special diets
This system is to ensure they are catered for safely. We ask our Senior School pupils with special diets to liaise directly with Chartwells staff during lunchtime, to ensure their needs are met.
Pupils with food allergies from Nursery through to Senior School are catered for. Relevant information will need to be provided from the pupil's medical consult, general practitioner or registered dietitian; to ensure that Chartwells can safely meet the needs of the pupil.
More than just school meals
We also use assemblies, workshops and lesson plans to help communicate the importance of healthy eating, and support its vital connection with learning, in an informative, entertaining and engaging way.
