Lunches

We are delighted to be working alongside Thomas Franks who share our passion for creating a joyful and nourishing dining experience. For over 20 years, this family-run company has led the way in independent school catering, renowned for serving fresh, locally sourced, and nutritious meals. Led by Ruth and her team, Thomas Franks works closely with us to provide a warm, welcoming dining environment where each meal is a moment to savour.

Our talented chefs design balanced menus that cater to a wide range of tastes and dietary requirements, ensuring there’s something for everyone. But the commitment goes beyond the food itself, together we are building a positive dining culture that promotes healthy eating and sustainability.

Thomas Franks’ in-house Nutrition team, led by award-winning nutritionist Christine Bailey, offers evidence-based guidance and engaging educational sessions, helping children understand the value of good nutrition in a fun and interactive way. Through themed days, workshops, and food education programmes, children are encouraged to explore diverse global flavours, developing both confidence and independence in the kitchen. Thomas Franks’ dedicated staff uphold the highest standards of food safety, hygiene, and allergy awareness, ensuring the well-being of each and every pupil.

 

We are proud to have Thomas Franks as part of our Chandlings community, where they contribute to a dining experience that nourishes both body and mind.
