We have an exciting lunchtime experience happening at Smeeth! We firmly believe that eating should be a social time, with a calm and beautiful environment in which to enjoy healthy delicious food, and a focus on lovely manners. We enjoy our lunch over two sittings, which gives us time to eat properly and more space to enjoy eating with our friends. From the very first day our youngest children join us, they choose a seat, set out their place settings and pour their own water. On our tables they will find pretty tablecloths, white china and glasses, with good quality cutlery to eat with. There are bread baskets for sharing, and a salad bar in the middle of the room from which the children can (and do!) help themselves to a wide variety of healthy and delicious salads and vegetables. Our lovely chef Melina goes out of her way to create tempting dishes and even allow taste tests when she has designed something new. There is an extensive variety of dishes for even the fussiest of eaters and our lunchtimes are an experience that the children really look forward to!

Nourish are our provider for school meals which are cooked on site here at Smeeth School. We ask that school dinners are booked and paid for in advance using Parent Pay.

Children in Year R, 1 and 2 receive free meals (Universal Free School Meals) and we kindly ask parents that they book in advance by using Parent Pay. This helps our chef to plan and order quantities in advance.

The cost for a school meal is currently £3.05 for Years 3 - 6 (unless the family is in receipt of Free School Meals).
