Page | 14 8 Catering / Restaurant Earlier this year, Cucina became RGS’s appointed caterers to provide students, teachers, and staff with an exciting catering experience. Executive Chef, Matt Edmonds, and his catering team serve menus based on healthy ingredients, variety and lots of interesting new things to try. All dishes are prepared every day using quality, fresh and seasonal ingredients that are responsibly sourced. Cucina want students to understand the importance of eating the right foods and to help them with their food and nutrition journey. Some of the dishes/items on offer are: • A selection of 'grab and go' items including baguettes, paninis, burritos and salads. • A variety of healthy, tasty main meals prepared from carefully selected ingredients. The menu will follow a similar weekly pattern your son knows what to expect; for example, a roast is served every Wednesday and fish and chips on a Friday. • There is a ‘V’ range with lo ts of vegetarian and vegan choices to choose from including the V burger, falafel & hummus market wrap and vegan home bakes. • A salad bar with homemade healthy salads, all pre-boxed and ready to be collected. • Theme days including Chinese New Year, American Drive-Thru, BBQ Beach Party, Harry Potter and Love British Food Fortnight. We want to ensure that all students have access to a healthy nutritious meal and, with this in mind, we ask anyone with a Free School Meal allowance to select any 2 items including a hot main meal, pizza, salad box, panini or other nutritious snack plus either a hot pudding, fruit pot or freshly-made cake. If your son prefers, he can also choose to switch the pudding for a drink. Meal deals will also be available and special offers (see local boards for information). The most popular meal deal is the Blue Dot meal deal for £2.40. Students can choose any 4 items (usually 70p each) displaying a blue dot sticker. Items include selected rolls, sandwiches, drinks, cakes and tray bakes, fruit bags, and more! The Blue Dot meal deal is also available to students who have an FSM allowance. Restaurant opening hours are: First and second break. Boys may use the
