Relish School Food
Relish School Foods have been providing food to XP since June 2025, bringing with it a strong commitment to providing healthy, fresh and homemade meals for the entire school community. Their approach is built on the belief that good food plays an important role in supporting students’ wellbeing, concentration and overall school experience which XP agrees with! By focusing on nutritious ingredients and carefully prepared meals, they aim to create food that is not only good for students but also something they genuinely look forward to each day.
Relish and the school work closely with both students and staff to understand their preferences, dietary needs and daily routines. Through open communication and regular feedback, Relish ensure that the menus remain relevant, balanced and appealing. This collaborative approach allows Relish to adapt their offering to suit the school environment while maintaining high standards of nutrition and taste.
At Relish School Foods, quality and value are at the heart of everything they do. Their meals are freshly prepared using wholesome ingredients, with an emphasis on flavour, variety and consistency. They strive to provide a service that is reliable, welcoming and accessible to everyone within the school.
Ultimately, Relish and our goal is to make great food an easy and enjoyable part of everyday school life. By creating meals that are nutritious, satisfying and thoughtfully prepared, we hope to support a positive food culture within the school—one where students and staff alike can enjoy good food as part of their daily routine.
The menu options from the kitchen are on a 3-week rota and include a variety of hot and cold options.
Your child will be able to make their choice on the morning of their lunch during Crew or they can pre-order from home through the online portal.
