Introducing Aspens Catering – Your New School Meals Provider
 

We are excited to announce that, starting January 2025, Aspens Catering will be taking over the school meals service at George Stephenson High School. Aspens is a renowned provider that prides itself on offering delicious, healthy, and sustainable meals designed to meet the needs of secondary school students like you. Whether you're looking for a satisfying lunch or a quick snack to fuel your day, Aspens has something for everyone.
 

What Makes Aspens Stand Out?
 

• Tasty & Fresh Meals: Aspens is committed to serving food that not only tastes great but also provides the nutrients you need to stay energized throughout your busy school day. From freshly prepared hot lunches to quick grab-and-go options, their menu caters to a variety of tastes and appetites. Expect meals that are full of flavour, made with high-quality ingredients, and always fresh.
   

• A Wide Range of Options: Aspens understands that every student has different dietary preferences and requirements. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or have other dietary needs or allergies, Aspens ensures there are always plenty of meal options for you. You can enjoy a meal that fits your lifestyle without compromising on taste or nutrition.
   

• Healthy, Nutritious Choices: Eating well is essential to staying focused and doing your best in class. Aspens is committed to providing balanced, nutritious meals that support your physical and mental well-being. Their menu features dishes that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and energy-boosting nutrients, so you can stay sharp throughout the day.
   

• Sustainability Matters: Aspens places a strong emphasis on sustainability. They use locally sourced, seasonal ingredients to create meals that are not only fresh and delicious but also better for the environment. They are dedicated to reducing food waste, supporting ethical farming practices, and ensuring their operations have a positive impact on the planet.
   

• Exciting New Menu Choices: Starting in January, you will notice a range of exciting new meal options available each day. Whether you prefer classic school favourites or want to try something new, there will be a variety of options to suit every taste. Aspens is constantly innovating their menus to keep meals exciting, so there’s always something to look forward to.
   

• Free Porridge: To start your day off right, Aspens is offering free porridge every morning! It's a perfect, healthy way to fuel up before your lessons and keep you energized through the morning.
   

What You Can Expect:
 

• A diverse menu that includes hot meals, sandwiches, salads, snacks, and more.

• Special themed days and seasonal dishes to keep things interesting.

• A focus on healthy ingredients like whole grains, fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and more.

• Meals that cater to a wide range of dietary requirements, ensuring every student can enjoy a nutritious meal.

• FREE porridge available every morning (charges will apply to toppings only).
