Dear Parents & Guardians,

We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves; we’re The Pantry, the new School Meals provider for Learning Academies Trust, and we’re delighted to be welcoming you to our catering service in September!

The Pantry are an independently-owned, family-run business, starting out as a Sandwich Shop on Hayes High Street in 2006. We now proudly partner with over 180 Schools across the length and breadth of England, and it’s thanks to our core values that we ensure are embedded in every one of our services. 

We ensure every menu that we provide is nutritionally-balanced, filling and appetising, and we’ll work with yourselves, your School and the kitchen team to deliver dishes that reflect what the children really want to eat. All The Pantry’s ingredients come from the very best, traceable sources, and your children will be eating fresh, sustainable, and high-quality meals each and every day.

For children in Nursery the price of a complete Lunchtime Meal will be £3.00.

All children in EYFS and Key Stage 1 (Reception, Year 1, and Year 2) are entitled to a free lunch under the Universal Infant Free School Meal Programme.

For Children in Key Stage 2 (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6) who do not claim Free School Meals, the price of a complete lunchtime meal will be £3.00.We’ll be reaching out to you in the coming weeks with information on how you’ll be able to order meals through The Pantry ahead of the new School Year, but if you have any questions or queries, we’d love to hear from you – just contact our Customer Service Team Monday to Friday 7:00am to 4:30pm on 020 8813 7040, or email office@thepantrycatering.co.uk.

Kind Regards,

The Pantry
