At Ashley Manor, we believe that a healthy, delicious meal is an essential part of every child’s school day. All of our catering is lovingly prepared on-site by our dedicated team of kitchen staff, led by our talented Chef Manager, Alan Smith. With years of culinary experience and a passion for fresh, wholesome food, Alan and his team ensure that every meal served is both nutritious and enjoyable.
Our purpose-built dining area, known as The Seedling, provides a welcoming space where children can relax and enjoy their meals together in a friendly, social atmosphere. Designed specifically for children, The Seedling encourages good eating habits and a positive dining experience.
Every school lunch is included within the cost of school fees, ensuring families can be confident their children are receiving a well-balanced, high-quality meal each day without any additional charges. In addition to a nutritious lunch, we also provide a freshly prepared tea-time meal for children who stay on for our after-school clubs. The cost of tea is included as part of the after-school club charge, offering both convenience and value for families while ensuring children enjoy a wholesome meal before going home at the end of the day.
Our menus are carefully planned to include a variety of dishes, incorporating fresh, seasonal produce and catering for a wide range of tastes and dietary needs.
We are proud to uphold the highest standards of food safety and hygiene. Ashley Manor has been awarded a 5-Star Food Hygiene Rating, most recently achieved in September 2025, reflecting our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our catering service.
At Ashley Manor, mealtimes are about more than just food – they’re a chance for the children to refuel, connect, and share a meal together.
