About school meals
Lunches provided in primary schools include a hot two-course meal with the choice of main courses, vegetables, salads and desserts. There's also a vegetarian option and options for some special dietary requirements.
Secondary schools provide a cafeteria area for pupils to buy food with their own money. Prices and the choice of food offered can vary between schools.
Middle schools either have a traditional meal service like primary schools or a cafeteria style service similar to secondary schools.
For further details of lunchtime menus visit the Eats website, part of Eastern Facilities Management Solutions Ltd, which is wholly owned by Suffolk County Council.
