ACS Catering – Creative Fresh Food

The grand opening of our new, state-of-the-art kitchen and food court in August 2005 was a great success. Feedback from staff and students alike has been positive an very encouraging.

Our catering team at ACS Egham operate in-house, meaning that we employ and train our own chefs. We take great pride in providing creative fresh food which is appealing to our multi cultural student base as well as being nutritionally sound. Here at ACS we work firmly to a fresh food policy which ensures that wherever possible fresh ingredients are used, making the most of seasonal produce. Menus run in four week cycles and are advertised in the school magazine 'Jaguar Tales' as well as the school offices.

All our menus are based on the Government's 'Balance of Good Health' in conjunction with the British Nutrition Foundation, and our Head Chef, Christian Hussenet, revises them three times a year.

The catering facility offers a wide range of choices from The Chef's Theatre offering a selection of hot main dishes and vegetarian options, a Deli Bar serving freshly made sandwiches, bagels, homemade soup and jacket potatoes, Chilled Salad Bar and a Dessert & Drinks Zone stocking a selection of yoghurts, fruit, bottled water, fruit juices and chilled milkshakes.

Payment for lunches is made simple by the introduction of a new computerized cashless system.
All Lower School students will be allocated a catering account which is activated when a cheque is sent into school. Each time a student takes a school lunch the set lunch cost is deducted from their account via a bar code system. The student does not need to carry a lunch card or token, their teacher simply ticks their name and the bar code relating to the name is scanned thereby debiting their account.

Middle & High School students will be issued with their own individual swipe card which is activated when a cheque is sent into school. When a student has made their lunch choice, they go to a till point where their card will be swiped to the value of their lunch. The card balance is shown on the display at the tills so students can keep a track of their balance

We very much look forward to opening our doors and welcoming everyone to our wonderful new facility.
