Vinehall’s excellent catering operation is managed by The Brookwood Partnership, under the leadership of a Chef Manager. All food is produced from the best ingredients, freshly cooked and served by a committed and well-supported catering team.

School children of today are discerning customers and very familiar with an enormous variety of cooking styles and "eating experiences." As a school caterer, the Brookwood Partnership recognises the importance of meeting their expectations, whilst providing a nutritionally balanced menu.

Over recent years many government reports and high profile celebrity chefs(!) have highlighted the importance of a healthy diet. It is increasingly clear that a balanced diet is especially important during childhood and teenage years. The importance of a balanced diet for growing children cannot be overstated. An adequate intake of food energy and nutrients, together with a reduction in fat and sugar intake, is the key to ensuring both current and future good health.

It is the policy of the Brookwood Partnership to offer a balanced and nutritious menu to all pupils, to provide information on the importance of good nutrition and to promote and encourage pupils to adopt a healthy diet. Special diets are particularly well catered for.
