Our Dietitian’s Choice
Our Quorn Vegetarian Fillets are a delicious plant-based option, providing a great source of protein and fibre while being naturally low in saturated fat. Packed with flavour and nourishment, they offer a satisfying meat-free choice that supports a balanced and healthy diet.
Served with a selection of freshly prepared seasonal vegetables, this wholesome meal delivers valuable vitamins, minerals and fibre to help support growing bodies and healthy lifestyles. Pupils can also enjoy both fluffy boiled potatoes and our ever-popular roast potatoes, which are dry roasted in the oven with no added fat, giving all the crispy goodness of a traditional roast with a healthier twist.
Combining plant-based protein, colourful vegetables and energy-providing carbohydrates, this nutritious meal helps keep pupils fuelled and focused throughout the afternoon.
A hearty, balanced and flavour-packed vegetarian favourite that proves nutritious eating can be both satisfying and delicious.
Sustainable School Meals
Lower Carbon Impact Choice
All our menu options have had their carbon footprints assessed using methodology developed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh. Based on this analysis, the Quorn fillet meal has just under one-third of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the pork loin option available on the same day.
Foods based on plant-derived proteins generally have a lower environmental impact than those based on animal proteins. For pupils and families looking to make small, practical changes towards a more sustainable diet, the Quorn fillet meal offers a substantially lower-carbon alternative while still providing a nutritious, satisfying and enjoyable school lunch.
