Dinner Menu & Booking Information

Our dinner menu operates on a 3-week rolling rota, consisting of Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3 menus. Each week offers four main meal options for students to choose from.

Meal selections can be made through your Arbor account under dinners, using the drop-down menu, where the available options for the relevant week will be displayed. Simply select your preferred meal choice before the booking deadline.

Please note:

We are currently unable to offer a halal meal option.
All desserts are dairy-free; however, they do contain egg and may not be suitable for those with an egg allergy or those following a vegan diet.
Due to the wide variety of meal choices available each week, we are unable to provide alternative meals, such as sausages, in place of the menu options offered.

If your child has a diagnosed food allergy, please complete the Caterlink allergy information form by clicking on the link https://thebridgeschool.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/51/2026/09/Online-Food-Allergen-Intolerance-Form-Factsheet.pdf. This ensures that Caterlink can safely support your child’s dietary requirements and provide accurate allergen information.

If you have any questions regarding menu choices or dietary requirements, please contact the school office for further information.

This is week 3 menu for w/c 14th September.
