At St Peter’s we offer a wide range of healthy food – our menus are regularly reviewed to take advantage of healthy eating guidelines. We are fully compliant with the government legislation on healthy school meals, and as a result of our high standards, we have recently gained further official commendation – The Healthy Schools Award Status.

A biometric system is used by staff and pupils with funding for free school meals transferred electronically to qualifying pupils. School meals are popular and enjoyed by large numbers of pupils and staff.

To promote healthy eating, our canteen also provides free fruit to pupils on a daily basis each break time and is available from any of our tills.

In addition to the wide and varied selection available via our lunchtime menu, we also offer daily ‘Chefs Specials’. These specials offer our pupils the opportunity to educate and excite their taste buds with a diverse range of dishes, from escargot to Sea Bass.

The school’s horticultural project provides us with a fantastic source of the freshest possible seasonal ingredients. Cafe FUSION benefits from the many varieties of organic herbs that are grown and tended on school grounds by our pupils. We take pleasure in preparing and cooking the fresh ingredients that we have harvested ourselves so that the pupils and staff can enjoy eating them at the traditional time of year.

Cafe FUSION caters for all tastes. We offer vegetarian options, allergy-friendly food. Our curries are very popular as well as Italian food, traditional Irish dishes, and fish and chips on Fridays – to name but a few.

Our catering manager attends regular meetings with the school council which allows pupils to voice their opinions on the food and service, which provides us with valuable feedback.

If you ever want to find me at lunch just come down to Cafe FUSION!
There's plenty of choice and the meals are very healthy and tasty.
The only problem is that the pupils are always moaning about my large portions!

Cafe FUSION is excellent - you are able to order a salad or sandwich each day and collect it quickly - sending in a list and paying once a week or whenever it's convenient. This is a big advantage and saves you having to plan and prepare a lunch each day!
