Catering
Harrison Catering and Harrow High Schools Catering Consortium
Our objective is to provide healthy homecooked foods, freshly prepared on site where possible and using fresh ingredients with minimal amounts of fried or processed foods. We also aim to maximise access to fruit and vegetables and offer a choice of cooked vegetables, salad bar, healthy snacks and fresh fruit daily.
Government Standards
Our new menus for 2009 continue to meet the much publicised Government standards. We recognise the food our students eat is critically important to their health and we are strongly committed to adopting healthier catering practices to encourage healthy and balanced eating by providing and promoting healthier choices.
We also recognise that eating a varied diet is an important part of eating well and coupled with a strong marketing programme we try to ensure a balanced variety whilst maintaining value for money.
Local Choice
We recognise that one central menu cannot meet the tastes and requirements of every student as they differ in each individual environment. Therefore we always try to work towards a localised menu that represents each school's personal preference within an agreed framework.
Marketing and Promotions
Throughout the year we run a programme of events. These promotions are aimed at encouraging students to eat a nutritionally balanced meal by creating additional interest and enjoyment.
