We are very proud of our school kitchen here at Markeaton Primary School.  All our meals are cooked on site by our dedicated catering team using fresh, additive free, animal welfare assured produce. Where possible, produce will be seasonal, locally sourced and organic.  We can also cater for pupils who have specific allergies, are vegetarian/vegan, or follow a strict diet due to cultural/religious reasons.

• Cost of dinners for half term Mon 1st Nov - Wed 22nd Dec is £83.60
• School Dinners are £2.20 per day / £11 per week

School dinner money is due in advance, either weekly or half-termly. Preferred payment method is via our Parentmail PMX system (click the link to the right). 

If you would like to change from sandwiches to dinners, or vice versa, please email the school office and include details of any food allergies or other dietary requirements the kitchen will need to know about. Alternatively you can download and complete the form Change to Lunchtime Arrangements (it may also be useful to have a look at this form to see what sort of information you should include in an email). If we receive notification before Friday, any change in meal arrangements will take effect from the following Monday.

Our Menus

Ordinarily our menus are on a 3-week rota, however there are days where we have a themed menu in school. When there are themed menu days taking place during the next few months we'll list them below.
