Kings’ Café

The Kings Café is a lovely dining space open daily from 8.00am to 3.30pm for students and staff to purchase healthy and delicious food and drink served by our Catering Team led by our Catering Manager Colette Brimble.

The Team ensures that all meals and snacks meet the Government’s nutrition regulations for food served in schools, and all ingredients and allergens are stated clearly. (See below for more information).

Apsens offer a ‘meal deal’ option, which is highly used by both staff and students. This is £3.00, and includes, a main meal and pudding. The Just Sandwich deal at £3.00, which includes, a Just Sandwich and piece of homemade cake.

Allergen Information
Every student has different dietary requirements, and may have allergies towards certain food ingredients. All the students’ dietary requirements will be flagged on their biometric or card system, to ensure food is checked when making a purchase at the till. We also ask the student to be diligent, and not hesitate to ask a member of our Catering Team if they are wary about an allergen in any of our food. We do expect our students to flag up their own dietary requirements to our catering staff when necessary. Parents/carers are asked to also keep the school informed of any updates on a student’s dietary requirements throughout their time in The Kings of Wessex Academy.

For any concerns regarding allergen advice, please contact Mrs Colette Brimble at cbrimble@kowessex.co.uk and these will be recorded and dealt with.
