CULINERA – Our School Restaurant
Culinera are an independently owned and operated catering company, established with the aim of bringing about a new era in food.
You can find out more about Culinera on our website https://www.myculinera.co.uk/hatchride
All of Culinera’s meals are freshly prepared within the school kitchen. Menus are on a three-week rotation and are changed termly to suit the season.
We are using ParentPay as our meal ordering system. It is important to know that we will be operating a policy where all meals need to be ordered online on ParentPay before 8am each day. Any child who has not ordered but requires a meal after this time will be given a cheese sandwich option.
The price for a lunch is £2.95 per day. If you are in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 a school lunch is free.
Other Information from Culinera:
– When you select and ‘pay’ for your meals, the money you have ‘paid’ will sit as a balance on your Childs account. The balance will only be deducted when the child takes a meal on a given day at lunch time.
– You must make a payment/ checkout within two hours of selecting a meal. This creates the balance and the above process. If you fail to checkout / enter a payment then the meal is cancelled.
– If your child is off school for any reason and you do not cancel the meal, it is still chargeable (because we have cooked it for you!). This is a parent/carer responsibility and must be actioned by 9am on the day your child is absent. Meals ordered but not taken are charged at the end of each month. This can create a “debt” which has to be paid next time you order.
