School Meals - Cucina Restaurant

At de Stafford School we offer an all-day service in our canteen: early morning breakfast, morning break service, lunch, and after school provision. We even offer a take-home service so that you can try our food in your own kitchens! 

The Canteen is open from 8.00am to 4.00pm daily. 

The canteen is run by Cucina.  Cucina – pronounced “Cuchina” (the Italian word for kitchen or a place where food is prepared) is a catering company specialising in providing fresh, healthy food in school. We only ever serve food that we would be happy to be served ourselves, which is why we developed our food promises!

Everything is cooked fresh and you can see dishes being freshly prepared, such as home-made pizza served fresh from our pizza oven, fresh bread made on the premises daily and a wide variety of main meals, salads, sandwiches, fruit pots and desserts, as well as mouth-watering homemade muesli bars, muffins and cakes.

All our food is prepared in an environment where nuts and other food allergens are present, so if you have special dietary requirements on a daily basis, please speak to our Chef who will be happy to let you know what you are able to eat and if nothing on the menu is suitable, he will find you an alternative!

Throughout the year we run a variety of Theme Days.  This year we have had themes on Wimbledon, World Cup, Easter, Halloween, Willy Wonka and Cowboys and Indians, to name a few. During our Theme Days we decorate the canteen, Cucina staff dress up, and we have specialist menus based around the theme.
