All food is prepared fresh daily to the highest quality and standards by onsite chefs. Grades 11-12 students, faculty/staff and parents can also purchase snacks and drinks throughout the day at the café adjacent to the cafeteria.

School Lunch Plan FAQs

Typically the lunch plan consists of a buffet style with a selection of western, asian and vegetarian dishes, noodle soup, fresh salad and fruit bar.

Epicure can cater for most common allergies by the wide range of choice available on the daily menu. However, more complex allergies will be dealt with on a case by case basis upon receipt of supporting documentation by a qualified medical practitioner (i.e. note from child’s doctor). Parents are advised to study the menu prior to enrollment to ensure there is enough choice available if their child cannot eat certain foods.

Lunch plans are available on a semester or yearly basis only. They are not available to purchase on a daily/weekly/monthly basis, or for less than a semester. This is to ensure that we have the continuity of numbers and to make certain that there is enough food for everyone enrolled in the plan.

Epicure is unable to offer any refund for missed days as the onsite chef will prepare daily for the total amount enrolled on the lunch plan, much the same as the school is unable to refund any school fees for sick days.

Epicure adheres to strict food hygiene and safety policies and procedures as provided to the school. In addition, Epicure employs their own internal auditor to monitor safe practices and report back to the Senior Management Team.

Grades 11-12 students, faculty/staff and parents can purchase snacks and drinks throughout the day at the café adjacent to the cafeteria. Younger students cannot use the café during the school day.

The cafeteria is open to everybody. All Elementary students are required to eat lunch in the cafeteria where there is adult supervision. Most Secondary students who bring their lunch from home will also eat there with their friends.
