Ingredients, provenance and quality. It really is that simple.

Supporting pupil potential

The Lodestone House menu principles have been lovingly crafted in partnership between our procurement, nutrition, culinary and operational teams.

Underpinned by our ingredient and nutrition commitments, our menus help pupils achieve their true potential, whether that's in the classroom or on the pitch.
