Dining in St Christopher School Boarding
At St Chris, we believe that a well-fed student is a happy and successful student.
Our dedicated chef and catering team work to create delicious, seasonal, healthy meals using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
The Best of Both Worlds
St Chris follows a predominantly vegetarian menu during the day. However, we believe in catering to individual preferences. Thanks to a student-led initiative, the School Council voted to allow meat to be served at breakfast and for dinner. This ensures that all student's dietary choices are respected, making for a diverse and inclusive dining experience.
Dining Together, Building Connections
Our Dining Hall, known as the IG, is where students from all age groups come together with the boarding team and other members of staff for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This shared venue ensures mealtimes are a social occasion, providing an opportunity for students and staff to mix, share stories, and build lasting connections. It's not just about eating; it's about fostering a sense of community and camaraderie.
In the Boarding House we also celebrate and share festivals and cultural traditions from across the world. From hotpot night to sushi making, boarders enjoy learning about each other's cultures and food traditions.
Dietary Excellence
At St Chris, we understand that everyone has unique dietary needs. That's why our catering team goes above and beyond to cater to a wide range of dietary requirements. Whether you're a vegetarian, vegan, or have specific food allergies, we've got you covered. Our goal is to create a dining experience that suits your individual needs and preferences.
Sixth Form Independence
Our Sixth Form boarders have access to a fully equipped kitchen so can choose to cook for themselves if they choose to. Here, boarders can unleash their culinary creativity, preparing snacks and meals according to their preferences, empowering our older students with a sense of independence and responsibility.
Healthy snacks such as fruit and popcorn are always available for all boarders plus houseparent Cecilia’s famous brownies also make a special appearance!
