School Canteen

At Plymouth High School for Girls we are passionate about providing our students with a nutritious and balanced meal, not just to get through the day but to be the best they can be. We educate the students in making healthy choices and provide the students with plenty of option.

We regularly update the main menu choices which will always include a vegetarian / vegan option, please see below for the most recent menu choices. In addition to the main menu we offer additional items which include Jacket Potatoes, Sandwiches and a Salad Bar.

We have 3 separate station's which the students can choose from. The Main Canteen, known as the Refectory, has the main serving counter along with our separate salad bar. Outside we have Bertha's which is our food kiosk, serving a range of snacks, paninis, baguettes and homemade cakes.

We are very approachable and if you have any worries/concerns about allergens in any of our food products, please do not hesitate to ask one of our canteen staff members who will be more than happy to assist you. Students are encouraged to discuss any allergies they may have with the canteen staff before making their lunch choices.
