Academy Lunches
Welcome to award-winning dining at Mayfield!
During last year, our Caterers Sodexo, who provide a fantastic menu of hot and cold food every day at the Academy, worked tirelessly to achieve the Silver Soil Association Standard for Food, which guarantees quality, healthy and tasty cuisine for all our students, staff and visitors.
Also during last year, our Dining Team Manager, Amanda Ainsworth, won a prestigious Sodexo Star Award for the way she engages with students and staff in promoting and providing the wonderful food cooked by Amanda and her team in our Dining Area. It is a huge recognition of her excellent work ethic, team management and skill in the kitchen! She is always smiling, cheerful and professional and we are incredibly lucky to have Amanda and her team serving food at Mayfield every day! The Dining team now provide a 3-week menu, which rolls on continuously throughout the year. Please click below to see what is available for students each week
Alongside the daily menu choices, the Dining Team runs several different promotions, which coincide with daily, weekly or yearly themes; from seasonal dates such as Spring/Easter and Winter/Christmas to awareness dates, such as World Book Day and National Pie Week! There are always great meal deals and promotions on offer.
