Not included on the meal card

Confectionery, crisps, ice cream, cakes, biscuits drinks (except those offered with the meal).

Takeaway containers and cutlery must be purchased when buying food to take away from the main canteen.  These are charged at 50p.  Students may bring their own clean reusable container if they prefer.

These can be purchased using your I-pay account using your student badge.  Debit or Credit cards may also be used.  The College is cashless so cash is not taken onsite.

Free College Meals

Students with access to Free College Meals are allocated lunch on their meal cards.  This entitles them to any main meal, pasta or sandwich meal deal currently up to the value of £3.50.  Allowance that is not used on any given day will be deleted and not carried forward.
