Hello from SIPS Catering!
We are delighted to confirm that we will be the catering provider for Glebefields Primary from Monday 29 June 2026, and we'll be on our full menu from day one - so hot meals are back!
You may recognise us, and our menu, as we were the caterer for Glebefields until the end of March. Since then, we know you've seen some changes, and we understand that you may have taken the decision to move away from school lunches. We've been working in partnership with the school over the last few weeks to get everything ready to return to the kitchen and start cooking good food for your children. We're committed to proving an excellent service each and every day.
One last thing - Cypad pre-order will be back up and running in the near future, so look out for more information on that from the school.
Our kitchen team can't wait to see everyone at the counter. It's great to be back!
With Best Wishes,
SIPS Catering
