Catering
When you're a busy, growing pupil, food is an incredibly important part of the day. One of the most frequently asked questions at our Open Days is 'What is the food like?'. ''
From the Prep School through to the Sixth Form, students at Lingfield College enjoy dedicated dining facilities that create a positive and social mealtime experience. Our catering partner, Holroyd Howe, delivers a high-quality, sustainable food offering, serving freshly prepared breakfasts, lunches and snacks that support the wellbeing and development of pupils and staff alike.
