QM was named the ‘Best School Food in the UK’ in the Tatler Awards, a testament to the quality and diversity of the food on offer. Meals are usually taken in the school’s dining room, which is light and airy, and provides the perfect environment to relax and enjoy good, hearty, honest food. Menus rotate on a tri-weekly basis and are created with valuable input from girls and staff.
The Good Schools Guide says "All we spoke to agreed the food is fantastic, after our lunch in the Dining Room we tend to agree." (read The Good Schools Guide Review here).
In addition to providing breakfast, lunch and dinner on a daily basis, our talented Catering Team also provide supplies for the boarding houses, including bread, cereal, fruit, milk, tea, coffee and biscuits as well as well-balanced packed lunches for school trips.
