Catering at Eggar's School - Your Innovate School Restaurant
We’ve teamed up with Innovate, part of Impact Food Group, to create a school dining experience that’s modern, exciting, and full of choice. Whether students are grabbing something on the go or sitting down with friends for a hot meal, there’s something for everyone – every single day.
Our school’s food is made fresh on site by a friendly, skilled catering team using great quality ingredients parents and students can trust – and the menu is packed with variety, flavour and plenty of options to suit every appetite.
What’s on the Menu?
Students, whether you’re after a quick bite between lessons or something to properly fill you up at lunchtime, here’s what you’ll find:
Restaurant Menu
Hearty, filling main meals that change every day. Think popular favourites like roast dinners and pasta bakes – with every dish served up with veggie sides and a pudding.
Grab & Go
Perfect for busy lunchtimes or when you're short on time – sandwiches, wraps, salads, paninis, pasta pots, and more. Freshly made, easy to carry, and always packed with flavour.
Naturally
A great choice of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options, including fresh salads, wraps, fruit pots and baked snacks.
StreetVibes – Made Your Way!
This is where bold flavours meet personal choice. StreetVibes brings the world’s street food to your school – from sizzling noodles to loaded mac & cheese and flavour-packed shawarma.
Each week, a different concept takes centre stage, but the ordering stays simple: choose a base, add a protein, top it your way—offering over 20 meal combos per concept.
Chill Deal
Look out for items marked with the Chill Deal logo – these are part of our great value cold meal deal. This quick and convenient option works like high-street meal deals—grab 4 cold items from our fridges for the free school meal price of a free school meal.
Theme Days & Specials
Watch out for special themed menus throughout the year, designed to celebrate cultural and festive events, showcase new dishes and global flavours, and bring some extra fun to the restaurant. Think festive Christmas lunches, Chinese New Year inspired feasts, sporty specials during major tournaments, and mood-boosting treats during exam season – there’s always something to look forward to.
Our Food Values
We're serious about doing good while eating well. Our menus are built on a foundation of:

Free School Meals
Free School Meals are available for any student whose families meet the Hampshire County Council eligibility criteria. If you would like further information and details on registering for Free School Meals, click here.
Students entitled to free school meals can enjoy a full hot main meal and dessert of the day, or they can mix things up with options from StreetVibes and Chill Deal – all available within the allowance.
Breakfast and breaktime offers are also available as part of the FSM allowance – so you’ll never miss out.
Cashless Catering System
We operate a cashless catering system, using the latest biometric technology and eliminating the need for students to carry cash throughout the day. The system simply recognises the biometric reading of your child’s thumb at the tills.
Students will each be given an account and any amount of money can be paid into it. Anything spent on food and drink will be deducted on a daily basis. Accounts are easily topped up online via Scopay.
We require consent from at least one parent for the biometric information of your child to be processed. For frequently asked questions and an opt-in form please click on the attachments at the bottom of the page.
