Craigdhu Primary School operate a cashless cafeteria system that provides a wide selection of meals and snacks.

Pupils pay for their meals on a daily basis. There is an emphasis on encouraging children to eat healthy options with fresh fruit and salad available daily. There is a termly menu available which includes prices. These menus and the lunchtime rota are both available on the website.

This is the link to order and pay

Facilities are also available within the hall for children who wish to bring a packed lunch.  In order to avoid accidents, please do not give children breakable bottles, cans or hot liquid flasks.  Plastic bottles are collected and recycled.  Subsidised milk is available for all children.

As we have children with diagnosed severe peanut allergy we must insist that all children refrain from bringing nuts or peanut butter to school.  Even sitting beside someone with food items containing nuts is enough to trigger extremely severe reactions in some children.  For the same reason our cafeteria specialises in a “nut free” diet.

We know that maintaining a healthy diet is linked to a happy and active lifestyle.  By eating a school meal provided by East Dunbartonshire Council’s School Meals Service your child is guaranteed a balanced nutritious meal to keep them healthy and alert throughout the school day.

The meals are freshly cooked on a daily basis by our skilled staff who care about food and your child’s wellbeing.  Our staff will help your child to make balanced choices.  The meals meet the Scottish Government’s nutritional regulations.

Any Special diets or allergies should be discussed with the school.

Meal prices are reviewed annually.  Please contact the School to be advised of the current price.
