A new school year means new timetables, new routines — and at Food Village, new things to look forward to at lunchtime.
As secondary schools get ready to return this September, we’ve added a fresh line-up of dishes to the Food Village menu, giving students even more choice throughout the school week.
From comforting hot lunches to quick bites between classes, there are plenty of new favourites waiting to be discovered.
New hot lunch favourites
We’re bringing even more variety to the hot-food menu this September.
Students can now try Chicken Thai Green Curry with Rice, joining our existing range of curries, rice dishes and hot meals.
There are also two new roast-style options:
- Baked Potato, Cheese & Beans Pot
- Baked Falafel with Mash, Vegetables & Mango Chutney
These additions give students even more choice, including new meat-free options alongside familiar favourites.
New noodles to try
For noodle fans, two new dishes have joined the Pasta & Noodles range:
- Núdail Sicín Mionghearrtha Milis & Géar
- Núdail Lacha Hoisin
Both add even more variety to an already packed lunchtime menu.
More choice for wraps, rolls and baguettes
Sometimes students want something quick, easy and packed with flavour.
New additions include:
- Fillteán Tuinnín Leáite
- Ham, Cheese & Coleslaw Soft Roll
- Ham & Cheese Bap
- Bap Falafel
Perfect for students who prefer a handheld lunch rather than a full hot meal.
Meet the new Loaded Cubes
One of the biggest additions to the menu this September is our new Loaded Cubes range.
Students can now choose from:
- Loaded Cubes with Bacon & Garlic
- Loaded Cubes with Cheese & Curry
- Loaded Cubes with Cheese & Beans
These join a wider European-style hot food range that includes dishes such as Meatball Marinara Sub with Baked Potato Cubes, Spice Bag with Curry, Beef Burger and Homemade Beef Lasagne.
New quick bites for busy school days
We’ve also added several smaller hot options for students looking for something quick between classes or a lighter lunch.
New for September:
- Crosán Ispíní
- Ispíní Cóctaile
- Ispíní Cóctail BBQ
- Crosán Liamhás agus Cáise
- Crosán Uibhe & Cáise
- Crosán Uibhe & Bagúin
More choice for the new school year
The new dishes join a Food Village menu already offering everything from pasta, curries and roast dinners to sandwiches, wraps, salads, bakery items, snacks and drinks.
Students can pre-order in advance, use their collection keytag and, where available, make a same-day purchase through the in-school ordering station.
We can’t wait to welcome students back this September — and see which of the new dishes becomes the first big favourite of the new school year.
