Catering Information
We are delighted to partner with the students and staff at Woking High School
Our aim, along with the school, is to provide all students with an exceptional catering experience. Our very talented Executive Chefs and our fantastic catering teams will be serving exciting menus packed with healthy ingredients that are full of variety, and with loads of interesting new things to try. It's important that the food tastes as good as it looks and we're sure you will not be disappointed.
What's on the menu?
Innovate has long been considered the most inventive school caterer and that is because we are very clear about our food. All our dishes are prepared every day using quality, fresh and seasonal ingredients that are responsibly sourced. As well as ensuring the food on the plate is healthy, we want our customers to understand the importance of eating the right foods and help them with their food and nutrition journey.
A huge selection of 'grab and go' items including baguettes, paninis, burritos and salads to name a few.
♦ A variety of healthy, tasty main meals are prepared fresh every day from carefully selected ingredients. The menu will follow a similar weekly pattern, so you know what to expect, providing over 35 choices each day in addition to the ever-popular chef specials, themed events and loyalty schemes.
♦ Our Street Vibes range - a global street food that tours the world. It's always changing. From Korean fried chicken and Chinese bao buns, to Greek souvlaki, there's always something new to try!
♦ A salad bar bursting with flavour, from traditional garden salads to composite salads with a wide variety of grains, proteins, and dressings.
♦ Theme days: we're travelling around the world! We'll go to different regions each half term, with three days of special dishes alongside Street Vibes street food for the whole half term. There are also lots of individual special days and promotions that will run throughout the year!
I have a free school meal allowance, what can I have?
We want to ensure that all of our customers have access to a healthy nutritious meal and with this in mind, we have some meal deals in place. These include the hot main meal offer, a hot wrap or hot chefs special with a hot dessert.
We have also developed our "Blue Dot Deal" - 4 items can be purchased for the free school meal price.
Selected hot items such as garlic bread, mini pizza boats, mushroom quesadilla, and selected cold items such as filled rolls, crudites, fruit pots, etc. (usually priced at £1.10 each) can be bundled together at the free school meal price. However, students can purchase any items they wish that fall within the free school meal allocation, including the breakfast and break time offer at the school.
Tell us what you think
Once you've tried our service, let us know what you think. Drop us an email at hello@impactfood.co.uk to tell us about your dining experience. We also run regular customer and parent surveys which are sent out via the school, with the results being used to improve our service and adapt our menus.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Yours sincerely,
Pete O'Connor

Allergen Notice
Parents will be asked to complete an allergy/dietary requirement form which is sent out in the WHS welcome pack. This form can also be requested at any time by emailing info@wokinghigh.surrey.sch.uk and contains full instructions on how to complete it. The restaurant and kiosk display clearly identifiable posters which allow students to understand the ingredients in the items they are purchasing. This form together with a payment software system which flags individual students’ intolerances and dietary needs on an automatic warning system at the payment point in the restaurant or kiosk ensure students can be confident when purchasing. All members of the Innovate team are fully trained on food safety and reducing cross contamination and are always on hand to assist students if needed. If you require any further clarification on this matter please email info@wokinghigh.surrey.sch.uk
Biometric Cashless System
In common with other local schools we use a biometric cashless system, with payments made using an online account. Students may have their finger scanned, the image is converted into an alpha numeric character and the image is then discarded. Students then simply place their finger on a scanner at the point of sale and a display will show the server the student’s name, class, and current cash balance held within the system. The selected food items will be entered into the system from an itemised keyboard while the amount spent and the new cash balance will show on the display. There is a £6.00 per day limit on spending although this can be extended by arrangement.
Free School Meals
If your child is in receipt of Free School Meals £2.75 will be credited to their account every morning. This money can be used to purchase any of the items for sale in the restaurant, although the £2.75 two course meal is very good value. You may “top up” the account if you wish. If you think your child may be eligible for Free School Meals, you can apply via this link: Free School Meals Application.
