Provenance & Planet
Our commitment to provenance is at the heart of everything we do. We champion locally sourced meats and dairy, working closely with trusted suppliers such as Graves Butcher in Hampshire and West Horsley Dairy to ensure freshness, quality and traceability. Many of our sustainable ingredients come directly from our own 1,200-acre estate, where we grow a variety of herbs, vegetables and fruits that inspire our seasonal menus. To further reduce our environmental footprint, we also use an eco-friendly, enzyme-based cleaning product, helping us maintain high standards while remaining mindful of our impact on the planet.
Events
We cater for a diverse array of occasions, ensuring every gathering is seamless and memorable. From delivering over 1,500 match teas each year to regular admissions events, welcome talks and lectures for parents, international summer camps and more our team provides delicious food and experiences to complement every moment.
In addition, we support alumni get-togethers, staff socials and wider community celebrations, including Open Gardens weekends, Festive Carols, and Jazz on the Green. Whatever the event, we deliver catering that enhances the experience and brings people together.
Pupil Voice
LWC’s commitment to pupil voice is reflected in our ongoing pop-up events, where students are invited to taste-test new dishes and cast their votes. Our Food Committees offer another valuable platform for students to share their insights, ideas, and needs, helping us shape menus that truly reflect our school community. Parents are also encouraged to engage with our dining experience and are invited throughout the academic year to visit and experience the offerings in Julyans.
Education
We are dedicated to inspiring students to appreciate the joy of food while cultivating curiosity about its origins, heritage, and environmental impact.
Our ambition is to emphasize the connection between what we eat and both mental and physical wellbeing. From sushi demonstrations to pop-up tasting events, we continually create opportunities for students to engage with our department, sparking conversations and hands-on learning that make food both exciting and meaningful.
