Pabulum is the school's catering provider for pupil meals. They offer healthy menus that are fully compliant with the School Food Standards. TWO meal options are available daily for every child.

Every child's meal must be ordered online via the Pabulum school meal ordering portal, this is regardless of whether you pay for a school meal or if you are eligible for Free School Meals or Universal Free School Meals.
A school meal costs £2.55 per day (which equates to £12.75 for the week). All orders and payment (if applicable) need to be made in advance and by no later than 8.00 am on the Monday for that week.
If you only require a school dinner for a particular day (or days) for example, a Wednesday and Friday, login to the online school meal ordering portal and select the day(s) on the calendar that you require. Again all orders and payments (if applicable) must be made in advance as above.
If you order a school meal for your child and payment has not been made in advance you will be contacted by the school office and asked to make an immediate online payment to ensure your child is provided a school meal.
If at any time you would like to change the type of meal your child is provided, i.e. a hot meal to a cold meal option, or vice versa, please contact the school office on 01843 221877 or email office@garlinge.kent.sch.uk to formally request this change.
