School Menus (2026/27)
Our menus operate on a rotating cycle, providing a good variety of meals across the term while meeting all nutritional standards.
Due to delivery arrangements for fresh fish, schools follow one of two menu versions:
- A menu where fish is served on Thursday
- A menu where fish is served on Friday
Both menus are nutritionally identical, with the only difference being the day fish is served.
View our menus:
- School Menu 2026/27 (Fish on Thursday) - Baltasound, Cunningsburgh, Dunrossness, Hamnavoe, Sandwick, Whalsay
- School Menu 2026/27 (Fish on Friday) - All other schools
Please note that menus may occasionally change due to supply or seasonal availability.
