Menu Cycle Breakdown: How it works
Menus are updated each term.
Within each term menus are based on a two-week cycle:
WEEK A : Days 1 - 5
WEEK B : Days 6 - 10
Hot & Cold Lunch Rotation
Hot lunches alternate each day over the two-week cycle (one week there will be three hot lunches, and two in the second).
Nutritional Approach
Our menus are designed by our team of Production Chefs and NZ Registered Dietitians, and made with fresh ingredients.
At Lunchy we aim to nourish students with delicious, ready-to-eat lunches that help them thrive at school, while helping them to understand and appreciate new and healthy foods.
Our menus have been developed in line with the Ministry of Education Nutritional Guidelines and are MOE approved.
Special Dietary Meals Summary
Lunchy is committed to providing food that meets high safety and suitability standards and we understand the importance of allergen management and awareness.
It is important to note that our kitchen handles a diverse range of ingredients, including Gluten, Wheat, Milk/Dairy, Egg, Soy, Fish, Shellfish*, Tree Nuts*, Peanuts, Sesame, Sulphites, and Lupin. Products from our suppliers may also be manufactured in facilities where allergen-containing ingredients are present.

*Shellfish includes all mollusc and crustacean. Tree Nuts include, but is not limited to, common Tree Nuts like almond, Brazil nut, cashew, hazelnut, macadamia, pecan, pistachio, walnut, and pine nut.
