Dining Room
At Didsbury High School our catering services are provided by Dolce, one of the market leaders who provide catering and support services to secondary schools throughout the UK.
In our school refectories all our food is prepared fresh every day. We know it’s not just the food on the plate that is important but a real understanding of health and nutrition too.

We’re committed to helping to develop great eating habits in young people by providing nutritious, tasty and tantalising dishes of current food favourites all freshly prepared by the onsite catering team.
All of our menus offer a carefully comprised mix of nutritional and tasty food, which is compliant to government legislation. We also take special care to ensure students, staff and visitors with dietary requirements are catered for.
