Portioning is guided by our registered dietitian to make sure the range on offer supports balanced, appropriate intake for secondary-aged students, while still giving them the freedom to choose what they eat.

Industry Leading School Meal Providers
From innovative menus to sustainable sourcing, Freshtoday continues to lead the way in shaping the future of school meals in Ireland.
Working Hand-in-Hand with Irish Growers
By sourcing locally whenever possible, across Donegal and the wider North West, we reduce food miles, support rural communities, and ensure children enjoy produce that’s fresher, tastier, and packed with natural goodness. Our two heating facilities in Letterkenny and Buncrana keep supply chains short and reliable, so meals reach schools quickly and at peak quality. From crisp Irish vegetables to dairy, meat, and seasonal fruit, our menus reflect the very best of what Donegal’s land and coastline have to offer.
For parents, this means peace of mind knowing their child’s school meals are made close to home in Donegal with wholesome, locally grown produce. For schools, it means being part of a sustainable, county-led food chain that strengthens Donegal’s economy and Irish agriculture while delivering consistent, high-quality meals every day.
