Every bite matters!
Children are often picky eaters and they usually eat far less than we would wish for! This is why we believe it is imperative for every single bite to be as flavorsome, visually and texturally tempting, and as nutritionally dense as possible.

At BEYC we serve meal and snacks in the day.
Morning Snack is a consisting of a choice of seasonal fruits and home-made nut milks such as walnut, cashew or almond. (we also serve organic dairy milk)
Lunch is where we pack most vitamins and minerals into the menu. We serve a mix of international cuisines, tried and tested combinations focusing on taste, colour and presentation.
Afternoon Snack is designed to boost consumption of daily fibre, vitamins and mineral and is naturally sweetened with fruits or unrefined sugar.
