Dining

Students sit at tables in a brightly lit cafeteria with banners hanging from the ceiling and a large %22HUN%22 sign on the wall.

Our pantry is bare. Our kitchen's shelves are empty. Cans and jars are almost nonexistent.

Yet, we serve 1,200 meals each day. Welcome to dining at The Hun School, where fresh ingredients, sourced from local farms, purveyors or our own backyard garden, are the main course. We serve three meals a day — on a slow day — since we also celebrate as a community with food (think Hispanic Heritage Month, Carnival, and Lunar New Year).

Crafted with Care

The Scratch Factor

Here at The Hun School, our meals are made from scratch. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Imagine grandma's kitchen, albeit on a larger scale. We do not take shortcuts and instead of cooking in batches, our food is cooked to order. It means if chicken marsala is on the menu, you will not get a piece that has been sitting under food warming lamps — you will get a freshly made piece that is tender and juicy.

Organic is No Longer Niche

Variety is the Spice of Life

Two types of protein served alongside two types of vegetables. Four vegetarian-friendly selections. House-roasted meats and a build-your-own-salad bar. And that's just lunch. We believe in the power of choice. From hot entrées and homemade soups to crisp salads and delicious sandwiches, our seemingly limitless choices ensure that no one leaves our Dining Hall unsatisfied. We also celebrate a multitude of cultures through epicurean exploration, which means that Tuesday could mean gyoza or gyros.

The Science Behind Our Cooking

We stand behind the belief that our food should not only taste great, but it should also be good for you. Sage's trusted nutritionists consult with our chef and kitchen staff on every recipe, suggesting healthier alternatives when making time-honored favorites and ramping up the nutrition factor in all of our meals. All nutrition information is readily accessible in the app and onsite signage, and the menu is posted online every day. We also work hand-in-hand with our Health Center staff to tackle food allergies head on — in fact, our Free Style station serves foods free from twelve of the top allergens. Our students' health and safety is our number one priority.

The Dining Hall

The Dining Hall is a little like your own kitchen away from home: a place to gather, refuel, and feel comfortable any time of day. Sure, you’ll come for meals, but you might also stop in for a mug of hot chocolate between classes, meet with your advisor over fresh bagels to talk through a college essay, or tuck into a quiet corner to finish homework before practice.

Every day brings plenty of delicious options, from hot entrées and homemade soups to an always-open salad bar packed with fresh ingredients. Students can enjoy gluten-free and vegetarian stations, deli favorites made just the way they like them, and comfort-food staples from the pizza oven and Italian café, including stromboli and pasta. And no visit is complete without a stop at a Hun campus favorite: the JB Creamery, home to two soft-serve ice cream machines and a freezer full of frozen treats.

But the Dining Hall is about more than great food. The Hun School Dining Hall also offers nutritional guidance, creative menus for holidays and special events, and a welcoming staff who believe some of the best moments in a community happen when people gather around the table together.

PA Café

Students may also choose to eat at The PA Café, located in the Wilf Family Global Commons, at select times. The café is ideal for students on the go and offers prepared items like flatbread pizza, wraps, and salads, as well as a large selection of drinks, fruit, snacks, and desserts. Students may use spending money or their student accounts to purchase items.

Many of the weekend activities include lunch or dinner off campus. These excursions are available at no cost to boarding school students. Popular off-campus dining destinations include Hoagie Haven, Kung Fu Tea, Halo Pub Ice Cream, and Wawa.
