Farmhouse Menus – June

Meal Plans by Year Group

FS1, FS2, and Years 1–3

Parents of students in FS1, FS2, and Years 1–3 are required to select one of the fixed menus for their child as part of a term-based subscription.

Years 4–12

Students in Years 4 to 12 may personally select food items from any of the available menus at the school’s canteen. Meals in these year groups are purchased on a pay-as-you-go basis using credits loaded into a top-up account, which is managed by parents.

Each student will be issued a cashless card linked to their top-up account, along with a green Arbor lanyard. These cards are the responsibility of the student.

Replacement cards can be issued upon request and will incur a fee of AED 50.
Cards can be collected from the canteen once they are ready after activation.

Important Notes:

• All subscriptions must be submitted at least 2 working days prior to the preferred start date, with a cut-off time of 1:00 PM.
• Always double-check the subscription start date shown in your confirmation to ensure your child’s meals begin as planned.

Reminder: Subscriptions made after 1:00 PM or less than two working days before the intended start date will begin on the next eligible service day.

Daily Meal Fees

Snack: AED 12 / day
Lunch: AED 20 / day
Dessert: AED 10 / day

Allergy Information

Despite following strict safety protocols, we cannot guarantee allergen-free meals due to the shared nature of our kitchen facilities.

Our kitchen and bakery use gluten regularly, so The Farmhouse is not suitable for those with severe gluten allergies.
We aim to accommodate dietary needs as best we can, but individual bespoke meals are not possible, especially for students with severe or life-threatening allergies.

Discounts & Rewards

Term Subscription Discount (FS1–Y3)

A 20% discount is available for term-based subscriptions if purchased within the first week of term.
All subscriptions are automatically calculated to exclude Fridays, holidays, and weekends.

Top-Up Rewards (Y4–Y12)

Parents who top up accounts for students in Years 4–12 may receive bonus credit rewards, depending on the amount loaded.

How do I book a school lunch?

The Farmhouse at Arbor’s online ordering system allows parents to subscribe to (FS1 through Year 3) or top up (Years 4-12) meal accounts and pay instantly online without having to wait for confirmation emails or deal with payment links.

To create a meal account for your child, please visit https://thefarmhouse.thearborschool.ae  and follow these steps:

Activate your account by using your email address held on file with the school. You will receive a one-time password to this email address thatyou will need in order to complete your account activation. If you do not receive a one-time password shortly after clicking on “Activate”, please check your spam and junk folders.
Log in to your account using the password you defined during the activation of your account. You should now see separate windows for each of your children enrolled in the school.
Click on “Subscription” or “Top Up” in the window of each child that you would like to create a meal account for. For subscriptions (FS1 through Year 3), make all necessary selections, and you will find that your fees are automatically calculated taking into account both discounts and holidays as applicable. For top ups (Years 4-12), select how much credit you would like to add to your child’s account, and remember to click on the three dots to the right of your child’s name in order to specify their allergies and dislikes.
Complete the payment for each meal account. Once each payment is completed, you will see a confirmation message from Payfort as well as receive an automatically-generated confirmation email from the school. If you do not receive this confirmation email, please check your spam and junk folders. Alternatively, click back on to the “Dashboard” in the system and you should now see that your child’s window has been updated to reflect the validity period of their meal plan (in the case of subscriptions) or their top up balance.
