Welcome to Café Rockway!

CAFÉ ROCKWAY is open with full cafeteria style service (i.e. trays, plates, cutlery, more food options, etc.).

Students are asked to stand in line with cash, or meal ticket (see below), and flow through the servery in single file. The Hot Plate meal will remain as a rotating menu item with many other drinks, foods and snacks (e.g. sandwiches, baked goods, freezer treats) which can also be purchased.

What is a “Hot Plate” meal?

The term “Hot Plate” is the menu item listed on the rotation.  It includes an entree or a main dish plus a side item. Each day, our Food Services staff create and serve delicious home cooked meals for students, staff and faculty to enjoy. Check out the chart below for this years’ four-week rotation schedule. This rotation is subject to change, and any changes will be noted in the Daily Announcements.

What if a student has dietary needs?

Any student with a dietary requirement who wishes to purchase the hot plate that day should email Cyndi at cafe@rockway.ca no later than 10:00 am so their dietary needs may be accommodated appropriately.

Students may purchase any food or drink from Café Rockway with cash OR if they will be regularly purchasing the Hot Plate meal, you may want to consider buying MEAL TICKETS.

What are Meal Tickets?

Meal tickets are a convenient way that families can purchase food in advance from Café Rockway. They are sold in bundles of ten and are priced to give a small discount (see below).

Pricing

As inflation continues to affect the cost of food Café Rockway feels it is important to ensure students have a hot meal option that is of value. Our pricing has been altered, but we have sought to add some extra value. Thank you for your understanding.

If paying in cash, the Hot Plate is $9.50 this year. Check out our Price List for full menu and pricing information.

Meal Ticket Bundles

Meal tickets help to move the lunch line along while helping to save a little money. Families may wish to buy Meal Tickets in bulk (bundles of 10 tickets).
