Our Catering Team

Hubert Francin

Chef Hubert has more than 30years experience in the Hospitality Sector. Commencing his career in Paris, he has travelled the world to develop his knowledge and skills and worked in some notable local restaurants such as London Street Brasserie, The Crooked Billet and The French Horn. Chef Hubert is passionate about providing good quality fresh food to our staff and students at Highdown.

Oliver Gillas

Oliver joined us from Reading School in November 2021 as Sous Chef. Oliver has been a chef for 24 years and has been a chef in schools for 4 1/2 years. 

We are thrilled he has joined the rest of the catering team at Highdown. He's eager to bring new ideas and delicious cuisine to Highdown. 

In his spare time, Oliver enjoys the theatre, movies, music and travel.  He is a keen Pittsburgh Steelers fan and has travelled to the USA to see them play live.

Against a backdrop of supply chain shortages, Hubert and the team have introduced a broader choice of menu, weekly international themed days and freshly baked cakes. The feedback they have received has been really positive, and they are happy to report an ever-increasing number of visitors to the Gallery. 

All our food is prepared from fresh, including a wide range of main meals (including vegetarian and / or vegan offers), freshly prepared salads, sandwiches and desserts, including fresh fruit. At break times, there are a selection of hot items accompanied by an array of home baked cakes, cookies and muffins.


Café 6 opens at 7.30am every day to Staff and Sixth Formers only.

The Gallery is open from 7:30am - 2pm every day to all students and staff, breakfast in the Gallery from 7:30am.
