Is packed lunch my only option?

Sorry if this isn't the correct place to post this, but I need some advice on allergies and packed lunches.

DS is starting reception from next week and we were always going to go down the school meals route. He has some allergies, but everyone said that I shouldn't worry and DS will definitely get something to eat.

I have just checked the school menus (why didn't I do this before!) and it looks like on at least 4 out 5 days, the only option DS will have is a jacket potato. He doesn't mind jacket potato, but I know he wouldn't want it on a daily basis.

So do I just give in, get organised and do packed lunches? I don't even know what to pack.. The only thing I can think of is sandwiches. I need to get creative and desperate for ideas and advice.
Can I send in cold pasta dishes or cold rice dishes?

DS is allergic to wheat.. I really wish he had some more wheat free options. I guess it would be too much trouble for the catering companies to do gluten options for pasta and other dishes.

TIA!

Just sending this over to parenting for the OP.
