School Food Standards Mellors Catering Services is very proud to exceed School Food Standards, meaning they provide a balanced diet with the essential nutrients your child needs. Menus developed by Mellors Catering Services ensure your child is given the healthiest choices that provide them with at least two of the recommended 5-a-day portions of fruit and veg. Weekly menus provided by Mellors Catering Services have been planned to offer choice and variety for your child that doesn’t cost the earth. They provide hot specials of the day, fresh vegetables or salad, a vegetarian choice, hot and cold desserts, snacks and sandwiches, juices and drinks. Please ask the school office if you would like a copy of the school menu.
Special Dietary Information Please contact the on-site catering manager if there are any specific dietary requirements that our catering staff need to be aware of. This could include salt/sugar/fat content, level of dairy products or allergy information such as wheat, yeast, nuts, dairy etc. There is a lot of diet and nutrition information out there but sometimes it can be helpful to have some extra guidance – that’s why you can email their registered nutritionist with your questions via the Mellors website or using the link below: www.mellorscatering.co.uk/food
Packed Lunches
If you would like to provide a packed lunch for your child, we expect the same quality of nutrition to be provided.
The Mellors catering team and office staff are happy to help with any enquiries or support that you may need with school lunches.
