Allergies and special diets
Who we cater for
We are experienced at catering for specific dietary requirements ranging from vegan and halal, to vegetarian and gluten free. We cater for the 14 key allergens identified by the Food Standards Agency.
Please ask your school office for a Special Diet application form where you can outline your child's specific needs. The catering team will access the applications and match to an appropriate menu.
Whilst every step is taken to avoid cross contamination by following the procedures outlined in our Assured Safe Catering Procedures Manual for instance two-stage cleaning and separate utensils, we cannot guarantee an allergen free environment for the production of dishes on our allergen menus.
For safety reasons, it is not possible to cater for pupils with airborne allergies given the facilities available in school kitchens.
Nutritional menu information
Please note: Information regarding the carbohydrate content of dishes is provided to assist dieticians and parents to calculate intake for diabetic children. This information, whilst as accurate as possible, should be considered advisory.
Product labels which are available in the kitchen, should be referred to for source data. The menu may be subject to change to meet local needs.
Some pre-prepared vegetables from fresh produce suppliers may contain traces of celery and/or sulphates.
