WHO DECIDES WHAT IS ON THE MENU? |
A group of experienced managers plan the core menu taking into account popular foods, the time of year, dietary considerations and the introduction of new products to your children. Once the core menu is complete an independent state registered dietician analyses the menu and it is approved by the Primary Care Trust Nutritionist. The school Caterer then has the responsibility to order, prepare, serve and present the food from the menu.
All products are tested for taste and supplied by a reputable supplier. Rest assured that our staff are renowned for high standards of hygiene ensuring safety of food.
