Do I need to apply for a special diet menu?
Vegetarians
We offer a daily vegetarian meal option. There is no need for you to apply for a special diet menu using this application system.
Nut allergies
We guarantee that our standard primary school menu, known as the 'classics' option, is 100% nut free. We also ensure that ingredients are manufactured in a nut free environment. This controls the risk of cross contamination. Which means that all children with a nut allergy are able to eat our standard menu with no need to register for a special diet.
Diabetics
You can find the carbohydrate count for each of our meals here. So there is no need to apply for a special diet menu.
