Allergies and special diets

Page contents

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.

Every step is taken to avoid cross contamination by following the procedures outlined in our Assured Safe Catering Procedures Manual. These include two-stage cleaning and separate utensils. However, 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.
