Special dietary information

The on-site catering manager can discuss any dietary needs, if there are any specific dietary requirements we need to be aware of. This could include salt/sugar/fat content, level of dairy products or allergy information such as wheat, yeast, nuts, etc. The catering manager will work through this form to review the school menu and identify suitable foot options for any children with dietary issues. If you are joining Shevington High School please contact school to discuss dietary needs with the catering manager.

In addition to the above, allergen information will be provided in line with Natasha’s Law that came into force in September 2021.

At Mellors, not only do we want to provide your child with a nutritious meal, we want them to have fun! Whether its National baking week or Best of British, we will run themes to bring something new to the table for your child to try. Beyond the dining room, Mellors Development Chefs offer classes to teach children the basics of cooking. Danielle, Head of Nutrition and Food Development, delivers assemblies in schools on the importance of making healthy choices. She’ll even get them on the smoothie bike to whizz up some drinks for the class. We also have the Mellors Big Red Bus that can visit our schools to provide a truly unique dining experience!
