What you need to know

Whether you are eating in one of our workplace dining halls, visitor attractions, or education settings, you should feel safe and reassured that the food and drink you eat has the most up-to-date, accurate information available to you.

If you require more information about our medical diet policies, procedures or any help at all, please do not hesitate to get in touch: Diets@cleverchefs.co.uk

THAT'S

Nuts

In primary school locations, we never use products containing nuts as an ingredient. In secondary education, we occasionally use products with a ‘may contain nuts’ declaration. All allergen information can be found via the QR codes on our published menus.

Students who have a nut allergy will be required to register their details with us. This information will be kept on file for staff in the kitchen.

WE ARE ON

Form

In our primary education sector, we ask parents or guardians of children with food allergies or dietary restrictions to complete the form below and return it to the school office with the accompanying medical evidence.

This form is then reviewed by our special diets team, which checks for discrepancies and decides the best menu for the pupil.

In our other education sectors, the information needs to be registered with the school, and this will be shown by the till system at the sites when a purchase is made. The staff will verify the purchase at the point of sale.

Special Diets Request Form

If you are unable to complete this form, please obtain a paper copy from your school office. Once this form is complete, please return it to the office, and they will forward it to the Special Diets team for processing. You may be contacted by the Special Diets team if they have any questions. Following this, the completed menu will be sent to you from the school office.

MEDICAL DIETS

We know pupils with certain medical conditions may need a special diet plan not necessarily centred around intolerances or allergens. For example, some pupils with conditions that involve swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) may require a modified texture diet such as fork-mashed, smooth or pureed foods.

Cleverchefs will support these pupils’ requirements on an individual basis by working in conjunction with parents and the school’s catering manager to ensure a suitable and safe meal is available each day.

Information

Important Information About these Menus

This page displays our standard menu, which is used across the majority of our schools.

Because some schools make local or bespoke changes to reflect pupil preferences, dietary needs, or regional produce, the menu your child receives may differ slightly from what you see here.

If you’ve arrived here via our website, rather than the QR code on your school’s printed menu, please be aware that this version might not reflect your school’s personalised menu.
