Canteen Facilities

Mellors Catering Service have been selected to provide meal services to our students from January 2022. In the first half term Mellors will be working closely with the school to develop a tailored menu that is nutritionally balanced and provides food that our students want to eat.

Mellors are a family business that specialise in providing catering for schools in the Midlands and North of England. They are passionate about providing wholesome, fresh, locally sourced food that is cooked in our kitchen. All meals are made daily on-site by their catering teams.

Mellors have a fantastic range of food to choose from that is nutritionally balanced and tasty, that includes a range of menu options and provides variety. Our school counters are packed full of choice and we encourage all of our students to eat a balanced diet and a rainbow of fruit and vegetables, helping to keep their minds and bodies focussed and healthy.

Menu

Mellors operate a 3-week menu cycle for lunch times and current menus can be found on the right of this page. These will be reviewed and updated after February half term.

Week 1 Menu	Week 2 Menu	Week 3 Menu
	10 – 14 January 2022	17 – 21 January 2022
24 – 28 January 2022	31 Jan – 4 February 2022	7 – 11 February 2022

They offer a grab and go menu for break-time with lighter options available and choices vary from day to day in the week.

It is possible that substitutions may be made where supplies for menu options are not available and alternatives need to be offered.

Mellors Catering at CCHS

Please find below their Parent Information Pack, which will provide you with an overview of their ethos and services. We are very much looking forward to working with Mellors in developing our catering services and they will engage with students, staff and parents to enable them to fully understand our requirements. More information on this will follow.

By law they are required to collect information about allergens and you will see some information about this in the pack, along with a separate Allergen Information Pack and a form for completion. You will need to complete the form if your child has a registered allergy or intolerance. We apologise, as we know that many of you have completed a form earlier this term for our existing caterers, Aspens. However, the change of contract means that the information does need to be collected separately for Mellors. We would appreciate it if you could complete this form and return it to Mrs Moore, if your child does have a registered allergy or intolerance. Where forms have not been returned, your child will only be served with plain food alternatives if they require a meal, until the full information is available to catering staff.
