School Dinner Menu - Millthorpe School York

We’re sure you have a few questions…
Who decides what is on the menu?
Our Executive Chef, Nutritionist and dining
room staff are all involved in creating our
Service. This ensures that everything we
offer is nutritious, delicious and balanced.
It also goes without saying that we take
requests and suggestions from all of our
Students on board too!
Do ISS menus comply to
Governmental guidelines?
Yes! – all of our menus comply with strict
food and nutrient standards and are
continually audited and approved.
As a parent, how often can I see
your menus?
We send our menus to you by post each
time we change Its content, this is typically
twice a year. You can also access all of our
menus by visiting:
www.feedinghungryminds.co.uk
meals in your child’s school visit: www.
york.gov.uk/education/Schools_and_
colleges/education_awards/free_
school_meals for a form to download or
contact School reception. The new income
threshold figure from 6th April 2010 is
£16,190.
…And there’s more!
Menu diversity -
We work hard to ensure that all Students’
dietary needs are met from a religious and
cultural perspective and break times are
an enjoyable experience.
Vegetarian options -
Our vegetarian dishes are nutritionally
balanced and will include protein from
pulses and grains, as well as dairy
produce. Most importantly, they are also
deliciously appetizing!
Check out our other Food.. on offer! The
freshest ingredients delivers a wide variety
of menu ideas that are innovative and all
aimed at making a difference. Attached
is our menu cycle for our nutritionally
compliant “Meal Deals” priced at £2.30.
In addition, we offer a wide range of tasty
choices designed on the latest food trends
on the High Street.
Our salads are varied and can include
the option of building your own or a tasty
range of composite salads. Sandwiches are
selected for their creative ingredients and
wide variety of bread options.
Some of the concepts we pitch next to our
traditional offers such as home made pizza
and traditional main meals are:
‘Quick Serve’: This concept will allow us to
give greater menu variation. Each dish is
pre-portioned in advance so it is easy to
serve and allows queues to move smoothly.
There is also a strong nutritional emphasis
on the items while it lends itself to some
really attractive international flavours.
Some examples are:
• Chicken, Rice And Peas
• Cajun Potato Chunks With Chilli
Mayonnaise
• Bombay Potato With Yoghurt Raita
• Sweet And Sour Oriental Noodle
Meal Soups: This concept is a popular trend
that has really taken off and appeals to
people on the move that want something
’hearty’ to eat for lunch. Soup in its traditional
form is often seen as incomplete on its
own. Meal soups offer an innovative twist to
your plated meal offer with all the nutritious
goodness locked in. What’s brilliant about
this concept is that it is very versatile and
can once again incorporate several global
flavours. Our favourite meal soups are:
• Thai Chicken Curry
• Lamb, Spinach and Potato Broth
• Tuscan bean and tomato
All served with a hearty chunk of bread!
We eat very healthily at home and
food is very important to my family, so
I don’t want my child to eat low quality
ingredients at school.
We agree! –
that’s why we insist that every ingredient we
use is of absolute Grade A standard:
• 90% of our ingredients are fresh
• All of our meat used in home cooked
dishes are farm assured by Red Tractor
• All our fish is sustainably sourced
and certified by the Marine
Stewardship Council
• All of our eggs are free range
• Our ingredients are locally sourced
wherever possible
Does anybody check and audit the
food ISS serves?
Yes! All of our food service and standards
are monitored regularly by our own
management team, York City Council and
also by independent inspectors as part of
our continues development program.
Can I have a say about the school meals
that I pay for?
Of course – we carry out regular surveys
and also attend parents evenings where
we are delighted to chat with you and
really get a personal feel for your family’s
requirements.
We would be delighted to see you on one
of these occasions and certainly welcome
your questions, thoughts and suggestions
at any time.

Special Diets & Allergies -
If your child has a specific dietary need
for a medical or personal reason, we
are delighted to provide for them as the
personal touch is what we do best! If you
would like your child to eat in School a
medical dietary request form is available
from your School’s reception.
Sustainability -
We are increasingly committed to sourcing
sustainable ingredient using integrated
multi-temperature vehicles which helps
to reduce food miles. We also promote
recycling, support the Soil Association
in promoting sustainability and local
procurement and encourage schools to
achieve Food for Life status. You can learn
