City Caterings new menu has arrived
This primary menu has proved challenging for City Catering, (a lot of blood sweat & tears were involved) because this term the nutrient based standards apply. It’s not just a matter of selecting dishes that we know most children will like, but balancing that with the nutritional analysis that is now required. City Catering have purchased a software package to analyse the menus, this Saffron package has been used extensively throughout the summer to check and ensure we meet the necessary requirements – all 14 of them.
- Includes new and favourite dishes
- Meets food based & nutrient based standards
- 4 weeks long to include more variety
- Fresh salad available daily as an added vegetable choice
- Chilled milk, yogurt or fresh fruit alternatives for dessert
- All food freshly prepared each morning
- Tasting sessions arranged to encourage children to try new dishes
