our ethos
With every bite, we transform school menus into paths to wellness
At the heart of every dish is a commitment to the overall well-being of the children. Our school menus are crafted to serve food that children love to eat, while ensuring that they get their nutritional needs met.
We understand the importance of food safety and care in management of food allergies, and we go the extra mile to ensure that the school dining experience is always safe, healthy and satisfying.
food safety
Commitment
beyond the kitchen
Chartwells staff are all trained on special dietary needs and food allergen management to make sure that every meal is prepared with safety as our top priority.
We make our meals safe for every child by not preparing or using food containing tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, mollusc and sesame in our kitchens.Â
well-balanced meals
Wholesome meals crafted with knowledge and expertise
Our in-house nutritionists and chefs collaborate seamlessly to create customised meal options that deliver a well-balanced nutritional profile. Every dish is a harmonious blend of taste and nutrition, tailored meticulously to the evolving needs of your children.
plant-forward
Embracing nature
for health
Adopting a plant-forward approach, we emphasise both wellness and environmental sustainability. Using superfoods, we create mood-boosting, nutrient-rich meals, and promote a plant-forward menu. Our meals not only taste great, but also support the growing demand for plant-based products. Each bite is a step to a sustainable and healthier future.
delicious and nutritious
Locally sourced, freshly prepared
Quality ingredients are central to sumptuous meals. Our culinary team and nutrition experts share a unified passion sourcing fresh, minimally processed and locally grown ingredients. It is our goal to prove that healthful dining can be a tantalising treat for all the senses.
sports nutrition
Healthy habits, active living
Whether gearing up for Friday night games or staying energised during field day fun, our programmes are tailored to benefit all children. We promote sports nutrition education through engaging activities like presentations for athletic teams and vibrant training tables in the cafeterias. Along with effective communication resources that connect with parents, coaches, and kids, we ensure a holistic approach to health and wellness.
