Russet House School

School Meals and Health Eating

Nut awareness notice

Russet House school is a food allergy aware school. We have children in school with severe nut allergies and it is vital that we keep them as safe as possible. Please do not send any items containing nuts in to school for your child for snacks or packed lunches. Also please do not bring any items containing nuts on to our school site. Thank you.

Russet House has a kitchen on site where meals are prepared and served. 

Enfield Catering Services provide the school meals, and use quality ingredients. Menus are nutritionally balanced and include seasonal and locally sourced produce.

• All eggs are free-range and locally sourced.
• Fruit and vegetables are seasonal and locally produced. For example,  potatoes, cucumbers, onions and peppers come from Nazeing in Essex and apples and pears come from Kent.
• Meat comes from a butcher and is guaranteed to meet UK animal welfare standards (Farm-Assured as a minimum).
• All fish is Marine Stewardship Certified (MSC)  
• Menus meet the Government’s Food, and Nutrient-based standards.
• A vegetarian option is always available
• No pork or pork products are served

Please let us know if your child has any special dietary requirements such as gluten or dairy-free.
