Nourishing Our Future
Welcome to the Dietary Information page for Ellesmere Kitchen, your trusted provider of delicious and nutritious school lunches in Ellesmere. We understand the importance of catering to various dietary needs and allergies. Here, you'll find essential information about our ingredients, preparation methods, and assurances regarding the safety and health of the food we provide for your children.
Understanding Common Dietary Needs
At Ellesmere Kitchen, we frequently cater to children with Dairy-Free, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free dietary requirements. While we take utmost care to avoid cross-contamination, it is important to note that we cannot guarantee our kitchen is entirely Celiac-safe. We use nuts sparingly, mainly for catering purposes. If your child has a nut allergy or any other allergies, please specify this when ordering, ensuring we can accommodate their needs. We are located at Ellesmere College and can be contacted on 0211250054 or via email at ellesmerekitchen.catering@gmail.com
Simple Ingredients, Exceptional Care
We prioritise using everyday ingredients and keeping our food simple to cater to a broad range of dietary needs. If your child has a specific ingredient allergy, please inform us when placing your order. We avoid overcomplicating our recipes to minimize potential issues for children and have options for gluten-free or vegetarian requirements. You can also check our "School Menus" page (School Menus) for detailed information on specific menu items. Visit our website at www.ellesmerekitchen.co.nz or visit us in person at Ellesmere College.
