We know that everyone coming to us needs delicious tasting,
high energy, well cooked & plentiful meals
Barry, our catering manager, ensures that all the food is child friendly whilst at the same time healthy. We also source as much of the produce from the local area such as:
About 85% of the fruit and vegetables are grown at Mill on the Brue using organic methods.The relationship between the estate team and the kitchen is vital, ensuring very little waste and creating menus depending on what is in season. We planted an edible hedge last winter with all sorts of pickable fruits.
If you have specific dietary requirements it is not a problem! The catering team have wide experience cooking for different diets such as specific food allergies, health conditions or religious requirements. None of the food cooked in the kitchen contains nuts.
“SHOCK HORROR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY 10 YEAR OLDS LIFE HE HAS REQUESTED TO HAVE SOME VEGETABLES!!!!! He has an extremely limited meat heavy diet so this is joy to my ears! He suddenly remembered trying your tomato soup whilst on a schools residential stay last October and thought he would like to try some again. Do you have a recipe I can use?” Email from parent.
We were runners up in BBC Radio 4’s Food and Farming Awards which we think says a lot!
In 2013 we still wanted to do something more so started a Zero Hero competition between our visiting schools to encourage reducing the food waste. It’s been a huge success cutting down our total food waste by 50% year on year!
In 2012 the overall customer food waste for that year was a 1000kg. We were shocked and knew we had to do something about it. We introduced the food waste challenge. If schools didn't throw any food away during their stay they became "Zero Heroes" receiving a certificate for their school and a prize for each child. In 2016 we bought a Ridan food composter which composts any food waste. In 2012 eight schools were "Zero Heroes". In 2018 43 schools have become "Zero Heroes". Even if the remaining schools have not become "Zero Heroes" the food waste has been reduced dramatically and many teachers are taking our practices to their schools and the children back to their families.
No food waste at all from Mill on the Brue goes to landfill.
