Allergens
All allergens are carefully considered and catered for - Thomas Franks take this responsibility incredibly seriously. The team is provided with comprehensive training on differentiated allergen management procedures, other dietary needs and cooking bespoke food when needed.
There is an honesty in the food we serve and one which will benefit your students. The kitchen will be a hive of activity where all the dishes and locally sourced ingredients are freshly prepared and even the salad dressings are made from scratch. 98% of our food is freshly prepared on-site to maximise its flavour and goodness. The only frozen food permitted will be sweetcorn, peas and puff pastry; everything else will be made from natural, raw ingredients. Part of the way we encourage healthy eating is to provide beautifully cooked food with plenty of variety and fresh fruit and vegetables. Thomas Franks was founded on the principles of honesty, trust and loyalty. Where we only work with local and regional, family-owned suppliers.
