Allergens 

If your child is allergic or intollerent to an item listed on the menu or has a specific dietary need please book them an allergy red or green via Arbor. An allerg dietary needs menu is also available to choose from on Arbor.  Please do not choose an allergy meal if your child is not allergic or intollerent, these meals are specially prepared in a separate kitchen area to be free of the top 19 allergens.

Due to supplier changes your child's option may occasionally need to be changed by Aspens Catering, in accordance to their dietary requirements/allergens.
