Raising standards of the catering provision ...
Recognising that many schools do not have access to a dedicated nutrition expert,
our registered dietitians and nutritionists team are here to help.
With vast experience in working with schools, our team provides the help and support required to implement current nutrition policy and legislation.
Working with school caterers and using a whole school approach, Pelican Nutrition will impart the expertise to enable schools to raise standards of catering provision; provide school food that is tasty, and nutritious; and demonstrate compliance with government school food standards and legislation.

Menu and catering practice advice
We work with schools to ensure all aspects of the catering operation reflect sound nutrition. From procurement, food preparation and cooking practices, through to the food served at mealtimes; we help to optimise the nutritional content of food provided to pupils and staff. We also offer schools advice on catering for pupils with adverse reactions to foods.
Guidance on school food standards
With mandatory food and nutrient-based standards in place in all state-maintained schools in England since September 2009, and the statutory National Minimum Standards for boarding schools, we give guidance on interpreting and implementing nutritional standards to state and independent schools.
Nutrient analysis
We are proud to offer Relish, a web-based nutritional analysis solution, which is tailor-made for the education marketplace. Uniquely, relish has been developed in-house by Pelican Nutrition, who also provide all the training and on-going support to ensure that your school meets the government’s nutritional standards. Our comprehensive one to one training will empower catering managers to compile a nutritionally analysed and balance school menu using relish.
We focus on your school needs and spend time with catering managers to ensure they are happy with inputting recipes and menu cycles. Dedicated support is provided to interpret and balance the nutritional analysis data.
