This new range celebrates our love for people, passion for quality food, and our proud legacy for food innovation. With each bite, you’ll taste tradition… with a twist! A Taste of HistoryDid you know Mellors began as a popular bakery in Southport in 1840? Our original recipe books have stood the test of time, with many classic dishes taken as inspiration in this exciting new range. Some have been reimagined with a modern flair, others are exclusive creations crafted specifically for this collection of dishes. In 1963, Klaas “Tim” Timmerman joined Mellors from Amsterdam on a bakery exchange programme – and never left! Known affectionately as “Mr. Tim,” his warmth, innovation, and dedication helped shape the Mellors spirit. Can you spot the nods to his legacy in our dishes? Why? More than just meals, Crafted by Mellors is about sparking curiosity, creativity, and connection with food. Students dine at school hundreds of times a year – so mealtimes should be exciting! We aim to create a strong relationship with nutritious, home-cooked food through fun, flavor, and storytelling. Tried, Tested, and Student-ApprovedOur Food Development Team has worked closely with the real food critics – students! After rounds of trials, feedback, and tweaking, we’re thrilled to reveal four delicious, stand-out signature dishes. The Mighty Stack A stacked-up, street-food style burger with two juicy patties, layered between soft buns. Topped with crisp little gem lettuce, crunchy gherkins, and a hit of Klaas’ Kickin’ Sauce. This dish is stacks above the rest… The Yorkie Wrap A savoury showstopper! Tender chicken and veg, seasoned with Mr. Tim’s secret spice blend, wrapped in a golden Yorkshire pudding blanket. Served with rich, silky gravy mayo for the ultimate dunk. The Twist Is it a scone? Is it a churro? It’s both – and neither! Inspired by a 156-year-old recipe, our Twist is a sweet treat with modern flair. Choose from chocolate drizzle, jam and cream, or other delightful toppings. Mr Tim’s Caramel Dream A comforting, fluffy sponge infused with a rich caramel sauce… and a secret ingredient (hint: it was once a luxury in 1840!). A nostalgic classic brought to life for today’s students. … Don’t Just Take our Word for It! Check out what students are saying… “The sauce is really good. You can taste the freshness!” – The Mighty Stack “Fluffy, moist. Perfect cream to cake ratio.” – Mr. Tim’s Caramel Dream “Eye-catching, interesting and something uniquely different.” Ready to Try? Crafted by Mellors is more than just food – it’s a celebration of heritage, flavour, and fun. Stay tuned for more exciting additions as we continue to make lunchtimes a highlight of the school day!
