We’ve welcomed over 300 amazing new starters into the Mellors foodie team! Our catering teams have been serving up fresh, tasty lunches to students, supporting open days, and delivering top-notch, quality hospitality at teacher events. The dedication, energy, and creativity across #TeamMellors has been simply amazing!

Every day, our school catering teams lovingly create great-tasting food and mealtime memories, sprinkled with smiles and a dash of fun. Behind the scenes, our support team keep operations running, ensuring everything runs smoothly as we serve over 130,000 meals daily across the North of England, the Midlands, and beyond. That’s a lot of happy tummies!

“I’m so proud of the passion and commitment shown by our teams every day. From serving children their first school lunch to creating special memories at mealtimes, it’s the dedication of our people that makes Mellors what it is. Celebrating 30 years is a real milestone – and it’s only possible thanks to our incredible teams across all our sites. Here’s to another year of growth, flavour, and fun!”
