The dishes must conform to the National Food Based Nutritional Standards* and can be made up of poultry, meat, fish and non-meat proteins.

A maximum of £1.25 per head is allowed for the food cost of a main course and dessert for one child.

With school menus having to reflect popular themes from worldwide cuisine in order to appeal to today’s discerning youngsters, Nestlé Professional have included an extensive cross selection of Nestlé products in the contestants’ competition basket to help enhance their recipes.

At least one Nestlé product is required in each course of the contestant’s menu for the competition.

At each stage of the competition, the judging panel must comprise of a professional chef, a local authority catering expert, a dietician and two junior judges, a boy and a girl aged 11 years old.

The Chairman of the Judging Panel at the Regional Final and National Final stages will be Steve Oram, Food Development Chef from Nestlé Professional.

Judging is based on eight strict criteria, which range from flavour and presentation to the ability to replicate the dishes en masse in school and seasonality of ingredients.
