Mellors unveils new Tuk Truck to serve street food in schools
The school food provider says ‘get ready to embark on a flavour-packed journey around the world’ as the Tuk Truck rolls into schools bringing a ‘unique blend’ of education, culture and tasty dishes to students.
Following the success of their iconic Big Red Bus, this new initiative is designed to ‘inspire’ students to explore new tastes, develop a positive relationship with healthy food and learn about cultures through cuisine.
Danielle Watkins, head of nutrition and food development at Mellors, said: “The Tuk Truck is more than just a fun way to serve lunch—it’s an invitation for young people to try something new, discover flavours from around the world, and learn about different cultures in a delicious and engaging way.”
Menu highlights include Pan-Asian chicken bowls, fresh and zesty Mexican tacos, soft bao buns filled with pulled chicken and Greek-style gyros.
Tony Trainor, chief executive of Mellors, added: “The Tuk Truck is a real passion project and the perfect way to celebrate our 30th anniversary. It brings together everything we stand for—fresh thinking, fun experiences, and making a meaningful difference at lunchtime. We’re thrilled with the response so far.
“We’re always exploring new innovative ways to raise the bar in school catering and push boundaries—creating fun, engaging, and educational food experiences that encourage students to enjoy fresh, nutritious meals. The Tuk Truck is a great example of this, sparking interest in world cultures and cuisines while making mealtimes memorable.”
The Tuk Truck is now officially on tour and it could be stopping at a school near you soon.
