THOUSANDS of pupils and their guests will be tucking into what might be the country's largest-ever school dinner on Thursday, November 7.
As part of Lancashire County Council's celebration of National School Meals Week, up to 73,000 primary school children will be sitting down to roast chicken and all the trimmings or pasta and salad, followed by a homemade raspberry bun or fruit and yoghurt.
Several schools have invited their local county councillors along to try the meals themselves.
November also sees a new menu for primary schools, based on the theme of homemade 'old favourites'.
The main dishes featured will include roast beef and yorkshire pudding, meat and potato pie, spaghetti bolognese and turkey korma.
Kitchen staff are having ‘master class’ sessions run by the workforce development team to refresh their skills.
